    Carbon Barrels Bartlein or Proof?

    Well, since I have an obsession with 7MM-08's it will be another one :) Should be the best one yet hopefully;) So far I have most of the parts, have a TriggerTech trigger, Hawkins Precision bottom metal, Proof Research carbon fiber stock and am waiting on the action which will be a Defiance...

    Carbon Barrels Bartlein or Proof?

    I am in the process of collecting parts for a new build and went with the Bartlein. I've had really good luck with their barrels so figured why not when they came out with the CF wrapped barrels. Found one of the #4 contours in stock, now just waiting on the action to be delivered.

    Bartlein Carbon Wrapped Barrels

    Frank, I think what XTREM HTR16 and I are wondering is on the blanks that are supposed to "finish @24", could they possible be finished a little shorter? I have my #4 contour being delivered today. I'll be building a 7MM-08 with it, and had wondering how much could be cut off on the muzzle...

    Bartlein Carbon Wrapped Barrels

    @Frank Green If you have a stock inlet for a regular Bartlein #4 contour will the new CF wrapped #4 fit? Or they the same contour or? Thanks!

    Remington 700 vtr

    Sure - its still just a regular model 700 action with a funky barrel screwed on. Or buy a good custom or see of you can find a take off barrel in the classifieds.

    Hunting & Fishing Carbon fiber stock choices

    With the parts you listed, I'd take a look at the AG Composites Privateer. Had a chance to fondle one of these recently and was really impressed with it. Super stiff fore-end and good overall ergos. This was on a Defiance action/Proof Sendero Lite 6.5 CM build. Another one to consider, and...

    Bartlein Barrel Tapers...What's the difference?

    Every custom barrel maker has various barrel contours which is what you are describing. Pick the one that works best for your needs, I'm sure you will get plenty of replies about which one is perfect:) For me since I mostly have hunting rifles, I'm a big fan of their 2b contour.

    Hunting & Fishing Pronghorn hunting in Wyoming... anyone have advice/contacts?

    Yup, go on the website and check out the "Hunt Planner" page. It gives details info on whatever units you want to look at. It also gives you the draw odds and the local bio that you can contact for specific info. FYI, I've been looking at the draw odds and its getting tough to get tags, any...

    Another vote for the little .243(y) I've killed 25+ antelope with mine, no complaints from me or the antelopes;)

    Lilja versus bartlein barrels

    The most accurate rifle I own has a Lilja #3 contour barrel on it. But I think its just a good barrel that was chambered and installed by a great gunsmith who could probably get any barrel to shoot;)

    Ultimate Hunting Rifle?

    Chad, unless its some sort of uber top secret - can you tell me how you are able to get Ti M700 actions?? I agree with you, the 700 Ti isn't a bad place to start if truly wanting a lightweight mountain hunting type rifle. I sure like my 7MM-08 Ti.

    Lighten a Tikka bolt lift with new shroud?

    Karl Feldkamp @ Kampfeld Customs does that flute - its his Ti flute. He flutes the bolt then he Cerakotes the flutes in graphite black or I suppose any color you wanted.

    Lighten a Tikka bolt lift with new shroud?

    Hey since your a fellow ifisher I do have an extra Mountain Tactical shroud - its yours for $25 bucks if you want it. Thinks its the Gen 2 version and full disclosure it rattles a little bit sometimes when installed but isn't plastic;) Send me a PM over on ifish if you want it. Welcome to the...

    Lighten a Tikka bolt lift with new shroud?

    You can also order a T3X aluminum bolt shroud directly from Beretta, it fits the T3 just fine and is a nice replacement for the plastic one and I think a bit cheaper than some others.
