    Is there any easy way to end up with a 50 Beowulf bolt action?

    Something simple like a rebarrel? I know there isn't much of a demand but I am guessing there's no easy solution because I've never seen one. Something like a Ruger American rebarreled would be ideal.

    What's the best performing 223 AR load/bullet if you had to choose one?

    If you had to pick one load for general shooting target and possibly defense what would it be. Seems like a 75 or 77 grain load of some type is the most common choice. I still have a bunch of 77 Noslers I bought cheap so that's what I will probably start with. I know there's some newer bullets...

    Are there any common wildcat 50 subsonic choices for a bolt action other than the Whispers?

    When looking through various forums I've found numerous one offs but was wondering if there is one that is easier or more common (as common as such an oddball can be). Maybe a smaller Smith that has his own take on it. I've heard of one using cut off WSM cases but couldn't find much on it. Even...

    Are any of the custom actions better suited for a 223 build?

    Anything that stands out or are all the quality actions on par with each other? Goal would be to shoot long 223 out of AICS mags possibly 223AI.

    Worth it to run heavy 223 in 16" barrel?

    Didn't know which forum would be appropriate. A while back I picked up one of the Ruger American Ranch rifles in 223 with a 16" 1-7" twist barrel. Finally getting the rest of my parts together one of which is a Magpul Hunter stock so I can use AICS mags. Going to start picking up components...

    Suppressors Who has shot or owned suppressed bolt action 50's?

    I have been trying to read up on 50 cans for years. I have come across just about every caliber can in the wild except a 50 bmg. If they cost the same as any other rifle can I would just drop the hammer but when the can costs 2-3K it's a harder thing for me. Currently I have a 99 and a Safety...

    Rifle Scopes Explain scope construction to me.

    Why are the wider range scopes exponentially more money? When you are looking at any brand they are broken into families by their magnification ratio ie 3 (3-9), 4 (3-12), 6 (3-18), and now the bastards at S&B have a 9 (3-27) which is just a awesome range. Is it that much harder to have a...

    Leupold RX1000

    I finally sent my old RX1 which never worked well into Leupold. They said they can't or won't fix it but offered me a new RX1000 at a big discount. They said msrp was 400 and I could have it for 250. I have played with the newer ones a bit and they are much nicer than what I had. I know...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on EGW and DeadNutz?

    Been looking at a base for my Remington Mohawk and the EGW is a great price. There are not a ton of options for this gun and I always wonder if the goofy recoil lug will interfere with any of the mounts. The other set up I am considering is the DeadNutz setup. Have seen quite a few on hunting...

    So whats the opinion on this LAW folder for AR's.

    I dont want it on a fullsize gun but on a little SBR it would be pretty cool. It is expensive but new ideas that are well made usually are. Anyone have any hands on experience with them? I saw that Lowlight posted a pic of a GA10 with one on the facebook page. Links LAW Tactical

    Why go 6mm creedmoor/XC over 243?

    Is there any reason other than barrel life? Seems like 243 is hard to beat as a do it all round that has a ton of options off the shelf. ***edited to add*** The main purpose will be as a long range gun so I will probably be running the heavier bullets most of the time.

    Where to get non standard caliber Savage barrel

    So if I wanted a barrel in something like 6mm Creedmoor what are my options? Jim at Northland Shooter Supply has a ton of barrels but most are standard chambers. I know I could go with Pac Nor but it ends up costing almost twice as much as some of the prefits.

    Any chance the 6mm Creedmoor becomes standardized?

    Think hornady will load it?

    Having never used a chassis how do you choose?

    Mcrees, XLR, JP, and several others seem to make high quality chassis systems. I like the value of the mcrees and XLR but dont really have any way to try them out. Gun will be a savage 10 in 6mm or 6.5 something

He just got a Savage LRP in 6.5 creedmoor He narrowed his choices to these three. Any other models or brands he should be looking at??? Falcon Menace 5.5-25 Bushnell...

    Where to get Savage parts

    I have all the parts for a 338 Ultra mag but am rethinking it. I am thinking that a smaller caliber would be a little better choice. Where can I get the bolt heads and what not? The base gun is one of the 300 Ultra Mag savages if it matters

    Which actions work with AW mags?

    Need some gear help. SLing and Rear bag

    Signed up for the Norcal shooters clinic so I can learn some more about this rifle stuff. Most of my shooting so far has been done with just a bipod. On the recommended gear list was a sling and rear bag. I was shopping around on Triads website and there are a ton of options What should I be...

    Sendero in 300RSAUM

    So a while back I bought a Sendero with plans to make it into a long range gun. I didnt know much then(not much has changed) but I was in over my head. I had more money than sense. Good thing I dont have that problem now. I also bought a FN SPR which I have been shooting and trying to teach...

    Bottom Metal AICS vd AW

    I have been thinking about the Stiller Group buy and noticed the Tac 30 is available cut for AW mags. From what I have been reading the AW mags are double stack so the tens are shorter and I thought I read that allow a longer load. Anything else I should consider? Seems like a interesting option
