    Anyone have a McMillan A5-7?

    I am looking to order a new stock from McMillan and was set on the A5. I'm currently using an A3-5 but I didn't order it with some options I'd like now so I'm going for a new model. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the butthook but figured it wasn't a huge deal either way so I...

    Switch barrel Remington 700, let’s talk options,

    I have a bighorn origin action and I use the bugholes action wrench. I believe that wrench will do most 700 pattern actions.

    Switch barrel Remington 700, let’s talk options,

    Yep that's basically what I was thinking. I don't need to do it in the field so I could just use my viper barrel vise on the bench and use the rear action wrench.

    Switch barrel Remington 700, let’s talk options,

    For guys that use your rifle as a switch barrel, do you ever remove the barrel while leaving the action in the stock? You'd have to obviously use the barrel vise further up on the barrel but that still seems like a better way to do it than using a wrench all the way out at the muzzle.

    Good Score Sunday (SR90 + ACOG)

    I know someone with an sr-90. Maybe I should try to take it off their hands.

    223 Rem and other 224 Cal Variations

    It definitely looks cool and it would be nice to trim less.

    223 Rem and other 224 Cal Variations

    I've looked at 223ai but my straight 223 shoots great. No fire-forming or potential feeding issues to deal with.

    30-06 still relevant?

    Thanks for the tip. Randall happens to be local to me and I didn't think there were any decent smiths here. I might have to have him bed a stock for me.

    Frequent Removal Of Bedded Action

    The origin isn't integral lug but it is pinned. I think I'm just going to make it a dedicated rifle. My current rifle is 223 and I like it so much I want to have it always setup.

    Frequent Removal Of Bedded Action

    Looking to possibly have some work done on my rifle which would include a different stock and having it bedded. While the rifle is at the smith I was going to have him chamber me another barrel in a different caliber as well. The rifle is an origin action so I could use it like a switch barrel...

    Custom action options for 7PRC build

    I'm kind of in the same boat for my next build. I currently have an origin. I've looked at everything on the market and keep coming back to the origin.

    .223 - 5.56

    I will say even if you decide you don't want to mandrel every time it's a great tool to have for new brass which is often dented and undersized or if you drop a piece of brass at some point in the loading process and don't want to run it through the full length die again.

    .223 - 5.56

    I use a redding type s set. If I had to do it again I'd consider a wilson bushing die and a forster micrometer seater. I use a bushing to size about .002 under desired neck tension then use a .222 mandrel. I'd also recommend starline brass.
