    ORIGIN Orders

    Yes. And you don't need to worry about the recoil lug alignment since the Origin has a pinned one. I just keep the over the action wrench with the NSS aligning fixture bc I have an R700 with no pinned lug.

    ORIGIN Orders

    The scope base is screwed and pinned on. The screws come out easily enough. They are also not the same length so make sure you know which one is which. As for the pinning, it is a tight fit. I used a rubber mallet with a piece of wood. A gentle tap and it dislodged.

    I'm looking for a carbon fiber .308 Winchester proof research barrel or certificate for one. If it's the barrel it must be a Savage prefit.

    Anyone use a Redding T7 turret press so they don't have to keep changing dies?

    Why not use the Dillon 650 you have but get caliber changes? A while back I was in a similar position. 9mm on the 650, and everything else on a single stage. I decided to try to move to reloading the 6.5 creedmoor on the 650 and I really enjoy it. The only hassle is that H4350 can't meter...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    There's a discussion going on in the other thread about how the Bighorn Origin has had an understandable stacking tolerance issue with the fact that it has a non-integral recoil lug. Now that the Mausingfield is moving to a similar setup, will prefit shouldered barrels that are min. SAAMI spec...

    ORIGIN Orders

    Bah gawd. That's how you do customer service. Also, this raises interesting questions about the new Mausingfield now that it's going to be having a non-integral recoil lug...

    Gunsmithing Keystone Accuracy No Longer Making Prefit Barrels for the Bighorn Origin

    Unsurprising. Bighorn never made the claim, I believe, for interchangeable headspacing. And with a non-integral recoil lug it's another opportunity to stack tolerances.

    Les Baer is out of the Rifle business.

    If I remember, a lot of Les Baer rifles were long barreled, straight contour and designed for NRA High power and XTC competitions. It's a pretty niche market, there, and so I'm not surprised that they weren't finding it profitable. It'd be interesting to see what the average length of an...

    why did ARC suspend Barloc sales?

    For what it's worth, at least with the Switchlug, they are pretty open about their POI shift. " We tested point-of-impact repeatability by shooting 5 shot or larger groups at 100 yards, and removing and re-torqueing the barrel between every single shot. POI repeatability has proven to...

    SOLD 22 Creedmoor Prefit - Savage Small/Standard

    To headspace it, do you just use 6.5 creedmoor go/nogo gauges?
