    Have a .308, want to push to 1400 yards - go to 6.5cm?

    I agree with the preceding post reply, I have FN SPR I will never re-barrel until it is time. In the meantime I purchased another FN reciever and had a Bart Marksmen in 7 SAW done up by WTO, Tit for Tat with the 6.5CM with better barrel life and a little more authority down range!. If you buy...

    What is the verdict on the current T5Xi Steiner scopes?, have all the bugs been worked out? I'm trying to decide on a new scope for a new build just completed. Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Bedding Wax Removal

    So I split the difference , the reciever/barrel went into Dawn and scalding hot water this also removed some bedding material I did'nt account for ( my bad) and the floorplate and mag well were pretty tough so the brake cleaner finished the project, I'lljust have to skip a few Beers! Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Bedding Wax Removal

    My liver gets enough abuse as it is!, and I'm thinking the hot water will also help release the modeling clay stuck in the cravases.

    It would seem that JesseB81 is somewhat less temp stable than the powder being tested!

    Gunsmithing DIY stock and barrel camo options

    I just got my build back from WTO and cannot be more pleased with it!, the Bead blasted stainless Bartlein Marksman is perfect!. I would not dream of srewing it up with any color at all. The A-3G stock is a standard OD and begs for a color scheme and pattern that compliments the stainless...

    Gunsmithing Any benefit to a flat bottomed action versus a curved?

    Stock /Chassis options are more plentifull for rounds vs flats and that is the real concern for most shooters, for me flat is where it's at!. AI must think so also otherwise they would go round and gain more market share amongst options from various vendors of shooting hardware! JMHO!
