    6.5 Swede build- dbm options?

    I have a 6.5x55 Swede built on a 700 action using AICS 300 Win Mag mags, the mag lips need to be moved in. No problems feeding, and I can seat my bullets out more for the longer barrel throat.

    Maggie’s Need new 18" Tundra pickup tires.... looking for recommendations

    I put Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 13 Tundra. 20,000 miles hardly any wear. Tire shop manager said the loggers running on the gravel roads are getting 50-60K on them in 3/4 and 1 ton work trucks. they ride well, and have really good grip in the mud.

    HS Precision HTR. Thoughts.

    I have a HTR in 308, and it is one of my favorite rifles. Shoot sub 1/2” with Federal Gold Medal Match 168 gr. Bought the rifle from HS in 2004, and have approximately 1,900 rounds down the barrel. Some people don’t care for HS rifles, but it will shoot!
