    Best d.i.y. option for brass annealing.

    That would work, I've seen similar setups. I'll just add the advantage to this over a drill and/or socket method is consistency. With the skip design or similar, the rotor speed sets the anneal time, and torch holder basically sets the heat applied. I use tempilaq to make sure it's adequate to...

    Tikka TAC A1 Chassis

    I liked the Tac A1 chassis and mags when I used a friend's. I went with an AICS pattern chassis for my Tikka because I'm running a BR variant and wanted extended mags. The lack of BR kits and mag extensions is the only bummer about the CTR mags, but might be irrelevant based on how you use it.

    Tikka TAC A1 Chassis

    It's not a barrel nut, just looks like one. Doesn't actually contact the barrel (just chassis to handguard), no modification needed. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/tikka-tac-a1-has-anyone-removed-one-from-chassis.6532455/ I've seen them go for around $600 a while back, but search...

    straight walled cartridge options?

    Go 350 Legend or 450 Bushmaster. Factory ammo and guns available for both, and they're more than adequate inside 200.

    Was looking for sage advice but I wound up here... Looking for new rifle for my nephew

    Without searching too hard, you could get this barreled action with a trigger and brake plus a Bravo for well under $2k, plus then you have a switchlug https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/wts-wtt-relist-curtis-axiom-w-switchlug-and-6-5-cm-hawkhill-barrel.7004153/

    Bighorn Origin - $900 Prefit 6.5 CM Heavy Palma 26" - $500 KRG Bravo - $350 Trigger Tech Diamond - $250 Total $2000 Still missing a brake but you could get a JM for like $30. But honestly the best bet is to buy used in the PX here.

    DIY sticky shooting bags

    Stretch thread might work, but could also allow the whole seam to stretch open, you would have to try it. The heavy duty sewing machine needle I used is advertised as a denim needle.

    DIY sticky shooting bags

    I've been really liking the looks of the sticky pint sized GC and pump pillow but would rather put the funds towards guns. So I decided to try to make my own. I bought some 1000d cordura (Amazon), some Toughtek non slip fabric (Etsy, surprisingly, was...

    DIY sticky shooting bags

    It's nothing special, a Brother brand a few years old my wife got for ~$100 on Craigslist. I got some heavier needles for it (I forget the kind but I'll post when I get home). I was also a little nervous about people saying you needed some beast of a sewing machine for 1000D but that's been...

    6mm BRA

    The standard no turn seems to be a Wheeler #1 with a 0.272 neck. If you call JGS they'll have that. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/6mm-bra-info.6913947/post-7375330

    Gunsmithing Barrel Vise and Action Wrench

    Agreed, not ideal to use that combination of vise and bushings. But I got a ton of torque out of it anyway, almost cracked my (cheap) work bench.

    Gunsmithing Barrel Vise and Action Wrench

    I bought a lightly used Tikka T3x in stainless. Got a Wheeler #1 action wrench and had to buy longer bolts but it worked great. Bought a Wally Cooper barrel wrench with a variety of Al bushings off eBay. That didn't work at all, barrel kept slipping, so I bought the SAC tapered Tikka bushing...
