    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    So the Proof Research barrel I purchased has a 5/8x24 threads on the business end and was wondering if any of you have experimented a little with comps? I did some digging and found some research done on the APA fat bastard, did really well but there’s a new version 2 so I don’t know if it’s...

    My thought process behind it, if possible, was to have a chassis that I could then later switch to a bigger caliber if I wanted to.

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    Right, there was just info all over the place on other threads contradictory to one another as to which one I would need to purchase to fit the TL3. Bighorn offers DLC on their website for the same price last I checked. Just bought a 24” savage prefit Proof Research barrel. So I’m solid there...

    Why wouldn’t I want one on a long range shooting gun? This definitely won’t be a utility rifle..just a plinking off the table or mat. My friends AR-30 is set to 1-2 pounds and love how that feels so I definitely don’t plan on adjusting it above 2.

    Ahh no worries bud. Thanks for helping me out so far. At least we figured it out. I contacted bighorn to put my deposit in and was told they’re releasing something new at shot show in January soOoOo looks like my build may be on pause.

    I searched also but came out confused because on accuracy tech a blog writer by the name of Rich made a first impression article about it and he says they use the savage small shank specification which is what you listed and not the larger thread size they started using for the WSM calibers so...

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    For sure bud, I’m sure someone along the way thinking about going with a similar set up and read this thread may be intrigued by your info and may sway them from spending a lot more money. Yea I’m definitely going to go that route this way I can play with other and exsisting calibers that I...

    Josh at CORE got back to me about fit in the MPA chassis and told me to definitely go with the Remi 700 as that footprint fits best. In case anyone was wondering.

    You mentioned your starting to acquire some reloading goodies. Here’s my little set up minus the Lyman wet tumbler. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/i64.tinypic.com\/n51llk.jpg"}

    AHart76 thanks for sharing, if I was on a tighter budget I would definitely consider what you did but as you can see for the parts I have listed so far, I’m not. I can shoot at home out to distances of 1,100 yards and my friends and I have to always one up each other which keeps it interesting...

    Dayuuum, just spent some time reading that entire thread. Seems like accuracy is coming down to the formula of the loads used.

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    Will do. So while doing some more research on the bighorn tl3 I read that it’s pointless to buy a premium action and put a above factory chamber on it. So what’s your opinion on that should I go with a shouldered barrel? They say the TL3 is so precise that a smith doesn’t need to have the action...

    Sweet I’ll check them out in a bit and see what they have to offer. Thank you. I see, I’m learning lots here thanks for putting up with me haha. Question that might be a dumb one..when I was looking on MPA’s website earlier on the order form it didn’t have the big horn listed so which one...

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    You’ve got a really good point there now that I’ve done a little more research on them I may have to switch it up with them instead of Defiance. I plan on ringing steel further than I ever have before and possibly try the competition scene. Because I was looking at MPA’s switchlug rifle where...

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    Ah ok, someone will possibly chime in. Ok that makes sense and don’t blame you for going that route because of what you’ve mentioned. Haha hey, I’m a sucker for details so I don’t blame you for being partial on the knob! Gotchaaa! Well that depends Wyfox has me second guessing my decision on...

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    Yep, your totally right! I guess I should’ve stated that if I had to I could let a smith finish it off for me, but I definitely wanted to be the one to select the parts and not buy a complete rifle. Why would you say that Bighorn has the best actions available? Also if I go short action does...

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    I have a friend that’s a gun smith so that wouldn’t be too big of a deal but that is definitely an option I could look into if I decide to go that route. Has anyone had it done by Accuracy international or Surgeon rifles for example? If so what was the turn around time and cost? Thanks fellas I...

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    I bet there’s a lot of options and I’m not dead set on what I’ve picked which is why I’ve posted this thread to pick peoples brain a little bit. The reason for the long action is just because if later I decide to turn the chassis into a larger caliber I can do so..at least that was my thought...

    New build..help me spend some tax money?

    Alright fellas so I’’ve been lurking and doing some research on here as this would be my first precision rifle build. I typically like to build/assemble them and get to know them really well so I prefer this method rather than buying straight out as my first so please don’t tell me to buy one...
