    My First Real Bolt-Action / Shorty!

    Re: My First Real Bolt-Action / Shorty! I should add that most of the time the bipod has been used it was positioned on a rock or stump while I was in the standing, sitting, or kneeling positions. It keeps $500-$700 stocks from getting all scratched up. I also carry a set of wooden shooting...

    What's Your Recipe for Tac Competition Bolt Gun?

    Re: What's Your Recipe for Tac Competition Bolt Gun? You sound like you're on the right track, but the stocks are like women you really need to try before you buy. I spent years drooling over AICS chassis and Manners MCS T5's. I got to shoot a friend's AICS and hated it. I thought the T5...

    .280rem build?

    Re: .280rem build? My next build is going to be a .280 as well. Uses will be long range hunting (deer, bear, hogs) as well as targets. I want something with a bit more punch at extended distance, so I'm thinking 180 VLD hunting pills at 2800 fps. That would give 1000+ f/lbs at 1000 yards...

    First groups from my new 700AAC-SD

    Re: First groups from my new 700AAC-SD You should always check your stock for runout. To do this, place your barrel in a vice equipped with soft jaws, with the bottom up. Place a dial indicator with a magnetic base on the barrel and the dial needle on the stock. Loosen the front stock screw...

    twist rate for .260 140gr AE

    Re: twist rate for .260 140gr AE My 260 barrel is 22" from the front of the lug, or 23" total. I'm getting 2785 FPS with 140 VLD's and RL22. I'm .6 grains under book max, and gained about 75 FPS as my barrel broke in. My buddy is getting 2675 FPS with a 20" barrel, 140's and RL17.... Both...

    Putting together my first 700, need stock/dbm help

    Re: Putting together my first 700, need stock/dbm help If it were my build, I'd go McMillan M40A1 / HTG, marbled in your favorite colors, inletted for M5 DBM, PT&G stealth and call it a day! The B&C is nice for a budget build, but in no way a comparison to McMillan or Manners. I'm not a fan...

    H4350 vs. RL22 for 260 and 140's

    Re: H4350 vs. RL 22 for 260 and 140's Remington brass, once fired, neck sized. I'm far from case capacity, I might (will) obtain better velocities, but not so sure about accuracy improvement. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ladder up from 42.5 grains in .3 grain increments...
