    Gunsmithing Latest: 308 Win Scimitar build

    How much does it weigh? Is the device riding the side of the bolt for CRF?

    Building an AR, does choice of receivers matter much?

    It comes down to preference. Since I scored a complete Seekins upper (receiver and hand guard), I wanted a matching lower. The choice then came down to billet vs forged. For forged, it really made no difference at all. My my mil discount, the Seekins forged lower was comparably priced. But the...

    my SCAR 17s my version of the DMR lol

    Overall, it looks pretty cool. I guess I don't understand the LR optic and forward grip on at the same time; I would use the forward grip for more close in stuff with a 1-x powered optic or red dot, in which case the bipod would be removed. If you're going to run it with both, then you should...

    Rifle Scopes Seekins Rings, Bushnell LRHS, question - Uneven scope rings

    The rings should just barely fit. Make sure the rifle is level and make sure the scope is level and set prior to screwing the upper ring halves together. Go in an alternating "star like" pattern. You only need to torque them to something like 12-15 INCH #. Make sure that they have the same...

    Am I reading something wrong? Data for 6.5 Creedmoor and H4350

    I started at 41.0 and have worked up past 43.3. I found my sweet spot at 42.3, which is about where many others dial-in.

    At what max range do you think this rifle could ring the steel reliably?

    To clarify, I mean that the Redfield's glass quality may not be of much use beyond 600 yards even at highest magnification. The Redfield line is ideally suited to taking game just a couple hundred yards away. I'm sure with a 30-06 there is plenty of internal elevation to get well beyond 600, and...

    At what max range do you think this rifle could ring the steel reliably?

    It would be nice if you had chronograph readings for an entire box. From there you could compute the min and max ballistic capabilities. Then, you need to consider how effective your optics are; I'm skeptical that the Redfield is of much use beyond 600 yards, but I could be wrong.

    Gunsmithing From Krylon to Cerakote ??

    Danny, before any cerakote is applied the surfaces get prepped and blasted down. This will remove not only krylon, but any other finish currently on the device. There is a sniper's hide group buy going on now for cerakoting. You could get your SPS barreled action coated OD green for ~ $60. You...

    Long Action 308 v.s 300 WSM MAGAZINE?

    Possibly the feed lips weren't to exact spec. That's an easy fix though. If you run with detachable mags you should get yourself a set of micrometer calipers and one of these: MAGAZINE FEED LIPTOOL | Brownells

    My new 308 Build

    I would get a 9-13 notched swivel harris w/ pod loc; you'll need a rail adapter too. Or you can cough up an extra $50-$70 for an Atlas.

    Long Action 308 v.s 300 WSM MAGAZINE?

    Accurate mag sells 30-06 mags, which will fit perfectly in AICS bottom metal. No need to modify any feed lips with these. You can use standard 300 WM mags for 300 WSM in a long action.

    Manners BDL mini chassis?

    I don't know how you could go wrong with the BDL mini chassis on a hunting rig. You order the stock from Manners and when it arrives you drop it in a go! Convenient, modular, lightweight, and lower cost. I think bedding is the way to go if you really want to polish the cannon ball and have the...
