    260 remington vs 6.5 creedmoor

    Certainly didnt mean to sound argumentative. Just didnt understand the basis of the statement. I have 2 260s, one that feed from an internal magazine and one from DBM and I have never had any issues with being able to seat bullets where the gun wanted them for best accuracy. Performance...

    260 remington vs 6.5 creedmoor

    Dont guess I understand this. The base case for the 260 (308) was designed from the ground up as an efficient short action cartridge. In fact, that is one of its primary claims to fame, along with outstanding accuracy.

    Rifle Scopes Voertex Optics Never Ever Again!!!

    Agreed. First post is to say "Boo fuckin hoo" They would only give me my money back.

    AT Vs AX differences

    I already have a barrel vise and torque wrench so I'm good there. Found the thread on the hide member that makes the action wrenches so that is all I would need, other than the barrel. I may have to just get the AX in 260 Rem. Does the 1:12 twist of the LW barrels stabilize heavier bullets...

    AT Vs AX differences

    Unfortunately, getting both is just not an option for me. I would probably get it in a 20" 308 version and get a 260 barrel later but I dont necessarily need to be able to change on the fly. It would be nice, but certainly not a requirement. I have shot a few matches and would very much like...

    AT Vs AX differences

    Hello AI fans. I am contemplating a new AI but am not sure which direction to go. From what I can tell, the primary difference between the AT and the AX (non MC), is the chassis mag cutout on AX and the quick change barrel that is present on the AT, but not on the AX. They are both bonded...

    typical 5 shot group with my home built 308 Savage.

    Thanks. I wish I could take credit for the prayer but I cant. It is plagiarized from someone else. Worthy of repeating though.

    typical 5 shot group with my home built 308 Savage.

    Nowhere will you find any posts where I shit on a Savage thread and didnt do so here. Nor did I talk any shit. Just gave an honest opionion of my actual experiences with one. If that is a problem for you, that says nothing whatsoever about me, but does say volumes about you. Not everone is a...

    typical 5 shot group with my home built 308 Savage.

    I have a self built Savage that will also consistently shoot this good. Unfortunately, there is more to a good rifle than the spacing of the holes it shoots. After frustration with an inferior trigger design (even with an ostensibly quality aftermarket trigger) and very spotty functioning, I am...

    Savage AICS Bolt binding on magazine

    Well it would appear that the Alpha mags are the culprit. I remembered that I have the one 5 round AI mags that came with the chassis and tried it. With it inserted, I took a kneeling field position with most of the rifle weight on my hand pusing up on the mag. There was some drag, but could...

    Lothar Walther Palma Match vs. Shilen Select Match - 308 Win

    Cant go wrong with either. I have a LW on my 223 and it is spooky accurate. I am sure a Shilen would shoot just as good, so I would go for whatever is cheaper or available quicker. I recently got a Hart that is equal in quality to either one of them in 5 weeks.

    Savage AICS Bolt binding on magazine

    Guess I should have noted that my mags are Alpha mags. Not sure if that will make a difference. I am going to order a genuine AI mag and see if that makes a difference. If not, adding some height to the top of the mag to control its heigt would seem to be the corrective action.

    Savage AICS Bolt binding on magazine

    The contact point is definately the feed lips of the magazine. Just wondered if anyone had encountered it and figured out a way to correct it. Have way too much money invested in this one to entertain buying another chassis. Just need to figure out how to address this problem.

    Savage AICS Bolt binding on magazine

    BTT. Nobody have any experience with this?

    Savage AICS Bolt binding on magazine

    I have a custom 260 built on a Stevens 200 action (Savage model 10) in an AI chassis system. I love the stock but if there is any pressure exerted upward on the magazine, the bolt will bind up on the magazine feed lips. I tried some temporary spacers between the chassis and action to see if it...

    To ACCUTRIGGER or NOT TO ACCUTRIGGER...This is the question...

    Guess I am a trigger snob. Just wasnt too crazy about the AT. Got an SSS unit and love it.

    savage vs. stiller

    Agreed. If you are going to be paying the bill to feed a 333 LM, there is no point in going cheap. You are going to be out a lot of money no matter which route you go.

    30-06 or 300WM/WSM

    Currently in process of building a M-70 CRF 300 WSM for an upcoming elk hunt. I reload so I am not a big fan of belted rounds. Velocities between the WM and WSM ar essentially a wash and the 06 just doesnt offer very much of an advantage over a 308 in practical terms. I prefer the WSM but...
