    Which 30 caliber for a 2nd custom build

    I also feel the 300 Win mag is a first choice. I have two to my son and he shot a nice Bull in AD with my Rem700BDL with 180 grain bullets. All the new stuff is just that and not much more. You'll always be able to find ammo for the 300win mag.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thinking about getting a Glock

    I also am a 1911 guy. My wife wanted a Flock so I bought one. THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE is the lack of a "real" safety. Be very careful when handling this firearm! I also have a Beretta 92S and feel it's a much better weapon as it's well made out of quality steel parts .

    Help me out on a super budget build.

    The stock vs Chasis . I bought a Bell and Carlson A5 stock from Stocks Stocks it's heavy but great for bench shooting. MET makes the Oryx Chad is that's very affordable. The Howa is very nice. I own a Weatherby Van guard which is a Howa 1500 more or less. I would suggest that and the SWFA IS...

    First reloads not going as planned...

    Hornady Superformance is a very stout factory load and primers look typical for 6.5 creedmoor. The scratch is most likely die to when the barrel was chambered. Did you follow the shoot one clean for the first 5 shots. You may have a slight butt which should go away with shooting a few more rounds.

    Non carcinogenic bore cleaner

    I like Kroil. I also like using CLR, yes The calcium eating stuff that really gets rid of carbon. Then I use a copper solvent called SWEETS 7.62 but I'm pretty sure it's not "green" but if you want to remove copper without getting tennis elbow that stuff works. I've read the ingredients on a...

    Best optic under $800

    I bought an Athlon for my wife's bolt gun 5.56 and paid about 550-600. I compared it to my Vortex Razor gen 2 and my Leupold Mark 5 HD. Really a lot of scope for the money. More of a WHITE light but tracks,holds zero.
