    Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

    That load is with max of IMR4451. I would not try for more for sure. Mine has a .170 throat and I am right at 2.8" oal. Whats safe in mine may not be safe in others. And its been about 3 years since I chronographed it so it may be more like 2650. Archery hunting rest of this fall but will try...

    Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

    6.5x47, basically 6.5 Creedmoor, 140 grain vld doing about 2700 out of a 18" barrel. Bull elk at 400 yards. Bartlein 2B barrel, Mcmillan edge classic stock. People tend to be overgunned and underpracticed.

    American Rifle Company Black Friday and Cyber Week Sale

    I ordered a full price Nucleus earlier in 2021. I am really enjoying it and wished I had started using them years ago. Phone and email contacts were very professional and I think they are a great company. Those sale prices were so good that I am sure the demand simply exceeded the supply. I'd...

    TriggerTech Failures? Hang fires?

    Sure the bad press of their recalls must have shown them the light. I'll stick with Timneys from now on.

    I've shot 147s in an 8 twist with no issues.

    Tikka vs. Origin

    Finally stopped fixing up 700s and bought a Nucleus this year. If the Origin is similar it will be an easy decision to take either one of them. Since I started by going the Nucleus route, may stay with it. Like it a lot so far.

    ARC Nucleus

    I only have one, but love it. 6/45 with Hawk Hill #2 7.5 twist. Pic is 3 shots at 300 yards with 95 vld. 2.53 OAL on the 95. I could see a 6.5x47 on one someday.

    lightweight / robust rings

    ARC M10 rings nice as well. And low is pretty low.

    Remington 700 Trigger Recommendations - Hunting

    Trigger Tech has had several recalls due to the amount of failures they were having. Funny some will slam Remington 700 factory triggers when TT has had same kind of issues. Glad your's are working out. My Timneys are doing great for me.

    Remington 700 Trigger Recommendations - Hunting

    Erniethegunsmithdotcom has some excellent springs for Remington 700 triggers. Remove a screw, pull the factory spring, replace with Ernie's spring and got a great trigger feel. Total cost around $10. After having a Trigger Tech Special go down, I have used a few Timney's with good success...

    Backpack Brands

    We've been using Kifaru for 20 years now. Kids have tried Stone Glacier and others. But they both came back to Kifaru packs. We've had great luck with the Kifaru Gun Bearers as well. In the end, packs are a lot like boots. What works great for some, may not so much for others. I'd try to stay...

    Build Suggestions

    Personally, having to pay to open the bolt face, swap extractors, buy a rail, replace or grind the recoil lug, and possibly coat it, I'd buy an ARC Nucleus for $999. If building a 30-06 or 280AI, it would make more sense to me.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Walmart 700 dropped in a wood ADL stock without bedding. Factory trigger. Chopped from 24-16.5, lost 200 fps on factory Hornady 55 SP ammo. Lost about 3" or so at 300 yards. Still shoots good. Pic of 300 yard group yesterday.

    WTS Nightforce NXS 2.5-10X42 C461.

    After 2 years, I hope he got it.

    16” 6.5 Creedmoor

    Since you are suppressing it, I'd think 16.5" would be great.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    If not suppressed, I'd probably stop at 20".
