    I got a 10.5 pistol two years ago with the intention of making it my truck gun, but it hasn't made it there yet. :o. A Glock is always on me tho.

    WOA barrels, any recent reviews?

    I just bought a WOA barrel from Brownells - 18" SPR. Still breaking it in and doing load development, but I have high hopes. They have a solid reputation.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Rifle Scopes Shout Out to Athlon Customer Service

    Dittos. Their customer service is top notch. They replaced a scope that I accidentally damaged. I had hoped they could repair it at my expense (dented objective housing), but they sent a new one right out. Midas Tac 6-24. I've since bought the Ares ETR and will be buying another soon for...

    Anyone use a Redding T7 turret press so they don't have to keep changing dies?

    I love my T7 and leave it setup with .223 and 6.5CM and haven't noticed any turret movement while operating it.

    ARC Nucleus vs. Bighorn Origin

    Cool. I was a few days behind you and ordered on 2/3. I'm in no hurry, so it's all good. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Besides, I haven't decided what caliber I'm gonna use yet...ugh. Post pics!!!

    How often to clean barrel

    After break-in on bolt guns, I only clean when groups start to open up. I clean my gas guns more regularly.

    ARC Nucleus vs. Bighorn Origin

    MPA Left handed chassis - is this normal?

    Wow. As a lefty, I was wanting to try a MPA for the rifle I'm about to build. That looks awful. A XLR Envy it shall be.
