    Buying a Left Handed 6.5 - Need Some Guidance

    Lefty here too, I'd pick up a donor rem 700. Say $400? Trigger $200 Custom Tube $350 $950, smith range 300-500? Depending on what they do to action. Or, go remage, CBI. You are right at the $950 range, plenty left for a stock!

    Target material options to bracket steel to see off shots?

    Thanks fellas. I'll do some searching and try some ideas above. Ya, 800 to 1000 or so is the concern. Mainly just spot for each other through our scopes. Decent berms and shorter distance makes closer work need to just break down and get a couple 4 moa steel targets made. With a 1 moa or...

    Target material options to bracket steel to see off shots?

    Hello, hope title makes sense. My range is pretty flat. Not much in the way of berms. Spotting off shots past 500 gets tough. Tried 4x4 sheet metal. Also just paper with limited success. Looking for a material to basically overlay the gong. So we can spot off shots easier. Like a...

    16-18 inch build questions.

    I'll say I love the 6.5 saum,,,I have 2 rifles chambered for it, and a third barrel sitting. That said, I just ran a 16 inch barrel load through QuickLOAD. Only getting a 97% burn on the powder, and 2710FPS. Entered a 140 bullet and 61 grains of H1000. @ 18" get 98% and 2808 and...

    Anyone hunting with Mcmillan A5?

    In my hunting circle I don't know anyone with anything but a A5, A3, game scout, warden, EH1. But maybe I have weird friends, LOL. I had a 284 on an edge fill, medium palma 26, adjustable hardware, NF 5.5-20, Believe it came in at 12 pounds? Current preference is a EH1 or the game...

    Quick brass drying

    I use the oven but at 180 for 30 minutes. I'm annealing at much more than that. 400 seems a bit too high. I do not know if you are at a dangerous temp. But hey. Back it off to 200 a go a bit longer?

    Loose Barrel

    I've done barrel changes on savages around 30 times. Never had this issue. Always use grease too. Just undo it and do it again. There was some type of an issue the first time around. Beauty about the savage. Or remage if that's what you have. Just do it again. And you...

    Scope change and huge issue holding zero - opinions needed

    Ya, the other rifle not grouping has been in the back of my mind....... I should have waited for another range report to post maybe. It was the "v" group that had me stumped. Just never seen it. From my dope the elevation needed at 300 was 3 moa. Rifle shot between 0 and 3...

    Scope change and huge issue holding zero - opinions needed

    Well, wish I had taken a pic but my rifle has been shooting 1 moa easy. Most times better. It's a gap Barreled 6.5 saum. I swapped a high dollar scope off a seldom used rifle i was having issues finding a good load at 100 with. First trip to the range at 300 I basically shot a "V" At 300...

    Longrifles Inc. 300WSM

    Quick question on your neck. With the .335 neck what are you turning you turning your necks to? And what's your loaded round neck diameter. Thinking about the 300 myself. Just debating between a no turn and a turn neck. Thanks. Nice rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce=excellent. March=excellent with low weight. other scopes worth looking at?

    I'll look at the scopes mentioned. I should not have mentioned hunting. Yes this scope will ride a hunting rig but 99% of the shooting I do is paper and steel. Paper out to 350 (range limitations) Steel out to however far we feel like walking.... So turrets get a lot of use, and solid...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce=excellent. March=excellent with low weight. other scopes worth looking at?

    Love my nightforce. Love the March. I have the 2.5-25 second focal plane scope. March is my number one simply because of weight and the extended zoom range. Nightforce tho is brighter and just as solid. But again I'm comparing a 40 vs 50mm objective. Both great scopes. In need of...

    Any 284 Shooters out there. Looking for duel purpose build

    LVMED that's funny. Didn't notice it when I typed it. Maybe I'll change to multiple purpose. Or at least dual

    Any 284 Shooters out there. Looking for duel purpose build

    Well, as they say winter is coming. So time for next build is what I say. For an action I'm almost positive I'm going with a defience hunter. Really looking hard at the 284. I'm a hunter first. But do have a couple dedicated target rifles. I shoot a 20 pound 6 dasher for mid range f...

    New kelbly atlas tactical action

    Ian, or anyothers who might know. I have two atlas builds. My 300WM is a hunting arm, also have Dasher for F-Class. Love both by the way! The 300WM is a hunting arm, and I live in a pretty wet environment. I'd like to get it coated. That said, did you adjust the tolerances for...

    6.5 SAUM Drop and data questions

    I repeated the scope test. Repeated my velocities. All good to go. My March is adjusting in true moa I last piece is BC. Are folks finding the 130 bergers accurate at .282 G7??? Did another trip out today. Farthest was 920 or so. If I adjust the BC to .274 then I start aligning...
