    Any regrets going custom?

    I've recently received my first Longrifles custom. I have many other nice, high end factory sticks, and NONE compares to what I feel shooting my custom. Everything about it is just nicer. Running the bolt feels better, it was measured up when I built it to put the trigger where I want it...

    Gunsmithing What diameter bolt to order? PTG one piece Rem 700 SA

    I would just order a standard. When they say .6995-.700, they are representing a manufacturing tolerance. The .0005 is not enough to worry about in this case. The reason the diameter option is on that order form is for guys building large calibers that need bigger bolt diameters. My defiance...

    300gr VLD Hybrid@ 1700M

    I'm curious as to the weight of the rifle as shown? Currently got a similar one in progress. A Defiance action, Bartlien 28" MTU 1-9" twist, Thunderbeast 338p-1 suppressor, Manners T4A, Nightforce NSX 5.5-22x50, and Atlas bipod. Any predictions on weight..........other than HEAVY? Barrel, and...

    Gun shops like barber shops?

    The owner of my gunshop has known me pretty much since the day I was born. I buy from him if at all possible, and in return he treats me very well, especially on trades. There are others around, and their sticker prices may be cheaper, but through all of our past business, I usually get a better...

    Range Report 338 Lapua shooting steel at 100 yards

    I shot a piece of AR400, hanging at 100 yds with a .300 wby using a 208 A-max once. Makes a big hole, and keeps on trucking. I don't recommend it. At least that is if you want your steel to last.

    where to put left hand during prone..

    Re: where to put left hand during prone.. Being a southpaw, usually near the trigger........ my right hand, if shooting field conditions, with no rear bag, is under the stock, by my shoulder, like yours. Not as steady as with a bag, but if it's all you've got, it's better than nothing.

    Re: Is there an ammo ban in the works I am missing...? Word I got from manufacturers is 9-12 months. That's just to get caught up with backorders.

    .338 Lapua build, action choice input sought

    Re: .338 Lapua build, action choice input sought While not a complete set, when I was looking, I found Defiance to be very nice. I then added a Jewell trigger, and they can cut the action for whatever bottom metal you want to run. I went with seekins, but you can use something with AICS mags...

    Suppressors trust after the fact

    Re: trust after the fact Maybe so someone else may be in possesion of the suppressor without your presence? As I understand it, nobody else can be in possesion of your can without you there? If it's in a trust, and they are a trustee, they can be in possesion of the can without you there. Is...

    Suppressors Form 1 wait times?

    Re: Form 1 wait times? Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't confident enough to build a .338 magnum suppressor, but I do have a smaller CNC mill, and lathe in my garage, I'm pretty sure I could come up with something for a .22LR

    Suppressors Form 1 wait times?

    Just started going through my first wait on a form 4 for my TBAC 338p-1, which is going slowly, of course. In the process, I saw some baffle designs, especially monocore designs, and thought. "Hey, I can do that!" Now I'm wondering if a form 1 takes as long to go through as a form 4 does...

    Suppressors Buddy's PA CLEO refusing to sign for civilians?

    Re: Buddy's PA CLEO refusing to sign for civilians? The county Sheriff here was sued for not signing for one. Then the guy went to the state's attorney and got it signed anyway. If the Sheriff won't sign it, I would look into the states attorney.

    Rifle Scopes Where to buy Nightforce NXS?

    Re: Where to buy Nightforce NXS? Thanks guys. I'm going to a major sporting goods store tomorrow, but I've a feeling they are not going to budge on their price, so I'll be looking for one.
