    Suppressor increases accuracy (At least this rifle)

    Here’s the details: Origin short action, 300 WSM, 20” fluted barrel, Peak 44 Bastion stock bedded. This is a lightweight hunting rig and the barrel weighs 2.6#. I’ve kind of been pulling my hair our trying to get better than 1” average groups. I’m not going into detail, but I’ve tried a lot...

    Need to mill my Origin action, looking for advice

    I have an early sn Origin short action I’m trying to stuff a 300 wsm in. It works, but the feed ramps slightly over hang the box on my Hawkins magazine, causing the bullet tips of the 2nd and 3rd round to hang up under the lip. I sent the pictures to Ray at Zermatt and he recommended machining...

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    So, I know Euro Optic is a decent company, but the way they do their shipping now basically removes me from being able to buy from them ever again unless I am buying something under $500. Here’s the facts. I bought a Leupold Freedom 4-12x40 30mm side focus CDS tri-moa, scope and a couple other...

    Questions for those with SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Banish suppressors

    I’m in the market for a lightweight titanium suppressor around 6” long for a 20” 300WSM hunting rifle. I have had no prior experience with any of these mentioned suppressor companies; only AAC about 12 years ago. I’ve narrowed my choices down to the following four and would like to know your...

    ADG or Lapua brass or does it matter?

    Looking for 300WSM brass. Going with either ADG or Lapua. I’ve read many of the threads which indicate there can be a “click” issue with ADG and at times with Lapua. I didn’t even know what that was at first as I’ve never experienced that issue in over 40 years of reloading. Apparently it...

    20” steel 300WSM barrel weight & profile question

    Details: I have a Origin short action and a Peak44 Bastion stock that’s channeled for Remington Mag Sporter profile barrels which will not fit carbon barrels. So overall my goal is a 20” 300WSM steel barrel threaded to 5/8x24 that’s as light as possible that still makes a good suppressor host...

    Where to Cow Elk hunt in 2025

    I’m looking for suggestions on where to hunt cow elk this October, I should be off the entire month. I would go for bull, but I don’t have a place to hang the head so I’m just after the meat and hide. I hunted elk in Idaho unit 29 three times between 1998-2003 and was successful each time...

    Origin short action and Hawkins Hunter DBM

    I have a Bighorn Origin short action that I want to put in a Peak 44 carbon stock that takes M5 bottom metal. I’m interested in using the Hawkins Hunter DBM, but ran across this comment below on a website. My SN is in the 2400 range. I emailed the company that had it for sale and they had no...

    Savage rabbit hole, Tubbs Final Finish, Oryx, new barrel options

    Tittle gives you the rundown. Years ago, I bought a Savage Hog 308; it has a 20” medium weight threaded barrel. It was my first and will be my last Savage. At the time, it was one of the only affordable factory guns with a threaded barrel, which is why I bought it. It has never been a good...

    Marlin 1895 Cowboy 45-70

    Casually looking for a 1895CB to go with a 336CB I have and have really enjoyed. I found one made by Remington for a decent price, but not being local to it I can’t put my hands on it to see how the fit and finish is compared to my JM Marlins. Anyone here own one or have you ever handled one...

    Illinois AWB Injunction….for now anyway

    https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/judge-illinois-assault-weapons-ban-intended-to-protect-public-safety Looks like there’s finally an injunction to this nonsense……at least for now. It’s ridiculous that these judges take an oath to uphold the Constitution, then many of them make rulings that fly...

    Another when to clean thread

    Let me make this clear, this is not a how to clean thread; this is a WHEN to clean thread. We all see all kinds of advice from barrel makers on how to clean and I’ve found that Bore Tech Eliminator and or CR-4 takes care of all my cleaning needs. I rarely, if ever, use brushes of any kind...

    M1 Garand & M14 stock finishing questions

    After spending hours looking at M14 forum and the CMP forum on stock cleaning a finishing, I’ve come to the conclusion that’s there’s about as many different ideas as to how to do it correctly as there are on what exactly belongs in Texas chili ingredient wise. I have two M1 Garands I got from...

    KRG-B with Bighorn Origin question

    I was putting together my first bolt action rifle build this weekend; surprising how easy it is. The main components are a Bighorn Origin short action, KRG-B stock, and a PVA 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. I noticed after assembly that the bolt will not completely close, just barely, and it’s hitting...

    44 Mag/Cast bullet question

    Hello, I’ve got some .430 320 SSK bullets from Penn Bullets I bought years ago that I’m trying to load for the first time with H110. I need to keep the OAL to 1.6” so they will cycle in my Rosie 92. Apparently, “THE” load with these is 21.5 grains of H110. To actually get that much H110 under...

    New Hunting Camo

    I’m in market for some new camo pants and shirt or jacket. I bought my last hunting camo gear around 1995 and it’s time to update it. Back then, Cabelas was a good source. Now, I’m not sure. I’m going to the Texas hill county in October to free range hunt Scimitar Oryx. Temps should be...

    Gunsmithing Rossi 92 and Boyd’s wood

    I thought we had a lever gun section, but I can’t find it so I’m posting here. I have a Rossi 92 carbine in 44 mag. I hate the curved butt plate so I bought a Boyd’s stock set for it. They say that it will need minor fitting. Yeah. A little more than minor. I had to sand quite a bit to get...

    CRT supporter says he has 1000 soldiers ready to go.

    I imagine a non protected class person would be in jail very quickly after pulling this sort of nonsense. They would be fired from their job and branded a racist white supremist if they made threats they had soldiers to fight against CRT. Good grief, the federal government has labeled parents...
