    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    If no replies, I have seen a very consistent 25-30 fps per inch off of 24" lengths. The 18" rigs simply get carried and used more for me when suppressed. Have a 23" suppressed 6.5-284 which ends up at 29". I found it unwieldy in cover and have since capped it and will shoot it unsuppressed.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    18" Rem 700 30-06, 155 Scenar, around 2800 fps at an accuracy node, bull elk at 400 yards shot by my daughter. The lopped off barrel was very close in weight to the suppressor. Highly recommend.

    Light recoiling round

    Going with an 8 pound 6x45 shooting 95s at 2500 ish. Should be pleasant.

    22CM build

    I never was a Tikka fan and just bought a Nucleus that is in route. That said, I also have to buy bottom metal, trigger, and magazines. I think the gap is way bigger than $200. If you like Tikkas, be hard to pass that up. In my case I needed lefthand, 223 bolt face so it was easy decision to go...

    Pick a Stock for Hunting Rifle

    Never had anything get stuck. And I can take any string or cloth and using a sawing motion clean it out if I ever do.

    Pick a Stock for Hunting Rifle

    Interesting point re barrel channel. I started ordering stocks with 2 to 3 larger barrel channels than I planned on. I prefer the larger float and see zero downside to additional space.

    Recommend Me a Drop In Rem. 700 Trigger.

    I had a TT Special stop resetting after about 30 rounds. Have a TT Primary that seems good. I'll be looking at a Timney for my next one.

    Blemish on new LaRue 7.62 lower receiver.

    So if that is what they are most likely going to say, I'd trip it and move on. Or bang your head, raise your blood pressure, and then sell it and move on. Either way doesn't seem like Larue was real good about this. I just cut my losses earlier these days.

    Blemish on new LaRue 7.62 lower receiver.

    No better time to sell it then now. Trip it and buy from another place.

    Blemish on new LaRue 7.62 lower receiver.

    Wouldn't bother me a bit, actually had to look a few times to notice. The older you get the less that stuff bothers you I guess.

    I F'n despise Leofoto and other Chinese knockoff specialists

    I found it interesting that the Chinese army has 2 million Chinese spies across American industry, colleges, and government. Keep buying Chinese products and we all keep funding this attack. Its not going to end well...
