    Cant Decide between Stiller and Defiance?

    I don't like the M24 because it seems like they tried to lighten a MTU contour and took material away from where it matters most. The Rem varmint, MTU, and palma contours have a 1.25" mating surface with the action as the M24 has a 1.20" mating surface. I feel that part of the bbl needs to be a...

    Cant Decide between Stiller and Defiance?

    Although I suggested the Deviant, you will not be sorry if you go with the stiller. It's splitting hairs between most custom actions, the accuracy will have more to do with the guy that chambers the barrel than which custom action you went with. Good luck with the build! Speaking of build, what...

    Bullet making for more speed and better BC

    No, the BC is a function of mass, diameter, and Drag coefficient. BC= mass/diameter^2 * coefficient of form

    Bullet making for more speed and better BC

    I'm no expert by any means but there are limitations on every caliber of bullets if you take a 140g hybrid and keep the same exact outside dimensions but drop the density down to 120g you have decreased the BC of the bullet. Density has a large effect on the BC as does the dimensions of the...

    Short stroking semi auto .308

    If it works on the 3rd setting put it there and don't worry about it. Ruger doesn't know what works best for your particular rifle and load.

    New shooter, looking for first rifle

    Great choice on glass, that's what I would have recommended. And that's a great piece that you can keep forever. If I were to do it over again I would buy a Savage LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor, Drop it in an XLR element chassis and shoot the bbl out of it before you decide what you really want. I...

    Cant Decide between Stiller and Defiance?

    I would go with the Deviant also, That's what I shoot in PRS matches and local comps and it has been through quite a bit of sand,dust,grit,rain everything you can think of and I haven't had any trouble with it. The integral lug and rail are also a must for me when i'm looking for a custom action.

    Alliant 2000MR

    I haven't done any testing with my 308 but with my surgeon 223 I have had great results. great velocity and great accuracy with a little less than 1fps/degree temp change in velocity. However i will not shoot this load when it is 95*+ as I had a heavy bolt lift a few times but that doesn't...

    Shorty 22-250, 243, or 6x47??

    Mike Lucket here in OK hunts with a 22x47 and he loves it, I value his opinion greatly as he kills more coyotes than most people could dream about. He is also a very skilled gunsmith.

    Benchmark Barrels feedback please

    I don't have one but from what I have seen in accuracy from 3 guys I know that run them on their match rifles they are as good as any other barrel out there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best bang for the buck trigger for Remington 700

    Have a smith rework an old style remmy trigger or go with the Timney 510

    Any reason you never see builds on Winchester Actions?

    You can find FN SPR actions from time to time for around $650 and they don't need any work done to them as far as truing. That's quite a bit cheaper than buying a custom action.

    Which Brake Do You Suggest?

    Blast tamer by centershot rifles is all i use now. 90* ports are better for the shooter and recoil reduction is great. The brake threads on and it tightened/timed with a cross bolt so it is very easily swapped from bbl to bbl. Center Shot Rifles - Products / Sales - Muzzle Brakes

    Any reason you never see builds on Winchester Actions?

    I love my FN! The action is super smooth and I can run it faster than both my Surgeon and Defiance builds. I have threaded the muzzle and run it with a brake/suppressor and had the bold handle replaced by PCR since these pics but you can get the idea.
