    What Action ?

    You won't go wrong w/ BigHorn/Origin by Zermatt, Defiance (any flavor Tenacity, Ruckus or Deviant), Impact, Lone Peak, Curtis and Terminus. On a more budget option you could get a cheap Tikka rifle and send to a gunsmith to be re-barreled (use as a donor action). I would personally stay away...

    Rifle Scopes U.S. optics warranty

    Their optics may have had issues through the years and their service had been slow with all the moving, from Cali to Montana and from there to N. Carolina. Having said that they have always taken care of whatever issue I may have had and have gone above and beyond. So that I'd say their...

    Bergara b14 hmr ---DEFIANCE

    Not sure I understand. Will a Defiance action drop on the Bergara stock? Probably but I wouldn't be surprised if you have to cut a relieve for the bolt handle and ejection ports (they are bigger in the Defiance Deviant actions). Otherwise, quality wise, you cannot even begin to compare a...

    Proof 223 Reamer

    Any one knows the details of the 223 Remington chamber/reamer used in Proof prefits? Lead and throat? Looking to send 80 -88 grainers. My friend contacted Proof and was told that they could not give that information WTF, why would they not ? It makes no sense. Thx

    Who Manufactures the Bergara Premium Actions

    My main issue is not necessarily with the extractor but rather very weak ejection and many, many light fire pin strikes. Replaced the spring for the extractor w/ a different one (had to do some finagling) to make it fit and got it working kinda ok. Also the firing pin issue, it hates CCI...

    Bergara or tikka

    I have both, a Bergara LRP and a Tikka T3. Both have been rebarreled w/Bartlein 6.5Cr. Both sit on chassis. Both ridiculously accurate, but that's the barrel. Never had a feeding, firing or ejection issue w/ the Tikka... easy, to me Tikka every single time, particularly if shooting matches...

    Yes. 6.5 Creedmoor and 6 Creedmoor are the same case with different neck (one 6.5 mm and the other 6 mm) They take a standard .308 bolt face

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    In my case I don't think the problem is the bullet but rather the barrel... I'm seriously thinking on picking up a Bartlein 223 barrel and ditching this Criterion.

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    Interesting, I have 3 other Criterions in 6 mm calibers and they’re lasers. Not sure if a bad lot or something

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    Just to revive this thread... just got a Criterion Rem/age chambered in 223 match. Put it in a trued Remington action (Manners stock, Triggertech special trigger, Vortex PST gen2 scope... nothing fancy but serviceable stuff). First few rounds while zeroing couldn’t get the rifle to shoot sub...

    Gas block?

    Any advantage to run a piston kit instead of traditional gas? I figured it would be cleaner but may affect accuracy and recoil... any ideas?

    AR15 Accuracy issues

    Already sent it. They said they’ll check it whatever that means I expect a new barrel back but who knows
