    Super weird issues on my .300 Norma Mag reloads

    What were the atmospheric conditions? I've used lots of S&B pistol primers and SRP without issue but I've never used their large rifle or magnum primers. The backed out primers have me questioning headspace. Do you have a comparator so you can compare Cartridge Base to Ogive (CBTO) of the sized...

    Factory rifle Accuracy expectations

    There is a large enough gap between a $500 and a $4,000 rifle to drive a tractor trailer through. The only rifles that I have purchased in the $500 range have been Savages and they were immediately dropped into aftermarket chassis. Both shot in the .5moa range. The only rifle I have in the $4K...

    6.5 Creedmoor Lapua brass. Sm primer vs Lg primer

    I've shot down to -4F with Lapua SRP brass, BR-4 primers and H4350 powder without any issues.

    Is this normal for a custom action?

    Everything starts with a good design and the proper tolerances. Then you need the machinery to perform the tasks demanded of them and machine operators who really take pride in their work. It’s like a chain. If one person doesn’t give a crap about what they’re doing the whole thing falls apart.

    CZ 457

    Right now it looks like everything is out of stock. Probably waiting on orders placed at SHOT Show. I have no clue what regulations the USA has on importing firearms. I know that the Canadian rifles don't have any import markings.

    CZ 457

    The 457 Varmint MTR is available with a 16”, 20” or 24” barrel in Canada but it is threaded 1/2” x 20tpi. The same way that the At-One is available in Canada with the match chamber in 16”, 20”, and 24” once again with 1/2” x 20tpi. The Canadian importer imports directly from Czechoslovakia...

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a new custom build....

    Unless you want to Loctite the barrel nut once you establish headspace there is no advantage to using a nut. Most of mine are with a nut simply to avoid the need for a gunsmith. If you have a gunsmith who you trust and can get barrels in a reasonable timeframe there is no downside to a...

    Impact 737R bolt release stuck

    I would still spend the 5 minutes it takes to drive out the roll pin and put the spring in place to see if it stays put. It beats the hassle of sending back the action and maybe having to go through the hassles of maybe dealing with an FFL again.

    Advice Please - Accuracy showed promise but fell apart on custom 7 mm PRC

    Step away from the cleaning rod and shoot some groups. Are the groups below 1”? If yes keep shooting groups. If no try some load development. If it gets worse it may be the barrel. I have a barrel that has quite a bit of copper. It still shoots 0.6moa at 1,000y. I don’t try to remove all the...

    Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

    Came here to post this.

    Preferred barrel blanks - REVIEWS?

    Now that’s not encouraging. I have a few of their Go-No Go sets that I’ve been relying on for years. I guess I’ll be looking up the proper SAAMI dimensions and confirming that they are all correct. To be honest I rarely use the No-Go. I typically use the go and 2 layers of Kapton tape which...

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    The funny part is most people who compete add weight to their rifles.

    That’s an incredibly rare chassis. It’s on my wish list.

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    I’ve never had a gritty Savage action. They are sloppy if you are moving the bolt handle around but when you are on the clock and cycling the bolt quickly for follow-up shots you don’t notice it one bit. All of my Savage rifles are setup for AICS magazines and don’t have any feeding issues. I’ve...

    How is it close when the action alone is $900?

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    And how exactly does this fit into his $1,000 budget for a rifle?

    What should be the next?

    2 years ago I went on vacation to Kentucky and Tennessee. I brought along my precision rifle and I had about 50 rounds of hand loads that were left over from a competition. My home range is only 400M but I shoot regional competitions out to 600M. We went to Dead Zero Shooting Park which is a...

    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    My first 6.5CM was a budget build using the Cabela’s / Bass Pro Savage 12FV. I put it in a Black Friday MDT LSS-XL chassis and I was in for under $1,000. You can also use the MDT XRS or KRG Bravo chassis. to keep it under the $1,000 mark. Spend the $30 and get the Savage tactical bolt knob from...
