    Let me tell ya about Shoot Straight/Florida...Beware, long rant...

    Appreciate the replies, gentlemen. The FL waiting period is from date of PURCHASE. Shipping time was way more than 3 days anyway- but I had told my son to bring his online receipt just in case.

    Let me tell ya about Shoot Straight/Florida...Beware, long rant...

    Been on these forums for many years...first time ragging in the Bear Pit- but I'm pissed, and I know there's a lot of current and former US military that might care about who to support with their business- or not. My son's a USAF pilot currently stationed in the midwest, just came home to...

    Archangel for Mosin?

    Boyd's most certainly does have them- including doing the Timney inlet. I honestly never cared much for the aesthetics of the ProMag stock, but if you want a DBM it's the only way to get one. Usually the fitment is suitable, but sometimes there needs to be some dremel work on the polymer to get...

    K98 rifle with mg3 barrel

    ^^ This. Never heard of POF ammunition- what are you using for MV and bullet BC? Hornady's match ammo with a 155 EDM is WELL subsonic at 1300 yards at 970 FPS and 17.63 mils. You're likely subsonic somewhere around 1000 yards and it's dropping like a rock for the last 200-300. If you've got...

    Which short action magnum?

    Another vote for the .300 WSM, well suited for your dual-purpose application.

    Elftmann Tactical Trigger Savage 110- Accidental Discharge

    I put one on my .300 WSM (LR target) a few years ago- I've had zero issues with it and remain a fan.

    Savage elite precisión 300 prc

    Have one in .338 LM. Extraction sucks, sometimes needing some "help" from a cleaning rod down the bore despite the load not being overly hot. That said, it does what it's supposed to do downrange. The Lapua is definitely pushing the limits of the rifle- I suspect the smaller boltface/reduced...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Brake Concentricity

    Why did you revive an 11 year old thread with a quote?? :rolleyes:

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    Well said, with one caveat... At 64, I've never been an alarmist- but I've also never seen the state of our constitutional republic like this, with at least some of our institutions within the federal government seeming to want to test the limits to which they can erode our constitutional rights...

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    I didn't have the patience to read through 3 pages of replies, but here goes... First thing I noticed is 400M "+". How much "+" ?? Range is the primary consideration IMO when it comes to matching the stick to the task at hand. Sure, the 6.5 Creed/.260 Rem are capable- but they lack energy at...

    New build options. 6.5 vs. 7 PRC?

    Two birds of the same feather. Creed has nothing on the Swede- esp if you handload. Love these old cartridges that are still relevant- my 54R's loaded with .30 cal boolits give me velocities between the .308 and the Springfield...

    Large diameter, 90 degree brakes

    Don't let self-timing limit you if you can't find one large enough. Assuming a cylindrical brake, easy enough for any smith (or any machinist for that matter) to simply face brake as needed to get it to clock correctly- it's quick and easy.

    Large diameter, 90 degree brakes

    I like Holland's QD... https://www.hollandguns.com/m7/SS--quick-discharge-muzzle-brake-s-s-straight.html?qty=1 EDIT: Never mind- missed the self-timing requirement. You can always use washers like those from PA

    Muzzle Brakes poor form at the range?

    Every rifle I own for LR shooting has a brake- impossible to spot my impacts without one. Any pussy next to me has a problem with it, they can fuck off. That said, doesn't mean I don't extend common courtesy to minimize the impact on the shooters next to me when possible.

    Broken Bolt Lug

    This. I suspect most of us would assume the failure was lack of contact of at least several of the lugs against their abutments. Thing is, you don't know whether the problem was with the bolt itself or the receiver. I suspect it's possible as well that there could be a defect in the machining of...

    What action inlet is this?

    Agree. Rounded front trigger inlet looks to match the sear.

    JTAC Ranch Closing!

    I'm in Pasco, so there's always Hernando 100/200 yards close by for the short stuff. Put away the magnums and play with the smaller stuff for now. I'll check out Ares in Leesburg next year, happy holidays gentlemen.

    JTAC Ranch Closing!

    Bringing this thread back to life... I hated the place when we used to go there, but I jumped on Manatee's site just 'cause I was trying to find a place to shoot while my son's home on leave over the holiday for a week. Apparently they just opened a 1K yard range (or did they just re-open the...
