    Gunsmithing Rebarreling a bergara

    Bergara did sell barreled actions at one point. As their popularity has gone up, they decided to allocate all parts to complete rifles. I believe they have plans to sell barreled actions again in the future.

    Gunsmithing Average Time for Smith

    I used a smith local to me. His name is Eric Goss, owner of Axisworks in Tempe AZ. Originally quoted 6 weeks. Dropped off my parts, and was told 2 weeks. 9 days later I picked up my first custom barreled action. 3 weeks from parts procurement to complete build. I was pretty stoked about that.

    Bolting safe alternatives.

    Just an idea, I have no idea what I’m talking about. Is it possible to pour an additional concrete pedestal on top of the existing slab then bolt into that? It would add an additional challenge of lifting the safe on top of it, but I’m sure it could that be overcome.

    Thankf for the review. Slightly less fov wasn’t enough of a reason to keep looking for something else. Reticle, turrets, and lsw is what got me. 525 skmr 3, with lsw is inbound from Mhsa. Maybe have it hand by the weekend.

    New rifle suggestions ???

    Are you deadset on a factory built rifle? 3-4k can build a nice custom. I just had my first custom built for about $3600. Impact action, Bartlein barrel, TriggerTech Diamond, Piercision brake, all in Mpa comp chassis. 1 1/2 weeks from purchase, to parts in hand. Then I used a local smith in...

    Rifle Scopes Supposedly NIB Scope (Cronus BTR) with signs of prior use...Would you send it back?

    No way in hell I would accept an open box, demo, or customer return. Makes no difference to me if it is in perfectly useable condition or not. There no telling how many people finger fucked your optic. It should have been disclosed prior to sale. I buy brand new equipment so it is pristine...

    Lessons From Recent Build! Mega Maten .308

    880 rounds on my Maten build and the finish has been great. Deflector has brass residue on it but no chipping. I also have a Ar-15 with 1200 rounds on it built on Mega recievers with no finish problems. Both builds are about 2 years old. Are you running an adjustable gas block? Perhaps your over...

    M193 & M80 Accuracy ???

    Shooting off a concrete bench and using a bipod/rear bag I have achieved 3/4"-1.5" 5 shot groups at a 100 yards with bulk XM193. This was out of a 20" JP supermatch barreled scoped AR. Not the most consistent ammo by any means, but for short range practice I think it will serve you just fine.

    Lilja 308 barrel?

    I run a Lilja 24" non fluted .308 barrel in a Mega Maten reciever with a very snug fit. It shoots .5 moa out to 600 yards which is the max distance I have shot it with my handloads (168 and 175 Smk). On a good day with calm conditions I have achieved a bit less than .5 moa. I use a JP bolt with...
