    Big game all-rounder

    As far as cartridges go, the 06 is just a generally outdated cartridge design. That doesn’t mean it’s bad and can’t kill shit, but with other stuff out there with just as plentiful factory ammo available, I don’t see why anyone still uses it, other than, “it’s what my grandpa used…” It’s...

    Thread options for a Tikka Superlite .243

    I run into this problem a lot. One option we've used with success is silver soldering a bushing onto the muzzle end and threading that. The muzzle end is turned down just a hair to straighten out the OD and a bushing is turned to match. Really the only "right" way to throw the proper sized...

    Nrl hunter cal and config?

    I've built several NRL Hunter rifles for guys around here, the latest and greatest rigs are running 24-26" sendero profile SS barrels chambered in 25 Creedmoor to shoot the 134 ELD-M, these hit 2850-2900 easily to make power factor. You end up shooting a bullet with the same BC as the 6.5MM 140...

    Who makes the smoothest custom action.

    I’m a terminus whore so I gotta throw the Zeus’s in there. My 30k round Zeus runs like greased lightning. The Bat actions are also super smooth.

    Ti 3 titanium opinions

    I have one in my shop now. It feels like a titanium action, if you’ve ever felt a Fuzion Ti or Defiance Ti you know what I’m talking about. They all have a feel that is unique to titanium. Maybe not as slick as a nice DLC’d SS action but damn close. The one I have right now to rebarrel was ran...

    SOLD Bench Source Case Neck Annealer w/ torch heads - $400 Shipped

    These are the tips I used with it. The “finest” ones I could find and they work great. There are hoses and adapters for these heads to run them off a BBQ tank. These ones screw onto the portable mapp gas / propane tanks.

    No interchangeable bolt heads, you have to buy a new bolt.

    Switch Barrel Build

    Zeus for the win. Easiest barrel swap out there and one of the best actions there is.
