Roland Beaver was well known back in the day. Old Corps Weaponry not sure if he is still around, must be over 90 by now. Seen his work at Perry many years ago. Westwind rifles Dave sullivan barreled an M14 from a blank for me. real nice work.

My uncles reply to the bolt action debate. some younger guys at the local pub were discussing this exact topic. You know a lot of those are fine rifles. But I've stood over a lot of dead bodies with those rifles. Of course they asked what he carried. Garand

I think you missed the argument Mitch. More than one shooter with the same rifle per coach is basically multiple tries at the target.

Teams with more than 1 shooter and the same windcoach. Ie Team AB with four shooters shooting the same projectile at similar velocities, has an advantage over the single shooter and single wind coach teams. I was told by a friend who tried to register for the match, it was filled up 20 minutes...

I met Dave at camp Perry a few years ago at the Palma world championships. He is a class act, he showed me this rifle or earlier prototype there. He converted it from 6xc to 308 for the Palma match. I like how he is always thinking out of the box, and willing to share information. Thanks for...

Nice bullet trap Chad. What do you do to keep the sand from flying everywhere. Any trouble with sand in the barrel. etc. Thanks

Re: Hart, Kreiger or Bartlein? If its 17,20 cal I would get a shilen nothing else. Any other caliber take your pick. I have not fired a gain twist Bartlein but its my next try. 30+ in longer barrels with narrow profiles like a light palma I prefer cut barrels. I have a shilen palma that...

Re: 1000yd Slug Gun (Shotgun)? Its already been done so to speak. As most things with rifles and shotguns are. Brass Case 700+ grains 2700 + fps. These guys wanted a DG rifle. Its affectionately called the 12 ga From Hell or 12GA FH around the forums...

Re: Tips on Bedding an Aluminum Stock Don't remove any aluminum. If the aluminum is anodized bedding compound will stick fine. Bedding compound is in compression all you need is something to take up the gaps and hold the action stable near the front and rear action bolts,and not cause...

Re: Rem 700 firing pin keeps breaking Where is the pin breaking? Alot can be out of alignment on a factory bolt. The front flat face of the firing pin should squarely contact the bolt inside. It sounds like your pin may be contacting elsewhere. Mark it up with a magic marker and dry fire it...

It seems Stiller got a Navy contract for mk 13 actions ( 2 million ) and Remington got the contract for the army M24E1's. Both rifles are to be 300 Win Mag. What happened to the 338 Lapua?????

Re: Where to read the mirage? The highest wind nearest the shooter is the most significant it simple physics. Thats what's taught at LR benchrest school as well as short range BR school. Mirage is a different matter. Mirage causes the target to appear in a different location than it actually...

Re: Did you build your own action truing mandrel? Yes a good machinist can turn a mandrel which will be more accurate than the kiff tool for a given action. Thats how Greg Tannel and many others started with this technique. Your shaft will have two different size lands on it one near the...

Re: I want total DEVASTATION!!! 30-338 lapua running the Barnes 135 at 4,300+ fps 300 wsm running nosler 125 gr @ 3900-4000 fps He runs slow twists for the lighter bullets so he can get the speed up which gives the visual effect your looking for. The big VLD's do buck the wind and look better...

Re: Would AR400 steel hold up to a 308 I tested 1/2 AR400 vs a 300 ultra with 150's and 180's at 100 yds. It put a very light dimple in the plate when the plate was held rigid if allowed to topple like a silhouette it only nicked the surface. Alot of this also depends on bullet construction...

Re: Anyone shooting a .300 WBY Norma makes the Brass and Remington also makes the Brass. The secret is in the chamber as with many cartridges. You don't want the factory chamber for accuracy. You want to be a little tighter around the belt diameter wise to fit your brass some call it a small...

Re: Remington triggers on Sniper rifles Those that I have seen personally fail were filled with what I would term Gunk and grit and nothing lighter fluid, WD-40 or brake cleaner wouldn't clean out (whatever is on hand typically). Normally I see the failures during sight in days at the local...

Re: Remington triggers on Sniper rifles Mr Humble Is that 03 trigger the same configuration on the issued rifle just honed and adjusted, Or was there a " National Match Trigger"?

I like my Remingtons, but I can honestly say I have seen more of their triggers malfunction than say a Winchester style trigger. The failures were typically due to fouling. How are these triggers holding up in the "Sandbox"? should we be looking at other options/modifications or are the troops...

Whats a good technique as far as position is concerned for engaging a moving target from the prone position. I watched a video clip on youtube but you cannot see how the butstock is held in the shoulder, nor can you see the off hand position and the shooter was flopping around a bit to track the...
