    Stock/Chassis for The Poors?

    Im putting together a new bolt rifle for plinking and fundamentals practice - .223 cal. Would love some feedback on stocks or chassis in the $300-600 range. I'd prefer not to have to bed a stock. I like the idea of the MDT Oryx full length chassis. Also like the new Greyboe Phoenix. Looking for...

    Experience with Criterion Remage barrels?

    Thinking about getting their trued Remington 700 action and the Criterion barrel in .223 for inexpensive target shooting inside 600 - a step up from .22LR for plinking and fundamentals training if you will.

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    Aero, JP, PSA - all exiting - that's not a good sign.

    Experience with Criterion Remage barrels?

    Im looking at a Remington trued action and a Criterion Remage barrel. I like to tinker and work on my own guns but I dont have a lathe. Im thinking the Criterion Remage system will allow me to swap out barrels on my own. Does anyone have any experience with Criterion Remage barrels?

    All original components included? How old? Used much? Accurate? Any problems with it? Why selling?

    Tightening up groups

    Thanks for all the feedback. I think ultimately there are several factors at play. Yes, shooter skill is likely primary. Im thinking recoil management and possibly parallax on my side. As far as hardware, the Federal 175 SMK are usually pretty good but there's a chance this rifle doesn't like...

    So you'd look at everything except the idiot behind the trigger first?

    Tightening up groups

    I figured there might be some questions like that which is why I purposefully left them out - I'm thinking it's more of a fundamentals issue Remington .308 20" Barrel 500 round count Federal 175gr SMK factory load Athlon Midas Tac

    Tightening up groups

    I'm really not happy with this at 100y. My thinking is that trigger control is the likely culprit. Running a Trigger Tech set at 1#... Greyboe stock, Atlas bipod. Everything torqued to spec. Any thoughts?

    Beginner setup

    As a Newb myself I piece-mealed and definitely paid more than a kit would have been. As for single stage, turret or progressive - Im starting with a single stage but will most likely end up with a turret or progressive down the line but I dont regret getting a single stage - it will still be...

    Process steps

    So as a new Reloader this is the process I've tried in my first batch . Missing anything? Redundancies? Suggestions? Assumptions: .223 brass fired once in my AR; This particular approach not intended for precision/benchrest expectations (2-3 MOA acceptable). Decap (using Lee Universal...

    Case prep tools

    Should I buy individual tools for primer pocket cleaning, primer pocket uniforming, flash hole deburring, chamfer and deburr or is there an all-in-one unit that I should consider?

    Best carbine stock for precision work?

    No different than bolt rifle stocks - the key to accuracy is repeatability and consistency. Does the stock lock up tight? Is the length of pull set right? Do you index at the exact same place every time? I like the Magpul PRS stock, the Magpul MOE Fixed stock and the ARFX Skeleton Fixed stock.

    First precision AR build. Need help

    I've been right where you are and this is what I came up with: 1. Upper and Lower are just shells - as long as they're milspec they'll hold what I put in them 2. Barrel and trigger are the top 2 keys to accuracy - I like TriggerTech triggers and Lilja is a great barrel. 3. A supported bolt...
