    Shilen Rifles/Actions

    From what I've found out so far, the actions are Stiller Predator actions, with Savage threads and nut. I tried researching the bolt head issue and made a bit of a discovery. It looks like the Stiller actions use PTG bolts. And PTG makes replaceable floating bolt heads for Savages. So I'm...

    Took the m70 out for one last time before its transformation.

    When I have a project rifle, I have one rule. NEVER shoot the donor.

    Tactial Rifles 308 Rifle

    You should walk up to them with one of their turd rifles and ask them to point out how awesome they are in front of potential buyers.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold's TMOA as a Hunting Reticle?

    I'm with you. If this reticle actually came to a true crosshair in the middle, I'd buy one. But for long range work, I can't imagine leaving an open center area.

    Gunsmithing Short action .284 Win "tactical"l build on a Shilen action/barrel

    Not to sidetrack this thread, but I'd like to hear a little more on what it takes for case prep. Do you neck turn into the neck on the 6.5x284 brass, then run it through a 284 expander, then re-turn into the neck again? Also, where in MI do you shoot?

    Gunsmithing Short action .284 Win "tactical"l build on a Shilen action/barrel

    I've never heard of someone getting doughnuts when necking brass UP. Is this something that happens regularly to 284 shooters?

    .30-06 rifle build, input appreciated

    I'm in the middle of building a heavy 30-06 myself. I think it should round out at about 17lbs, so I'm not too concerned about the recoil. For the rest of those who talk about the recoil being such a huge turn off, I just ran the numbers and they just aren't far enough from a 308 to make me...

    precision rifles... show em

    Is that one of the M-24 rebuilds? What'd you do with the stock that came with it?

    ESA/Savage Biathlon Rifle....?

    That stock is pretty specific to Biathlon matches. I would think there's dozens of better options for a replacement stock to be used as an all around gun.

    Gunsmithing melonite/ salt bath nitride coating worth $150-$220?

    I've been tempted to have this done to a custom build I'm in the process of getting built, but I don't want to have to pay a smith to take it apart and re-assemble it later.

    Gunsmithing McMillan G30 Long Action Antelope Rifle (D. Barlow)

    That action has me very intrigued. It appears to be completely 700 stock and trigger compatible, but has a better safety, extractor, and a nice side bolt release. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the angle of the bolt in the stock picture. Chad- Did you do any truing or anything to...

    6XC Loads

    Does anyone have any recommendations for Varmint loads with the 6XC? Anything in the 75gr-90gr range perhaps?

    This is how it is done... (I just have to brag)

    I just want to know where you got the Sig from?

    What bipod should I buy?

    Will an Atlas not attach to a standard bipod stud?

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    Should be a great hunting bullet, but maybe a bit expensive for punching paper. Hopefully they can apply that technology to a cheaper match bullet to get those high BC numbers.
