    .308 barrel length and throat questions....

    Re: .308 barrel length and throat questions.... Also, one other quick question. How different are the locations of the ogives on the SMKs compared with the AMAX bullets? Ideally I would like to set the lands up so that I can easilty reach them with either bullet, just in case I do switch to...

    .308 barrel length and throat questions....

    I am having a rifle built on a CRF FN action, and need some advice. The rifle will be used primarily as a paper puncher/steel ringer out to 600 yards, but I will occasionally run it to 100 yards. I am sticking with a .308, and plan on shooting 168 or 178gr AMAX bullets. Here are my...

    Need 'smith for FN action

    Re: Need 'smith for FN action Thanks for the suggestions. I have a call in to Ken at GAP, so I am awaiting a return call. I'll also check with Aj Brown, and see what they can offer me.

    Need 'smith for FN action

    I'm looking at rebarreling my FN action, and figured it would be a good time to go ahead and true the action. Any suggestions on a 'smith to do the work, at least one who can complete the work under 3-4 months? Thanks!

    FN vs 700 for build?

    Re: FN vs 700 for build? Thanks for the input! Right now I am leaning towards the FN, but I'm still not sure. I already have a 7mm-08 built on a trued 700 action with Bartlein barrel, so it would make sense to have another built in .308 simply for consistency sake. Then again, I do like...

    FN vs 700 for build?

    I've accumulated too many heavy barrel bolt guns, and I have decided to sell a few and have a semi-custom built. However, I can't decide which action to use as the basis for the build. Right now, I have two actions at my disposal. The first is a Remington 700 with a take-off 5R stock, and the...

    Rifle Scopes TPS sucks, or maybe jus me.

    Re: TPS sucks, or maybe jus me. TPS makes great rings, but as it has been mentioned several times, their customer service is extremely lacking. I had a set of their alloy rings break, and it was a PITA getting them replaced through TPS.

    Re: Primer Selection for 5.56 Accuracy Load If I don't forget when I get home, I'll post some SD numbers from testing I did with Varget an 77gr SMKs using various primers.

    Primer Selection for 5.56 Accuracy Load

    Re: Primer Selection for 5.56 Accuracy Load I agree with the post above. I have tried my goto 77gr SMK load with Wolf, CCI #41s, and CCI BRs with no appreciable change in accuracy or SD. In fact, some of my lowest SD numbers have been with Wolf primers, and I have yet to find a reason to...

    Rifle Scopes Ring lapping kits

    Re: Ring lapping kits Thanks again for the information. I've been looking at both kits, and I really can't see how the Kokopelli is that much better than the Wheeler kit. I am not trying to be too cheap here, and it may simply be my inexperience with these kits, but I really can't see a...

    Rifle Scopes Ring lapping kits

    Re: Ring lapping kits Thanks for the links. I've never heard of the Kokopelli kit, and they are certainly more expensive than the Wheeler. I can get a combo 30mm/1" kit from Wheeler for less than $70, whereas the same from Kokopelli would run well over $150. Is the kit that much better?

    Rifle Scopes Ring lapping kits

    I am looking at ordering a 30mm and 1" lapping kit for scope rings, and have narrowed my choices to Wheeler. Any reason to go with another brand, or is the Wheeler kit GTG?
