    Who are the go to smiths for getting a blank made into a shouldered prefit and muzzle threaded, with decent turnaround times, in 2025?

    Y Interesting, I didn't know that's where PVA was located, that's not too far from me.

    Who are the go to smiths for getting a blank made into a shouldered prefit and muzzle threaded, with decent turnaround times, in 2025?

    I did a search, and maybe my search skills suck, but I didn't get results that were relevant to the question of this topic that was contemporaneous. If I have a carbon fiber blank (I mention this because I have seen smith services advertised with the caveat that they don't do work on CF...

    Shank length necessary to set back the chamber/throat of 6mm Creedmoor after burning out the barrel?

    Ok fellas, I think you settled it for me, a cf barrel is one and done.

    Shank length necessary to set back the chamber/throat of 6mm Creedmoor after burning out the barrel?

    I'm considering ordering a carbon fiber barrel chambered in 6mm Creedmoor. What sort of shank length would be necessary to be able to set back the chamber/throat to give the barrel a second life after it gets burned out the first time? I have seen various uses of shank length, I typically think...

    How important is AW mag compatibility to you? Would you buy a non-AW cut action in 2025?

    For those with experience using both mags (preferably in the same action), do you notice any difference in feel/smoothness or friction to overcome when chambering a round? On the one hand a round from an AW mag must go towards the centerline in addition to going up, on the other hand true double...

    How important is AW mag compatibility to you? Would you buy a non-AW cut action in 2025?

    I'm curious about the level of preference for AW mag compatibility here on the Hide. Do you place importance on an action being compatible with AW mags? Do you consider AW mag compatibility to be a requirement for any of your action purchases going forward (assuming you intend to use DBM for...

    XLR For Hunting

    Trying to avoid adding noise with a new topic so I'm going to piggyback on this thread. I have narrowed down a build spec to either the ATOM or Element, both in the magnesium flavor. Barrel will be 18" with brake/mount for a suppressor. Will be used for hunting, mostly whitetail in the east...

    ARC Coup de Grace Builds

    One more for you CDG owners, specifically anyone with the lightweight version. Why is the rear pic rail in such a unique (forward) location? Most split rail actions that I have seen have it located further back, aft of the ejection port. I have to imagine that was a very purposeful design...

    ARC Coup de Grace Builds

    I have a question for those that have real world experience with the CdG. I see that it mentions that there can be vague issues using a lightweight trigger (eg. Trigger Tech Diamond) and the pivoting bolt handle that's an option, and a feature that intrigues me, on the CdG. Can anyone elaborate...

    If no intention of swapping scopes, any downside to an action that's tapped for direct scope rings?

    Ok, I am sold, I will go with integrated pic rail, my main hangup with it was weight (yea, yea, I'll just do more curls at the gym) but I also was thinking of the option of putting this rifle build in a more traditional hunting stock and I thought it might ruin that "tradishnul" look having an...

    If no intention of swapping scopes, any downside to an action that's tapped for direct scope rings?

    I know most people here generally tend toward actions with integrated picatinny rails because they either intend or can envision likely scenarios where they want to move scopes around to different rifles or try different scopes while maintaining a rough return to zero... but... is there any...
