    Advice Please - Accuracy showed promise but fell apart on custom 7 mm PRC

    Step away from the cleaning rod and shoot some groups. Are the groups below 1”? If yes keep shooting groups. If no try some load development. If it gets worse it may be the barrel. I have a barrel that has quite a bit of copper. It still shoots 0.6moa at 1,000y. I don’t try to remove all the...

    Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

    Came here to post this.

    Preferred barrel blanks - REVIEWS?

    Now that’s not encouraging. I have a few of their Go-No Go sets that I’ve been relying on for years. I guess I’ll be looking up the proper SAAMI dimensions and confirming that they are all correct. To be honest I rarely use the No-Go. I typically use the go and 2 layers of Kapton tape which...

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    The funny part is most people who compete add weight to their rifles.

    That’s an incredibly rare chassis. It’s on my wish list.

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    I’ve never had a gritty Savage action. They are sloppy if you are moving the bolt handle around but when you are on the clock and cycling the bolt quickly for follow-up shots you don’t notice it one bit. All of my Savage rifles are setup for AICS magazines and don’t have any feeding issues. I’ve...

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    How is it close when the action alone is $900?

    And how exactly does this fit into his $1,000 budget for a rifle?

    What should be the next?

    2 years ago I went on vacation to Kentucky and Tennessee. I brought along my precision rifle and I had about 50 rounds of hand loads that were left over from a competition. My home range is only 400M but I shoot regional competitions out to 600M. We went to Dead Zero Shooting Park which is a...

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    My first 6.5CM was a budget build using the Cabela’s / Bass Pro Savage 12FV. I put it in a Black Friday MDT LSS-XL chassis and I was in for under $1,000. You can also use the MDT XRS or KRG Bravo chassis. to keep it under the $1,000 mark. Spend the $30 and get the Savage tactical bolt knob from...

    Continuous scope ring slippage

    That is my go to ring set. I've paid much more for other rings but don't see the point. All a set of rings has to do is hold the scope without moving and not damage it.

    Savage 110 - 6.5 Creedmore

    Do you need a brake or threading for a suppressor? If not the Savage 12FV from Cabelas/Bass Pro can be had for about $400. The stock is absolute junk but you can drop it in a KRG Bravo for $400. Grab an AICS metal magazine for $70 (I like Accurat Mag), a Savage tactical bolt knob for $30, and a...

    Savage 110 Ultralite Elite

    I think you’re right. Not only is it not cheap but it’s also Fugly

    Savage 110 Ultralite Elite

    I’ll give you my opinion as a “Savage” guy. I’m in Canada so the availability of some custom actions is limited. When the CDG was introduced in the USA for $899 it was selling for $1499 Canadian. It is now selling for $1199 in the USA and $1798.50 in Canadia. It is hardly a “budget” action at...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    They are all safe queens for now. Trudeau knows his days are numbered so he is trying to accelerate the "Buyback". They are all registered so they know where they are but I won't give mine up. Hopefully a conservative government will reverse the legislation. Even though the AR-15 is prohibited...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I may send one in to get done over the winter. Both the 6.5 Creedmoors are bolt guns as is the 6BR. One is built on an Ultimatum Precision Gen 2 Deadline action and the other is a Savage 12FV. Both the Ultimatum and the Savage popped primers and the bolt on the Ultimatum has tight clearances...

    A guy who shoots the same matches that I do has one. He’s not willing to part with it. I tried already.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I have a lot of CCI 400's and I'm at less than 2K in BR-4's right now. I tried switching to the 400's in my 6.5 Creedmoor and 6BR and pierced primers in both with loads that I wouldn't consider hot. I may try starting from scratch with the 400's to see if I have better luck. Using the same...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    It's the opposite for me. Last year or the year before I bought 3 jugs of H4350 on the same day with the same lot number. I've been consistently getting around 2758fps using 139gr Lapua Scenars and 140gr Hornady ELD-M with 41.2gr in Lapua brass with BR-4's On Sunday I cracked opn the new jug and...
