Replacement for my A3G
You must have not looked real hard, their bottom metal is awesome the only downfall is the proprietary mags. A competent gun smith or CDI can install CDI bottom metal and you can run AI mags in it also. Don't give up on a great rifle...- Bear24

Barrel length for 260 or 6.5x47 Lapua
I have a new 6.5 Creedmoor built on a Defiance Deviant II that I will be picking up friday. I really wanted to run a 20" bbl on it as I am planning to run it suppressed 100% of the time and it will only be used for PRS matches. But my smith, that is a great guy and fellow PRS shooter, talked me...- Bear24

Barrel length for 260 or 6.5x47 Lapua
One thing for sure is you will want 1/8.5 or 1/8 twist, they will both work fine with the 140's and under. Contour is personal preference, go with the heaviest you can sand to hump around I like heavy barrels (MTU) but I also have a great appreciation for the meduim and heavy palma contours...- Bear24

Model 70 and 6x47 Lapua
a small firing pin is an essential part to shooting a cartridge with a small primer. Most good gunsmiths will tell you that the firing pin hole will need to be bushed and a small firing pin installed. It's not that big of a deal to do it right.- Bear24

Brakes question....
If you are going to run a brake on your hunting rifle I suggest using some electronic ear pro (not a bad idea for a non braked rifle ether) all brakes send a pressure wave closer to the shooter so I don't think any of them are really a good option without protection. BEST option is to just...- Bear24

Petition to remove suppressors from NFA
I think this would be an awesome thing and I have signed and passed this along as well. But I would like to get some opinions of people that know more about the suppressor market than I : 1) What would this do to the availability? There would most certainly be an influx of buyers would current...- Bear24

18" to 20" 243 barrel ?
It will work but a cartridge like the 6x47 or 6 dasher would be better at those lengths. It would be a sweet hunting rig with a can ether way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Bear24

Best Precision Model 70 Smith?
Matt Parry at Parry Custom Gun. He is in NW OK and does a fantastic job with all bolt rifles. I have seen several of his mod 70 rifles shoot fantastic at matches and punch little bitty ragged holes on paper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Bear24

One Bullet for .308
178 amax is my choice too, out of my 24" FN it reaches 2730fps and will get out to 1k and still kill medium sized game at 600y- Bear24

Newbie needs guidance
If i was looking for an affordable all around rifle strait out of the box as a "all purpose" rifle I would snatch up a Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 creedmoor. It will do everything and more than a 308 win and Hornady factory match ammo is pretty inexpensive and shoots awesome out to 1000 yards on...- Bear24

McMillian A-5?
I love my A5a that is on my Surgeon. I leave the cheek piece all the way down with a Weibad pad on it so I never have any problems with it coming loose and moving. Mine has the sniper fill so it is pretty heavy but is very stable and balances well with the 26" medium palma barrel + Brake. I'm...- Bear24

6.5 Creed and 140 Hybrids
I am running 42.8 H4350 with a velocity of 2830 fps and I don't have any pressure signs at all. I am on my 7th firing of a lot of 200 pieces of brass and I have only had to toss 4 pieces due to loose primer pockets. I'm pretty sure those were pieces that I used in load development and ran them...- Bear24

6.5 Creed and 140 Hybrids
The hybrids are awesome, it would not be hard to get them shooting in any reasonable chamber for any 6.5 that has the capability of pushing them 2650+ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Bear24

6.5 Creed and 140 Hybrids
Yes, the profile of the Amax and hybrid are very different. I think the Amax is about .050" jammed into my lands with this chamber, like I said they still shoot great but the extra pressure from being jammed causes a drastic increase in felt recoil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Bear24

6.5 Creed and 140 Hybrids
My rifle was chambered with the smith knowing that I was going to shoot 140 hybrids out of AICS mags so it has a shorter throat than most. This is great for shooting the 140 hybrids but if you want to shoot any factory hornady ammo with 140 amax's i would advise against it because it has them...- Bear24

Parry Custom Rifles?
He does great work, I know a lot of guys that shoot rifles built by him and he is building one for me at the moment! Don't let his terrible looks and crooked smile fool you, he knows what he is doing! Just curious, what are you having built?- Bear24

Anyone here shooting a 300win short mag?
If it were me I would go with a 7 SAUM and shoot 180 hunting VLD's or hybrids close to 3000fps. That being said i hunt hogs with my 223 AR and almost all of them drop where they stand with a 77grain smk right behind their ear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Bear24
