    Custom Tikka T3 Lite by Chad at LongRifles Inc

    Chad said the rifle was right 7.5 lbs. Adding the new Leupold VX6 1 - 6 will add 14 oz plus another 4 oz for the rings, so just over 8.5 pounds.

    Gunsmithing What kind of anti-seize lub to use

    Chad didn't do the brake work. The new brake came with suppressor build which I recieved right after the build. However that will be a conversation for my local smith who timed and attached the brake.

    Gunsmithing What kind of anti-seize lub to use

    Yesterday I took my new rifle built by Chad at LongRifles Inc to the range. It shot lights out. However went I went to remove the suppressor it had seized to the brake and the brake unscrewed from the barrel instead of the suppressor. Thank goodness I brought the thread protector cap. I had...

    Custom Tikka T3 Lite by Chad at LongRifles Inc

    I was finally able to get my new Tikka build out to the range to see what she would do. I tried last week but the new Leupold V6 1-6 had such a bad parallax issue it was impossible to sight the rifle in. I had to send the scope back to Leupold to be re-calibrated. As fate would have Chad...

    Gunsmithing New Proof Research Press Release

    Damoncali, Many thanks for your feedback and insight. Like you reading their website didn't leave me with any convincing information that they solve the insulating issues or how. Time and testing will tell.

    Gunsmithing New Proof Research Press Release

    I’ve followed these carbon wrapped barrel processes for a long time. From a physics stand point carbon is an insulator. In the past as much as some manufactures have stated that their particular carbon wrap doesn’t act as an insulator and dissipates heat quicker than steel. I believe this has...

    Gunsmithing Precision Rifle Cleaning

    When I clean, my cleaning regiment is very similar to Greg L. I start out with 3 or 4 patches of Wipeout Accelerator to push the bulk of the crud out before using a bore foam. Spray bore foam cleaner let sit for 30 min and patch clean. I follow up with a patch of FireClean oil followed by a few...

    Cheap custom action?

    Find yourself a used Tikka rifle and use the action as the basis or your new build. Chad at LongRifles Inc just finished my build. He let me know my action was as true, slick and smooth as any custom action on the market. Enough so John his partner is doing his own custom build using a used...

    Suppressors Any loss of accuracy with your suppressors

    I know putting on a suppressor usually changes your POI. My question is does it, will one degrade your accuracy any?

    Gunsmithing Short Magnums

    I really like my 300WSM and the fact that it’s built on a short action and shoots very well. I think the euphoria over the short magnums is in the rear view mirror and very much behind us. Out of all the short magnum calibers I think the 7MM WSM and 300 WSM are here to stay. I think the other...

    Gunsmithing FireClean Oil ....... Good stuff!

    I know I started this thread and I have no experience with FL. However I do know what I went through when I cleaned my Rem 1100 for the first time in years. It took quite a bit of carborator cleaner and wire brush to get the carbon off the gas rings. It just wouldn't wipe right off. When I...

    Suppressors Accuracy of sub-sonic loads

    For those of you shooting sub-sonic ammo out of your suppressed .308's how many of you are getting sub MOA accuracy? The reason I ask, I've tried sub-sonic ammo out of my suppressed .308 and basically I was happy putting 5 rounds into a 4" circle at 100 yards. This was about the absolute best...
