    Stock for Sako Quad build

    Re: Stock for Sako Quad build I have a Manners stock (T4) on order. I am going to use a IOR 2.5-10X42 on the rifle. Do I need an adjustable cheekpeice? (I would like to avoid spending the money if possible)

    AI or custom build

    If you were building a .338 would what would you do between a custom build and an Accuracy Int. rifle and why? It seems like the AI rifle costs more, is standard production and wouldn't be as easily converted to .375/408 later if you wanted to.

    .338 or .375/408 build questions

    I would like to build a ELR rifle. I understand that their are a lot of actions you can build a .338 Lap Mag with. I think it is more limited for the .375/408. What would be the best action to use for building each of these calibers and why? Is it possible to build a .375/408 repeater, or...

    Range estimation error .338 Lapua vs. .375 Chey

    I know that the flatter a cartridge shoots the more room for range estimation error you have without it killing you. (think .223 vs .44 mag at 200 yards) I know that you still try to range as precisely as you can. But, how much additional "fudge factor" do you get with a .375 over a .338 at...

    .375 cheytac vs 338 lapua

    I know there is a big difference between these cartridges as far as range goes. I want to build a ELR rifle and am trying to decide. On average, how much of a difference is there in weight for the rifle itself between these? Can they be built to similar weights, or is it like a .50 and they...

    Neck turning worth it?

    Re: Neck turning worth it? I am shooting a GA Precision Rock. What I have gathered from a few of my threads is that my Chrono was probably to close to my gun. I also quit using my RCBS Chargemaster and started handweighing the charges. I will go chrono again and go from there. thanks...

    McMillan HTG or HTG adjustable?

    I am building a 700 in .30-06. I will use it about 50% hunting and 50% on the 1000 yard line. (I mainly shoot my .308 at 1K) I am using a scope with a 42mm objective. Is the HTG going to work for this rifle or is there a reason I would need the HTG? (On a side note, my .308 is an A5 without...

    Detachable Box Magazine?

    I have a Rem 700 ADL in .30-06 and am getting a McMillian Stock for it. I am thinking of putting a DBM in it. I have heard some of the systems rock and some are spotty. Who makes the best and what should I be looking for?

    Long action for .338?

    Re: Long action for .338? Yes. It is a long action 700. So the .338 Lapua takes the same length action? How much would it cost to have the face opened up?

    Long action for .338?

    I have a .30-06 with mcmillan stock etc. What would it take to change it to a .338 lapua? I have tried to find out if they take the same length action but couldn't. I know the bolt face would be different.

    Weighing brass into groups worth it?

    I have had some problems with large SD's and have moved to weighing each charge on a balance beam scale. I have a friend who swears that i have to start weighing my brass and separating it into lots of 1 grain differences and tracking them that way? Does it make a big difference in practical...

    Neck turning worth it?

    I have had some problems with large SD's and have moved to weighing each charge on a balance beam scale. I have a friend who swears that i have to start neck turning. Does it make a big difference in practical (1000 yard vs. benchrest) accuracy?

    Scope for .375 Cheytac

    What do you need in a scope for shooting at extreme ranges with a round like this? How much adjustment, magnifacation etc? Would the Premier 5-25 do it, or should I be looking at something else?

    Re: Stock for Sako Quad build Are there any other stocks that fit a Sako Quad that are stiff enough to shoot slung up but sized more for a .22?

    Stock for Sako Quad build

    Re: Stock for Sako Quad build If I order an A5 for this rifle is the stock the exact same dimensions as an A5 for a regular rifle, or do they scale it down for a .22? It seems like it would leave a huge amount of material between the action and the sides of the stock since not as much...
