    300 PRC update

    What reloading dies are everyone using? How are the Hornady match dies? I usually use the Redding S full length sizer and Forster micrometer benchrest seater. I can't find either commercially but thought I read somewhere that you can special order the redding die. My build will be complete if...

    Spray Painting Rifles

    Did you use the Rust-Oleum matte clear enamel or the Rust-Oleum general purpose matte clear? Would either work?

    Tikka T3 or custom

    Criterion. Basically, the same price point as the Shilen.

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    That's a bit of a wait. I'm at about 9 weeks right now. I'd call before ordering though and double check the wait. PVA's black friday sale may have them busier than usual right now.

    Tikka T3 or custom

    Really just depends how much $$$ you want to spend. The Tikka T3 is a great hunting rifle. It would cost you somewhere around $6-700 if you keep it stock. You'll likely be around at least $1700 for the rifle, if not more, if you go the custom route. Either choice will work great. I went...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I feel ya. Give them a call and see if they can do longer. I was hesitant ordering with them due to past personal experience with wait times, but decided to give them one more shot since they had the best price on shouldered prefits I could find. So far, I'm a couple weeks past the quoted...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I ended up going with 1:9 twist and 26" length. I would have liked a little bit longer, but that's the max length PVA lists on their website. Although thinking about it now, I should have asked if they can do longer.

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I'm building a 300 PRC off my Origin LA as well. Just waiting on the barrel from PVA. I should have it end of next week hopefully and I then I can put it all together.

    Black Friday deals?

    Do you know when it was posted? Definitely want to try and get in on a good triggertech deal this year.

    Patriot valley turn time

    I ordered a prefit shouldered barrel recently. Per their last email it is set to ship this week, which is one week past the 7 week estimate. Hopefully it does. I rolled the dice because they're about $50-$100 cheaper than I've found anywhere else with comparable quality. Not sure if I will...

    Trigger decision help

    Need some trigger decision help. I have a 6.5 CM with a 2 stage Huber set at 1.5# and a 300 PRC build in the works (TL3 and Origin actions). I have 2 barrels for each setup - one for target shooting and one for hunting. My Huber is a little too light for my tastes for hunting. So, I'm trying...

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    No, my phone has been glitching all week. The new version of those pads does look nice though.

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    @Massoud, I waited a whole week and still nothing! ;) OK, I'm a little impatient and that's not totally true. You dropped the minimalist spigot mount which I'm excited about.

    Pick two calibers

    My choice as well.

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    Good to know. It sounds like there are enough ways to add weight to both chassis. Just need to pick one and adjust the weight once I have everything installed.

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    Going back and forth between a Bravo and X-ray for a 300 PRC build. It sounds like with a M24 contour, I may be a little front heavy. I'm small with short arms, so I won't be able to utilize any heavy LOP spacers. Will I have balance issues?
