    Where to go from here? (Load Dev)

    Been through a few barrels on a 6.5, they were 26 inches but all were in the 41.3 neighborhood with 4350.

    Did MDT drop the ball?

    Seems like the 3.56 metal mags made for a Tikka would work fine. Waters mags from Australia have worked the best for my 7 saum at just under 3.2 OAL.

    Bolt action or AR-10

    I'd get a bolt but it wouldn't be a remington action, caliber would probably a 7mm. Good for anything in north america.

    boresighter selection

    You'd be wrong, more equipment is not more simple or effective. Looking through the bore is the most simple method and very effective. Shooting a a dirt clod on the berm and dialing the correction works well too. :)

    boresighter selection

    I just look through the barrel at a dot at 25 yards, dial scope about an inch under. Reset target to 100 yards, usually zero in 3 shots, then confirm with another three shots at another dot. Done, no fancy tools needed.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith said this about installing a Tikka prefit

    The trick is a mallet to give it a bit of shock, just trying to lever it off doesn't work as well.

    Go To No Frills Scope Rings?

    ARC rings for me, budget rings, seekins.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith said this about installing a Tikka prefit

    I've pulled or helped pull five tikka barrels, a couple took some persuasion with a tap of a mallet. None were terribly difficult, though a couple did get marred a bit, but nothing significant. Between a buddy and myself we've also put on 5 prefits, amazingly they all head spaced correctly...

    Bergara sucks ass, buyer beware.

    This thread is still going, not surprising since Redneck is part of it.

    Shooting Squirrels in the Head at 100 Feet Offhand...Fantasy or Reality?

    I don't know, 50 yard headshots on a squirrel doesn't seem that hard. Used to cut weed stems and knock berries off trees with my benjamin 20 cal off hand at 15 yards all the time when I was growing up. I was shooting stuff off a tree from my apartment that backed up to an open area when my...

    6.5 PRC build and action

    How much heavier? Difference between the NBK vs lone peak Ti is 10.5 oz. So about the weight of a small bottle of water.

    First Precision Bolt Gun: Bergara B14 HMR vs Tikka T3X Lite

    Tikka over the bergara, I have both, but you should get a heavier barrel on the tikka, CTR or varmint. 300 yards get a .223, otherwise the 6.5, more options for good ammo with the 6.5

    Vudoo empty chamber indicator - looking for advice on which one

    I use these on my begara 22 and centerfire rifles, you can use the 22 version in a centerfire but not the other way around. https://www.yow-tech.com/product-page/mag-flag-vudoo-v-22-aics

    7-6.5 PRC

    That would be a Tikka :)

    Fierce Rifles Quality and Accuracy

    It would have to be a killer deal, at the prices listed on their site I could put together a custom action, carbon barrel and stock for less. And I'm sure it would be better, and cheaper.

    Fierce Rifles Quality and Accuracy

    After their demo of the new 7 PRC on an Elk I'd never buy a rifle from the company. Shot the animal at long distance just because they could. Drive down a dirt road, pull over and shoot an elk over 1000 yards to make a video. Didn't make a good shot IMO, needed a followup anyway. Poor ethics
