    80% lower 7.62 knights sr-25 upper?

    Genesis makes a kac compatible 80 %, never milled one- there was a while they had good reviews and a while they didn't, proceed with caution or just default to a dpms compatible 80% like everyone else...

    Tikka action in AX chassis

    They made a couple but not many, they made savage chassis longer than tikka chassis and you dont see many of those either. Roedale Preciosion also made a tikka compatible clone chassis if I remember correctly.

    Savage MKII FV SR

    @cro789 Look up @Topstrap responses on how well savages respond to a setback of the existing barrel. If you are adamant that you want to switch horses to a Ruger or a T1x, I would go T1x every time price difference vs potential is a no brainer.

    Tikka action in AX chassis

    Never tell a machinist /engineer/tinkerer/ inventor/ or handyman something can not be done, the world of full of things made by people who did not know they couldn't. I once made a AI-ish metal chassis from scratch for a 308 '98 mauser seen here next to the real thing. The ghetto version was...

    I need opinions.

    Locktimes are typically measured in milliseconds, the slower the locktime the longer from the time a trigger is pulled to when a projectile can begin traveling in the barrel ie more follow through required and more opportunities to pull shot off intended impact location. Mausers and ar-15's...

    Gunsmithing M70 How To !

    If 5 round AE mags work ok for you the oal is longer on them than a aics w/binder plate. PTG makes a drop in bottom metal that works with the AE MK 1 mag for stocks inletted for factory bottom metal. If you need greater than 5 rounds the CDI with aics mags w/o binder plates and with reciever...

    Tikka T1X

    I have trimmed the head of the shcs to a minimum hex that would work on a low torque situation to minimize what I cut into on the triggergaurd of the krg-the mpa and tac1 chassis one piece designs are not as problematic and you can run an end mill a little deeper without concern if you so...

    Tikka T1X

    @TimResin If you are handy, you could probably modify the existing inlet. Modifying the inlet would be much like what I had to do on these chassis stocks. In my opinion you wont regret an upgrade.

    CZ 457

    Current prices off website (retail) Ms-t 445, ms-ta 595, MST2 515 MST2a 655 MST4 515, MST4a 655 Seems "about $150" to me not sure on your point, as tacking on $150 to something with a msrp of $1144 isnt wise considering its competition above and below. Again if not having it is a...

    I need opinions.

    @BigRed308 Cz , tikka, vudoo- none are bad options but I would echo A-rob on consider a tikka if going the "cheaper than vudoo" route. Is this a buy once/cry once purchase that is your only shot to get it right or will you have flexibility on aquiring other gear in the future?

    CZ 457

    Joe Ducos aka stockdoc will make some cash from this no doubt but it is hard to fault the manufacturer from keeping the price point down. An adjustable model is about $150 more than a manners w/o terry cross's excellent hardware and CZ sold lots of 455 vpt's without them, so why should they add...

    PRS Talk .223 As a starter PRS gun a waste?

    To bad .224 valk has a 6.8 boldface, 22 nosler though would work to get the same case capacity as a 223 ai with tons more cost and drama @Kadams1563 a tactical class win is analogous to a win in Limited10 in USPSA, cool for a trophy if you need to stroke your ego but wont "win" you much else...

    PRS Talk .223 As a starter PRS gun a waste?

    @Kadams1563 OP started discussion with wanting to use his existing action he currently owns. Exactly how will OP be able to use his existing bare Stiller in Production class?

    PRS Talk .223 As a starter PRS gun a waste?

    @munsonbw ,Then go 223 ackley improved you will still have disposable priced brass with a little more in the boiler room as far as slinging 88 eld/90 berger/95 smk's fast enough to take advantage of the bc of the bullets plus you wont inadvertently stick your 60ksi plus bolt gun reloads in your...

    PRS Talk .223 As a starter PRS gun a waste?

    Reading is fundamental, OP mentioned f/tr in his 1st post as a possible use of said stiller.

    PRS Talk .223 As a starter PRS gun a waste?

    If ftr is in the cards, a brake is a no go for those events so at least go with a brake that is easy to take off, if you decide F/TR isn't that important (ie you could shoot fclass in fopen) I would make my chamber say 223 AI on the side of it with a barrel long enough to get everything I could...

    CZ 457

    @BlackFenix , your confusing ballistic efficiency for "better" Even if I was a scope only (disregaurding sight radius for irons) shooter all my "serious" match 22's would have barrels over 26", 2 reasons 1. Balance 2. Quality tubes of a longer length tend to have smaller ES in velocity On a...

    Sterk bolt and t1x

    @cannoncrossfire I started to answer the OP a couple of days ago concerning the compatibility of bolt knobs and suggest that he unscrew the bolt handle off his T1x and compare it to his T3's he already has or compare it to the picture below and think through if it would work on his own while...

    CZ 457 MTR vs T1x vs CZ 457 tacticool or AT1

    I thought I wanted a Ruger precision rimfire till I shot a buddies and wasn't particularly impressed (more the bolt manipulation and plastic chassis than accurcy). I own a t1x I put in a krg bravo(modified) and love it. While a CZ 457 is the new hot thing from CZ dont discount 452 or 455...
