    Preferred barrel blanks (the company)

    Got my 1-7 twist 6br Nucleus prefit. Took 3 pieces of scotch tape on my no-go gauge before it would no go. Checked it on my Archimedes and same. Outside looks great but that’s not confidence inspiring, it’s headed back. And NOT with my action.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith opinion on Titanium vs Steel action

    I’m thinking #2 barrel at 24” with a Nightforce compact will be plum handy.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith opinion on Titanium vs Steel action

    As i sit here waiting the arrival of a Razor Ti to be forwarded to @LongRifles Inc. for a carried a bunch shot little 7mag loaded to sane pressures....I have to wonder if I shouldn’t have gone steel. I have other shit I can burn the barrel out of, and I guess some day I’ll answer my own question...

    New Hunting Rifle ?

    Have several of the eh6, adjustable and non adjustable. Has supplanted the McMillan Edge hunting stocks as my favorite on a hunting rifle. I’d go no bigger than a 2b Bartlein.

    German Sheperd or Malinois?

    The handoff of my straw was just a bit too aggressive for someone’s liking. And she can jump out of the backseat and thru a window before I could say the magic words. It was a self imposed ban. We’ve been working on this issue and as long as we have the same employees that are aware of her we...

    Gutless Silverado??

    The 5.3 isn’t so much a dog as those trucks are geared for fuel economy. Even with the tow package’s deeper gears they suck. Our latest suburban wouldn’t hold 80mph on the highway without constant downshifting and forget putting a load on them.

    German Sheperd or Malinois?

    I voted Mali, I am biased. For the average every day family the GSD is a far better choice. Mali’s have their own special set of needs that TRULY have to be understood and experienced first hand. If you’ve never owned one don’t buy one unless it comes with a gift certificate for training for...

    Advanced Marksmanship Bad habit - vertical in groups?

    For lack of a better term....I’ve seen me have a mini stroke as the trigger breaks and induce all kinds of weird shit. Its like holding a cup of coffee and watching it fall right out of your hand and not being able to do a damn thing. As my carpal tunnel issues have increased so have the “strokes”.

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    From that angle no it doesn’t. Mines in an eh6 with a light Palma chopped to 18” and an LRTSi....and in my mind looks like a monkey Effin a basketball

    Mausingfield M7 rail

    Put together what was supposed to be a mid weight walking around do all rifle on my new M7 action. This new scope rail leaves me wanting the Uber expensive direct mount rings Ted has alluded to in the past. X-low M10’s still has the scope AR effing high. Anyone seen or know of anyone thinking...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    @karagias PLEASE make a set of aluminum direct mount rings for the Mausingfield. The new rail setup places the scope REDICULOUSLY high. X-low M10 ring mounts and I could drive a truck underneath the scope bell. Could probably run a 56mm objective. A svelte little hunting rifle as this build was...

    Light Hunting PRC. Action and Smith suggestions?

    I went 24” proof TL3 prefit and Manners mini chassis. Pretty handy. Could lose a pound going without mini chassis. There’s going to be nothing light about a Revelation. And yes have one of those too. They need to come up with the Fig Leaf if you want ultra light micarta. Just enough to cover...

    Rifle Scopes NF NXS 2.5-10x24

    I have 42,24, and 32 and prefer them in that order. I buy every mil/mil 24 I can find within reason. No problems with eyebox or light.

    Custom Bolt Action Build at Home?

    I have several builds at home I’ve done myself on Bighorn and ARC actions; shouldered, Barloc, and Savage style nut. Some in mini chassis, some I’ve bedded myself. I don’t have a single one that doesn’t shoot right with my LRI builds. Don’t get me wrong, I still see the value of a good smith...

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5x47 for elk?

    I dropped a majorly pissed off Angus cow on the rampage with a 7wsm and winny silvertip so I cant imagine a 6.5 not doing the job.
