    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    @XLR Industries that looks incredible... do you have any more pictures of that build, specifically showing how the action looks nestled into the chassis? Also, is the standard Envy package available with the Black Bear inlet?

    PVA Black Friday Barrel Lead Time

    Yeah I would assume it got locked because some forum vendors were starting to get dragged through the dirt. If I were a PVA customer waiting on something I would probably be upset, as it seemed to be the only avenue for them to get updates on their long lost orders.

    Rem 700 223 tac. Need opinions

    Would recommend dropping the barreled action into a Grayboe stock (take your pick of their options). Replacing the factory trigger with a TriggerTech primary/special would be nice as well. Shoot it a bunch, and see what kind of accuracy you can get with the factory barrel and some good hand loads.

    Safest 700 trigger?

    Not a veteran, but in my engineering experience your assessment is 100% correct! I was just curious about the details of this "test" that only the Geissele trigger passed... This is the first I'm hearing that my TriggerTech might not be "up to the same safety spec" as another trigger, which...

    Safest 700 trigger?

    Can anyone tell me what the specifics are of the military's drop safety test is? If I have disassembled/reassembled my rifle or adjusted the trigger in any way I always perform my own "drop test" in which I cycle the bolt to cock the firing pin (empty chamber of course) and strike the butt of...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    So you're saying that you would expect some Joe schmoe in the PX to provide better customer service and communications than PVA, who has a storefront and an established reputation?? Having a storefront and being a well-known name in the industry is not an excuse for poor customer service, in...

    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    Whaaaaattt?!?! You mean no adjusting the firing pin protrusion, checking sear engagement, replacing FP springs, and keeping it surgical-grade clean to get it to function?! That's crazy! Lol!

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    "Preorder" should have been correctly labeled as "Beta testing" lolol.

    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    "No news, is good news". No one on here complaining about them, so I would imagine they're all running excellently out there, just like the Atlas Tacticals and other Kelbly actions. I am thinking that my next build will have to be on an Atlas Tactical or Black Bear... they have a great...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    From my readings, I'm not surprised to hear your experience. I would be frustrated as well. Strange that the Nucleus is advertised as being such a reliable and robust design, yet I doubt there has ever been a custom action that was ever as picky when it comes to trigger compatibility, sear...

    Gunsmithing Southern Precision rifles (Bugholes)

    I'll bet it was my post that got you looking in his direction so let me briefly share my experience: I had Greg chamber me a 223 Rem prefit for my TL3. I pestered him with questions prior to purchasing; details on his prefit tolerances, crown options, cerakote questions, pricing, lead times...

    PVA Black Friday Barrel Lead Time

    I'll probably get flamed by the fanboys but... you guys know there is more than 1 gunsmith capable of producing top end barrels and rifle packages right? Do people really justify waiting half a year (OR MORE?!?) for a prefit barrel by telling themselves its a better barrel than the dozens...

    Black Friday deals on premium components?

    SWFA will have a big sale as usual. Big discounts on their line of SS scopes, and usually a site wide 10% and free shipping or something like that. I think last year I got some ARC rings for like $120-130 shipped.

    Alamo Precision Rifles - fantastic precision builders

    I had APR build me a custom about 2 years ago... Fair prices, excellent service and communication, easy to get a hold of on the phone. Jason was always super friendly to talk to and was genuinely pumped to help me spec out the build. Went out of their way to ship my stock to Joe Ducos for...

    Grayboe Stocks from Red Hawk Rifles

    Like others said, RHR is good to go. I bought a grayboe from them like 2 years ago when they were new stocks... RHR was happy to talk with me and answer my questions about the stock.

    Kelbly NYX vs MPA

    I believe the MPA complete rifles can be built on a variety of actions. My buddy had one with the Kelbly's atlas tactical action and I really liked it. If you are considering the MPA rifle with a atlas tactical action, then you should just be asking yourself if you want the MPA chassis or the...

    Dissapointed in Lapua brass.

    Dude the OP got some brass with "less-than-perfect" flash holes. Yes, many of us are surprised because we all use Lapua brass and normally the flash holes look pristine, but this is not something that could be considered any type of safety concern. Let's not blow this out of proportion... OP...
