    Shout Out To Pacific Tool and Guage

    Customer service from Sheila is top notch. Ordered my Stealth Bolt in DBM early this morning. Received a confirmation email from her notifying me it was in stock and shipping. She just called me to inform me that they are actually out of stock and it won't be in for 3-4 weeks. My Heart...

    HS Precision DBM experiences?

    Got a new titanium 700 in .270 for my birthday. Thing is awesome. I threw an extra aluminum bedded HS precision stock on it. This is my hunting gun now so I don't need to get all "tactical" with a badger m5 dBm or anything. Im sure the badger model is considered superior but i Just want a simple...

    Question about "Inherent Accuracy"

    So I have read a lot of info lately and I often come across the statement that one cartridge has more inherent accuracy than another. My question is... how the hell is one "more accurate" than another? It seems to me that ACCURACY is directly related to REPEAT-ABILITY. If a bullet comes out of...

    Bartlein #3 barrel contour Pic Request

    I am debating between a Bartlein #3 for my 30-06 build... or a 1.250x 5.00 taper to .900 Barrel with fluting. I hate looking at skinny little barrels but I need to find a happy medium for a practical hunting/ range gun. The barrel will probably be 22" (I know I know 30-06 uses longer...

    A 22" 30-06 barrel??

    Not a fan of longer barrels. Primary use is hunting. Would it be a waste of the extra powder in just a 22" tube? Obviously a 24-26 would be better for velocity's sake.. but would a 22" barrel give a significant enough difference to use the 30-06 over a 308? Anyonw know the numbers on a 22" 06 vs...

    Whats it gunna take to inlet my HS Precision for DBM???

    I am about to pick up a PTG (Pacific Tool Gauge) Detachable Bottom Metal for my HS precision stock (700 long action) Was wondering if this is something I can do with some files and sandpaper... or if I need a mill or a gunsmith? I have read many mixed reviews. Same say they did it in 30...

    What to expect from factory Remington 700?

    As I posted earlier, I just purchased a new Remmy 700 in 30-06 with a 24" barrel to get me by the hunting seasons until I finish my other Rem700 custom build. I was wondering what to expect out of this new gun? I have an aluminum bedded HS Precision stock that will allow for a full free...

    Best Scope for $700ish?

    Just bought a Rem 700 30-06 new for $600. Decided to just get it since my other 700 is in pieces waiting to be built and hunting season is passing me by!!!! This is sort of my budget/ truck gun to get me by until I finish my other build. Do not need any Nightforce or Schmidt and Bender on...

    I am standing on the edge of the DTA SRS cliff... Somebody push me off!!

    As I was adding up my projected expenses to build up my first custom rifle, it occurred to me that for roughly the same price, I could purchase a DTA SRS system that will allow me to shoot almost any caliber I desired. The system is obviously robust and very popular! I LOVE the look of it and...

    Tactical vs. Practical. Need help building hunter/ range rifle.

    Hey guys... I only have money for one custom build right now. Going off my 700 long action. Either 308 or '06. Heavier profile 20"-22" barrel. Having a hard time finding the balance in a rifle that will serve double duty. I'm not a serious competiton shooter, but I do love the range. I do...

    Help me pick my barrel contour!

    I think I am going to order my Bartlein barrel from Grizzly.com sometime in the next week or two. I am struggling to pick a contour. I am pretty set on 20" .308. This will be my do-all rifle. I dont want it to be too heavy but I certainly do not mind a little weight. I think I want a 1-10...

    Most Rugged/ Good Looking/ Dual Use CHASSIS?!

    Hey fellas, I think I have asked something similar to this a while ago.... But I am looking for your opinions on a Chassis system that works well in hunting scenarios as well as the range. I really like pistol grips and the XLR chassis is tempting. But I am confident that a rock solid Manners T4...

    New Bolt Action design in my head...

    Hey ladies, in the last few years I have developed a severe addiction to rifles. Recently, I have come up with a new design for a bolt action rifle and receiver... the idea came to me in an attempt to fix some purely cosmetic problems I had with certain rifles. However, I now think it could be...

    Should I sell everything I own for a DTA!?!?!?

    Are DTA's that awesome? They sure look like it... I figure I could sell my AR and my $1,000 10/22 and get me a nice set up goin on....

    How well does XLR Chassis absorb recoil?

    First off I want to say you guys rock and your opinion is always helpful. The ongoing debate in my head between a .308 or 30-06 is never ending. My Long Action used to be a factory .270 and here's my dilemma. It had a light HS precision stock on it and the recoil was sharp! It honestly would...

    Best Stock/ Chassis for Hunting/ Target Shooting combo?

    Title says it all. I do not want a full on M24 style stock, nor do I want a AICS Chassis. I am looking for pictures and ideas and your experiences with a platform that is comfortable in the field, yet capable when it comes to the prone position and long range shooting. Thanks boys! :cool:

    How long is too long? 22" barrel question

    I am probably going with a 30-06 for this long action build. Want a 22" barrel as it will be my hunting rig and range toy so I want some mobility. I know a longer barrel would get me a little more out of the 06 but that's okay. A 308 w/ 20" barrel is my ideal gun. Can anyone comment or show...

    Badger Ordinance or PTG bottom metal?????
