    Bedding question

    Mine becomes pretty noticeable at 300+ yards (it is a 7mm RM) when I will double group with two inches between groups if I try more than 3 rounds. Fortunately, since it is a hunting rifle I (hopefully) only need one shot. Not that I've killed a lot with it, but it has gone 3 for 3 for me (170...

    Bedding question

    While I'm always a fan of bedding myself, could it be the stress induced by Outlier's rifling process (or a lack of stress relief)? I guess we'll find out if you bed it again and continue to get the same results. I've got a factory Bergara Premier that does that like clockwork, but takes three...

    Groups are to small

    I'm assuming the OP fired 80 rounds in a session with a built-for-hunting 22CM, and probably in some sort of hot environment with a moderate pace. The barrel's throat loves him. Barrels are consumables, I'm not completely ignorant to that fact. However we learned that pretty quickly the OP...

    How to UNsubscribe from Solicitations I get via PM

    Something about their site, their rules. I have no problem with that since I contribute nothing here. Seriously, it takes 10 seconds to click on and click out of.

    Active Shooter at Fort Stewart

    Thankful that he sucked and everyone is alive. And yes, this dude needs shot by a firing squad in the middle of the base on a Friday, and everyone gets off early to be able to witness.

    Elk Hunting Rifles, What are you Using?

    Whenever you're ready to upgrade that old thing, I know a guy who does great work... :ROFLMAO:

    Active Shooter at Fort Stewart

    Well... I didn't. ;) I've had the random check before. Never did anyone ever get wanded. Run the dog through my truck all you want, gun is on ne. I share your frustration. I just ignore the B.S.

    Active Shooter at Fort Stewart

    ^ I've been retired 7 years, and we (multiple senior SNCOs) carried on base regularly when I was in. We just didn't tell anyone about it. ;) Would be nice to have it legal though.

    Ideas for Repurposing a 300 PRC

    If F-Class is really something hes looking into, you'll probably want to look at the 7-6.5 PRC. Only real swap to get going is the barrel. Otherwise, perhaps something in a lighter hunting-type build might be his thing. Any magnum cartridge is a possibility, but if he has good and reliable...

    Review Walther PDP Pro 5" Polymer

    I've actually been looking at the PDP Pro X for a few days now. My hands work best with the M&P and the large (coke bottle) backstraps. I am hoping to get to hold a PDP pretty soon.

    Not sure how to “sight in” my glock

    @Thema4 This is the Bear Pit, where we come to talk crap to one another. If you want to get a higher ratio of solid answers, go to "The Armory", which is the first sub-forum on the main list and ask there. Here, everything requires thick skin.

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    My favorite are the veterans who want a discount... bonus if they inform me that they are VA disabled. Extra bonus if they inform me that they protected me when I start to chuckle.

    FN SPR A5M XP?

    $2,500 is way high. I'm with you on $1,800 if NIB and he can keep the scope. Those barrels are going to last a while, but any gunsmith who works on Win 70s can do one for you. It requires no voodoo.

    Retro-ish build parts list comments?

    I genuinely didn't know Birkenstocks were still around. Nobody around here wears them due to the nature of what happens when you accidentally step in a giant cow flop with sandals. See... I learned something from this thread.

    Maggie’s When someone says "thank you for your service" what crosses your mind.

    You aren't alone man. It bothers me to be thanked. I hate it. Wanting to be, posing to be, or even thinking about trying to be some sort of inspiration or guardian of the people was never on my mind. I never daydreamed about being able to wear my service-connected ball cap to the buffet so I...

    LAPUA TRX .264 6.5MM 120GR

    Gavin shilled again and shot gel at knife-throwing distance (again). It is getting to the point where there are more Youtube comments about why he isn't shooting gel at actual hunting distances in his bullet reviews than anything else. It will eventually come back to bite him as more people...

    Avoiding Pickpockets in Europe?

    Italy was one of the worst experiences for me as well. Everyone wanted to 'help' you do the most basic thing... then they all held out their hand and stated that they "worked for tips". The history was cool, but the culture didn't allow the juice to be worth the squeeze. I'm sure we have...

    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    I wanted to reply with the fact that I only needed .002" of thickness (since this was a tape thread, and the joke went over someone's head), but that would only dig myself deeper. Out of frustration I got up to make myself a sandwich, tripped over my dick (again), and skinned my knee on the...

    Member Link Up Any Air Force Academy Grads Out There?

    My nephew got into West Point. As a white male, he was able to get in with a letter of recommendation from his Congressional Representative. Fortunately, my brother married a smart woman who had a pretty good .gov job and new the route to go. My nephew has done well so far in his career. As...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Everything is going to be on an 'individual' basis. I've had examples of barrels that loved/hated certain bullets or powders. Usually with those the other variable played significantly less of a role in consistency/accuracy. The only exception is that through (3) 6.5 barrels now, I can't get...
