    Savage Stealth Evolution problems

    So, typically I take everything that I can apart, clean it and apply applicable threadlockers/antiseize and retorque it all to be sure. My 10fcp-sr rail was maybe hand tight or a bit tighter.

    300 WM rifle choices

    I've shot a few big calibers with the M11 Severe Duty brake and other than being loud as hell it does a great job for recoil

    Has anyone any Stories about firing a Barrett ?

    I used to work security at a site here in the US and we had several 50 cal Barretts that were used in case we needed to stop a vehicle. Our training tower was covered in sheet metal and steel plates. We wore ear plugs under our ear muffs and that shit would still rattle your teeth every shot...

    300 WM rifle choices

    And they use magpul LA mags... well damnit my wallet is already crying. 6months or so I'll be looking at one of those, or a HMR Pro if they decide to make em in 300wm. That fit all my prior criteria too.

    300 WM rifle choices

    Well damn, that's sweet, I wonder where all the details are on it because I can't even find a picture. I found a few obscure posts here and there. If they make the HMR Pro in 300wm I will have to find the money somewhere. The HMR is temping enough.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for opinions for FFP under $1500 for 6.5cm

    I'm adding the SWFA 5-20x50 and Athlon Cronus to the list now... I am a fan of reticles that have fine center points, so that part is hard to gauge online. Not too concerned how busy a reticle is as long as I can get a fine crisp aiming point. Illumination is also not very important to me as...

    300 WM rifle choices

    A friend has the SHV 4-14 with Mil R reticle and it seems pretty awesome for the price. I've always been a Vortex guy since my first crap diamomdback, now I've got 2 Viper PST ffps and a few other oddballs. got some lower grade Leopolds but I've never owned a Nightforce. I'll look at sigs...

    Tikka CTR -- anyone keep the original stock?

    I put my 6.5 CM CTR in a bravo chassis, only reason I did so is for magazine commonality and ease of adjustment. I'm 6ft 4 and the factory stock was not comfortable to me. Doesn't hurt that it also improved my groups by about a quarter inch.

    300 WM rifle choices

    I haven't seen an HMR in a long action, I know they have some woodsman and B14 rifles in 300 WM tho. For now I'm trying to pick an optic for the MPR I put a deposit on.

    300 WM rifle choices

    Well gents I just put my deposit down on a 26 inch 6.5 creedmoor MPR. Figured I'd use it for this year and see what it's capable of. Opinions on optics? Spent a bit more than I'd planned for rifle so optic budget atm is 1200ish. Was eying the Nightforce SHV ffp scopes, or another viper pst...

    300 WM rifle choices

    As it stands, I'm leaning in favor of the MPR 26 or 24 inch in 6.5 creedmoor for now. Seems like the 143 gr ELD rounds are more than capable on paper and living targets at some long ranges. I'll start with a Gen 2 5R in 300WM and see where it leads probably later this summer. I see bad...

    300 WM rifle choices

    DP425 - Very interesting system on that nucleus. Right now it seems that the Christensen MPR has my attention. I've discarded the Ruger and base Remington all together. I'll call today if I'm not getting slammed at work about the MPR. I may just get the 6.5 Creedmoor for now, as I've...

    300 WM rifle choices

    Well... guess I'll call. It appears that the 6.5 in a 26 In might do what I need, especially being that light weight. However now I'm torn between the 26 inch 6.5 or waiting for the 300wm to come out.
  15. Alexander Cain

    300 WM rifle choices

    Well Jesus, didn't know they had the action and chassis sets, but yeah I saw some of those reviews... those look appealing too. After seeing weight on that Christensen if I could find a 6.5 in 26 inch I may just get that. Or shop around on Euro optic and mile high to see what they can offer...

    300 WM rifle choices

    Well the MPR definitely hits all the categories I'd like. And it's a sweet looking rifle. I'll email around on prices for that. As for why 300 WM? Because I want a round that really puts energy on target at distance and I'm hoping to stretch it out more. I have a DPMS G2 I'm waiting to put...

    300 WM rifle choices

    I'm in the market for a 300 WM rifle currently. I've got several short actions: Remington 700 SPS in a KRG chassis, viper pst Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 creedmoor with a bushnell elite and a KRG Bravo Chassis (tack driver) Savage 10FCP-sr in 308 factory setup I've never owned a long action anything...

    Remington 308 build (a few question(s))

    Found some photos of the M24 Stock with AICs magazines. Can't find the owner though. If anyone knows who did the work i'd love to know.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Picture Thread

    Here is my Springfield MC Operator. Picked it up used a few months back in MINT condition, didn't even look fired. So far ~350 rounds of various ammo from tula to aquila, even low recoil hollow points. No issues. Very accurate, shoots better than anything I've shot before.
