    700 5R - slighty customized

    Re: 700 5R - slighty customized The 5R is a great production rifle. I'm getting 1/2 moa or better with handloads. I wonder if it's any better than LTR or PSS models. The cheekpiece is a great modification. I've since sewn an olive drab cotton bootie that slips over it to make it real comfy...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle brake sizing

    Re: Muzzle brake sizing Thanks. Also, what about the exit hole size? How much larger than the caliber should it be. Different manufacturers recommend different dimensions and some don't have a recommendation at all. Is 0.350" too big?

    Gunsmithing Muzzle brake sizing

    How do you decide which size muzzle brake to buy? There's always a choice for diameter and thread count, for example 5/8"x24. I have a 308 with final bbl dia 0.820"

    Is this a stupid idea?

    Re: Is this a stupid idea? +1 multiple rigs. I've not heard of anyone doing this and there's probably a good reason. This is an expensive sport. Get over it. You may want to consider focusing on fewer disciplines. Each of them take time to master. I'd build one purpose-built rig and...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote vs. Duracoat

    Re: Cerakote vs. Duracoat Thanks. That search was helpful. The concensus seemed to be that cerakoting is more durable but more difficult to apply well. Doing patterns on stocks is easier with duracoat.
