The same precision machining applies. The actions are held to a tight enough tolerance to where the gunsmith doesn't need to measure each one. The only real difference I'm aware of is they can time the natural curvature of the bore to the action if they have it in hand. Don't think that matters...
6.5x47 lapua is my next barrel. Do you guys prefer varget or h4350 for most loads? I use varget in other cartridges so I'd like to use it. Was looking at shooting the 123 scenar and 140 hybrid. Might just shoot the 130 berger at all distances.
What's the tallest you guys like to run your bipods? My problem is the targets at my range are at a bit of an incline and with a 6-9" harris and a compromise bag my muzzle is still pointing too low.
Friend is looking for a t3x ctr stainless 24" barrel 308. Can't find a 24" anywhere. Anyone know if they even import this? If 20" is the only option, who's the best retailer to buy from?
I am looking to order a new stock from McMillan and was set on the A5. I'm currently using an A3-5 but I didn't order it with some options I'd like now so I'm going for a new model. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the butthook but figured it wasn't a huge deal either way so I...
Yep that's basically what I was thinking. I don't need to do it in the field so I could just use my viper barrel vise on the bench and use the rear action wrench.
For guys that use your rifle as a switch barrel, do you ever remove the barrel while leaving the action in the stock? You'd have to obviously use the barrel vise further up on the barrel but that still seems like a better way to do it than using a wrench all the way out at the muzzle.
Thanks for the tip. Randall happens to be local to me and I didn't think there were any decent smiths here. I might have to have him bed a stock for me.
The origin isn't integral lug but it is pinned. I think I'm just going to make it a dedicated rifle. My current rifle is 223 and I like it so much I want to have it always setup.
Looking to possibly have some work done on my rifle which would include a different stock and having it bedded. While the rifle is at the smith I was going to have him chamber me another barrel in a different caliber as well. The rifle is an origin action so I could use it like a switch barrel...
I'm kind of in the same boat for my next build. I currently have an origin. I've looked at everything on the market and keep coming back to the origin.
