    Seekins Havak Action Question

    Glen came out with a new bolt design which converts the action to cock-on-open like other actions on the market, and upgrades to tool-less bolt takedown. They offer a free replacement for the original models with the cock-on-close action.

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    If you can find one of the original PH1's with the McMillan stocks, I highly recommend them as a lightweight, precision hunting rifle.

    Seekins Havak Action Question

    @Baron23 - Seekins is getting a chance to rectify the issue. There was nothing wrong with my original PH1 action, except that it was cock-on-close. I sent it in for the free bolt retrofit and they called to offer to replace the action, simply because it was going to need a new locator pin...

    Anybody Shooting Handguns ELR?

    He really, REALLY isn’t. An unassigned receiver 1) can be built first as a pistol, and then 2) forever onward be built back and forth between pistol and rifle configurations. So absolutely, if an AR lower - the receiver - or any undesignated receiver, such as an M7 or R700 or clone, or Savage...

    Range finder to replace Kilo2000

    Another Sig, might look into a 5k, I upgraded my 2200 to a 5k, very happy with it. Or you might check the Vortex, they’re also solid.

    Maybe the dude faked the video, I don't know. But the math is what it is.

    Anybody Shooting Handguns ELR?

    It’s just an unintuitive parlor trick - it works because it’s a big bullet with a (relatively) high BC, but it’s not how most folks expect it should work, so it seems outlandish. He pushes a little extra speed by seating long, but at the end of the day, he’s doing stuff more akin to BPCR...

    Anybody Shooting Handguns ELR?

    You’re out of your depth here. It’s common knowledge that any receiver, such as an AR lower, which has never been stocked and chambered can be legally assembled as a pistol or a rifle.

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    You jumped your Zeus?

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    The Terminus Zeus really isn’t in the same category as the MRAD QC MC actions. It just uses a shouldered barrel, just like any Impact, DM Ruckus/Tenacity, Seekins Havak/Hit, Bat, ARC, etc… with the only difference being the small set screw on the side of the action. The WTO lugs, Seekins Havak...

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    What exactly are MRAD’s and DesertTech’s doing which wasn’t done with Stillers, Win70’s, R700/40x/M24’s in service application? Maybe I missed something…

    Bonding action to chassis

    I don't know that anyone is still doing so, but folks used to "glue" BR and F-class actions into their stocks. I remember folks using trigger hangers which were accessible from the bottom of the stock, just pull the trigger guard and the hanger... Barrel changes were relatively easy also - rear...

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    I'm relatively certain the latter statement made here is well disproven, as there are hundreds if not thousands of Impact, Defiance, Zermatt, Seekins, Terminus, ARC, Bat etc actions out there which all drop into the same or similar chassis footprints, using R700 pattern triggers and drop in...

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    There are a lot of actions which allow for barrel interchangeability - any Zeus, Ruckus, Tenacity, 737R, Bat, Nucleus, Havak etc can do that. Like I said, there’s a big difference between a hand-tight shouldered barrel with a locking screw/clamp and the slip-tenon models. Nut style barrels are...

    Brass lifespan

    If you spend the money to start annealing just for brass life, you are likely to be disappointed. Consistency between firings is the benefit. Brass life on reduced/delayed split necks is a side-effect. But for your 223 Lapua brass, you’ll quite likely see a benefit of returned consistency.

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    Where, in any competitive format, do MC/QC actions hold superiority? What advantage(s) do the more complex QC’s bring beyond what they call “QC”? Recognizing here, there’s a big difference between QC’s with non-conventional barrel designs like the MRAD or DesertTech vs. standard actions which...

    Custom MC Actions vs Traditional Custom Actions

    I'm with DBD, most custom actions these days already are drop-in compatible with controlled headspace, so the optionality of MC actions is really moot - it's just a difference in the tools required for changing the barrels. I have .473" and .532" bolts for my Defiance Ruckus, have three bolt...

    Remington 700 SA Bolt, Old Style vs New

    The later (more rare) XP-100R's had a more conventional bolt handle. Considering the rarity of the XP100's, and especially XP-100R's, I might be surprised if this is anything more than a Model 7 bolt, but it's clearly not a 700 short action bolt.

    6mm Migraine

    Gonna need a lot of weight to get where it needs to be. You’ll want your rifle to balance slightly forward of center of your barricade bag, which for a Schmedium or MFC means 4-5” in front of the front action screw. I’m not a top level shooter, I’m usually in the high 70’s to 80’s when my rifle...

    6mm Migraine

    Nothing wrong with 6 creed for PRS, just not much barrel life. But if you’re paying to shoot factory ammo anyway, paying for new barrels shouldn’t be an issue. MTU or Proof Competition Contour, 26-27”, get that weight out front where it belongs.
