    DIY Rotating Reloding Press Riser

    Ok, first off... don't laugh at my video skills, and my nasal congestion (been sick with the crud for almost a month now). Posted this on the Creedmoor forum and thought I'd throw it over here too. This is a reloading press riser mount that I built in order to get my presses up a little...

    DIY adjustable buttpad

    I've been using my Feinwerkbau 300s for a couple of years now for practicing silhouette. It has always been way too short in length of pull for me and I just kept putting off fixing it. Well, I'm trying to get serious about my position while shooting and the only way that is going to happen is...

    Gunsmithing Any other companies make short chambered barrels besides Shilen?

    Wondering if any other companies making short chambered barrels like Shilen does. I know Douglas makes their chambered/threaded barrels but those are fully chambered and require a lathe in order to cut the shoulder back in order to set headspace. I am just looking to find out if there are any...

    Range Report 139gr Lapua Scenars go transonic at 1000yd?

    I've posted this on a couple forums (AccurateShooter and the Creedmoor forum). Looking for actual similar experience, and also opinions. Since this is well... the best forum ever... I wanted to see what some guys here might have found. I went and shot my first thousand yard match...

    DIY Adjustable Cheek Rest on the cheap

    I bought my 6.5 Creedmoor LRP last year with the intentions of turning it into something else (metallic silhouette donor action), but when I found another rifle to fill the role I then had a Savage LRP to play with. What to do... set it up for F-class and Long Range UKD matches. The only...

    F T/R Competition 3x600 F-class at AIM, Blakely Georgia

    I posted this over on the Creedmoor forum too, but I thought I'd post it here and do some shameless promoting for the matches at American International Marksmanship Academy down in Blakely Georgia. http://www.marksmanshipacademy.com/ Stan Ellis runs a fantastic match and the range at AIM is...

    Drop toe butt pad for 6-position stocks

    Does anyone know of a way to drop the toe of the buttstock on an AR-15 that has a 6-position stock on it? I got an AR for my wife so that I can train her and so that she would have her own rifle. Problem is that women in general have longer necks than men. She is having a tough time getting her...

    Converting .243 brass to 6.5 Creedmoor

    Also posted this over on the Creedmoor forum. I started out on this quest a while back in this thread... http://www.65creedmoor.com/index.php?topic=356.0 I've since moved from Colorado to Georgia and have my new reloading room up and running so I wanted to get back on this. I have a boatload...

    Living around Fort Benning / Columbus Georgia

    Well... looks like I am off to the Fort Benning area come the 1st of the year. I've never been to Georgia and have no clue on good areas to live around the base. My wife and I would like to find a house (to rent) that is outside the downtown area and maybe has at least an acre of land. I'd like...

    Gunsmithing Converting small shank receiver to large

    My basic question is this... has anyone recut a small shank receiver and rethreaded it to accept large shank barrels? Background: I have a Savage LRP on order in 6.5 Creedmoor and I also have a Shilen barrel coming for it. The only thing I'll be using for my build is the action/trigger from the...

    Anyone Physics majors or professional on the Hide?

    I have a question on <span style="font-weight: bold">Momentum </span>in regards to bullets striking "armor plate" steel, and I don't have the background to prove/disprove the theory. Here is the scenario... I shoot in Metallic Silhouette competitions where we shoot at metal shaped animals at...

    Blemished brass on MidwayUSA

    I got an email from MidwayUSA last week for a 50% off sale on blemished brass and decided to pick some up. I received my "blemished" brass from MidwayUSA today. It is Hornady brass. Link to MidwayUSA Blemished brass I ordered .243Win brass and will be converting it to 6.5 Creedmoor. <span...

    100 posts for WTB forum?

    I totally understand the 100 posts needed prior to being able to post something up for sale, but is it necessary for that same restriction in the Want To Buy forum? I was going to post a WTB thread for a Savage Target Action and I was surprised to see that I couldn't (I only have 68 posts to...

    Gunsmithing M700 Shilen Competition Rifle Trigger

    I just recently picked up a Remington 700 SPS Varminter in .204 Ruger. I am not a fan of the new X-mark Pro trigger for many reasons. If they hadn't changed the trigger blade, and if they hadn't started making the trigger and sear out of injected metal I would probably still like it (I am very...
