    WTB: Two 300 NM fired cases or a 300 NM modified case

    Having a 300 NM built. Sourcing reloading equipment now. Hornady will make me a modified case if I supply two fired cases; or if someone has one or can make one I'll gladly purchase one. Please send me a PM. THX.

    300 Norma Mag Modified Case

    Does anyone know of a place that sells a 300 NM modified case? If no such animal exists, any ideas of a work around or how best to measure max BOL length for the rifle?

    Pics Please - New GAP-10 Handguard

    The GAP-10 sticky has like one or two so-so pics of the new hand guard, and GAP's website still uses the old hand guard on their stock photos. Would those of you that have a GAP-10 with the new hand guard kindly post in this thread? I'm interested in seeing the hand guard from multiple views and...

    OCW w/ 16.5" 308, 175gr SMK and IMR 4895 - advise on next step?

    So I know that 42.4gr IMR 4895 w/ win brass and 175 SMKs is a pretty good load for many rifles (OCW Overview - Dan Newberry's OCW Load Development System). I have a Rem 700 5R that absolutely loves this combo. Since I chopped my 308 Surgeon Scalpel barrel down from 24" to 16.5", I've had a...

    My new Surgeon switch hitter, courtesy APA

    I finally have enough to post the results of my project. About a year ago I purchased a Surgeon scalpel in 308 with a fully loaded A5 sand cammo stock and 24" MTU barrel. It hammers pretty well, but like many on this forum I am infected with a serious case of rifle ADD. My project started...

    Gunsmithing Mounting accushot monopod on Manners T5

    My wife doesn't really dig shooting off sand bags. She primarily just uses her hand/fist. A friend of mine has an accushot monopod on his Whiskey-3 chassis, and he had one on a manners T5 mini-chassis that he recently sold. The picatinny rail on the mini-chassis was installed by Manners...

    308 5R - Pushed hard but still going strong 3000 rds later

    With all the great action truing/barrel changeout services being offered, seems hard to resist giving my wife's 308 5R even more of a makeover. Since my rifle is getting worked over by Jared at APA, we've just been shooting our pistols, but today she wanted to take her rifle out. I had a...

    Rifle Scopes Review: 2.5-10x32 Vortex Viper PST FFP

    Until this scope came out, offerings for a variable and lightweight low to mid power scope with side focus and a tactical reticle were pretty much non-existent. Nightforce discontinued its 2.5-10x24, which pretty much just left the 2.5-10x32. The Nightforce scope is pretty nice, but I refused...

    Anyone load long OAL 308s in 300WSM Accurate Mag?

    My wife has a Type 2 Alpha Mag in her Manners T5 mini-chassis, and she's getting really sick of it. In particular, she can't shove 10 rounds in the magazine and fit load it in the bottom without fiddling with it for several minutes. Standard AI mags work terrific, but I can't lengthen them to...

    2 Site Suggesstions - MGMT Please Consider

    1. The stickies are helpful, but I don't really need to see them again and again at the top of subsequent pages. If I go to page 2, my intention is that I don't want to read those posts and want to review older material. But, especially with the bolt action rifles threads, several lines of...

    Need some 6x40 scope base screws

    Unfortunately I stripped two screws removing my EGW picatinny scope rail from my Remington receiver. I would like to get a fresh set of 4. Any idea where I can get these? On Brownells I have to buy 12 of one type, which I don't need, and I'm not sure what screws I need to select. Can anyone...

    Questions about meloniting

    After witnessing the performance of my friend's melonited barrel, I think I'm going to go for it! I have a Surgeon Rifle's built .308 Win that I want to make into a switchbarrel system with 6.5mm Creedmoor. I already have a 6.5mm Bartlein barrel on hand. I'm not really interested in having...

    Gunsmithing Which barrel thread lube in switchbarrel setup?

    I'm going to take the plunge and get a switch barrel setup on my Surgeon 591/R. I'm in process of buying the tools I'll need for this right now. What thread lube do you recommend wiping on the breech end threads before fitting and torquing it to the action? I came across this, but I'm not...

    Gunsmithing Adjusting Jewell Trigger

    I would like to adjust my Jewell trigger to get a little more sear engagement. The reason is that I think that my firing pin needs to release with a tad more force. From my troubleshooting, I believe that I can rule out a dirty bolt, debris in the firing pin pocket, wrong firing pin length...

    Loads for 270 Winchester

    I know that 270 Winchester isn't really a precision rifle chambering, but I have one that my grandfather built on a Rem 721 action that has killed many beasts. It still shoots great. With deer season just a couple days away, I figure why not start a new thread for a popular deer rifle...
