    PTS Fall Team Precision Rifle Match

    Re: PTS Fall Team Precision Rifle Match What a blast. My second match at Cookeville. Scott and Ryan put on a first class game. The ROs are the best and Mike is a hoot as usual. The only way to make it better is for me to shoot better.Order the same weather for the spring and do it again.

    Which custom Action?

    Re: Which custom Action? I have a Bighorn tactical and a Stiller TAC 30. Both are quality actions but the Bighorn is much smoother and faster to operate. It is also very reasonably priced.

    GAP, SURGEON, or MCMILLAN TAC

    Re: GAP, SURGEON, or MCMILLAN TAC I second Jon Beanland's builds. My first all out tactical rifle was a beanland in 260. For about $3600 I got all the bells and whisels and a top notch accurate rifle. His customer service is second to none.

    6.5 Rant...

    Re: 6.5 Rant... I started studying ballistics tables about a year ago for a new rifle build. My criteria was; short action, less drop than a .308 175gr., decent barrel life, enough energy at 1200 yds to see a hit on steel. At the time I did not shoot tactical. Now that I have had my Beanland...

    Copper Removal, No More?

    Re: Copper Removal, No More? I have four rifles with match grade barrels; 204,243,260,308. I see very little copper build up in these barrels after hundreds of shots and after a through cleaning it usually takes one or two shots to get the rounds into the group again but those one or two...

    Bullet seating inconsistency

    Re: Bullet seating inconsistency I am dealing with a similar issue right now. I do not measure COAL. I measure to a datum line using a custom comparator that my gunsmith made for my rifle using a section of my barrel that was cut off and then reamed with the same chamer reamer. I was getting...

    AR 15 light firing pin strikes

    My bushmaster which has seen little use has about a 20% failure to fire on Wolfe ammo. The firing pin strikes look light. I have not had a failure to fire using commercial ammo or my reloads. Is this just a weak spring or does Wolf have a reputation for hard primers?

    Bolt binding on Stiller Action

    Re: Bolt binding on Stiller Action I responded to wnroscoe's PM and on his suggestion I looked at the lugs. The lugs did not have very sharp corners on the leading edges but the anti bind grove on the right lug had very sharp leading edges.I stoned a small radius on those edges and also the...

    Bolt binding on Stiller Action

    I just put together a rifle using a new Stiller TAC 30. The fit and finish on the action is first class but I have a problem that I cannot seem to solve. The bolt binds when opening or closing.It is worse when closing. It is a friction issue and not an interference. If pressure is applied...
