I had wanted to go with the DRO, but when it came down to a choice between tooling and that I went with the tooling. Just wanted to be up and running as quick as possible.

+1 on that. You mentioned starting with a short action set up for .223. Aside from the bolt face, you would have to change the feed rails as well. At that point it's really not worth it when one can find an action as common as a R700 with a .473 bolt face.

Wanted to post some photos of the new Grizzly G0670 Lathe. This is a Taiwanese 16x40 manufactured by the Shun Chuan Manufacturing company. Good quality stuff! Also wanted to say thanks to Shiraz for giving me good pricing on the lathe (as he has often done for other forum members). That...

Re: SS Hunting Rifle CZ 550 with a fullstock. It's blued steel. You're not going to find a manlicher stock with stainless unless you custom build it.

Re: Machining Rem 700 Action. This forum: http://www.homegunsmith.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?s=18f994e3fcecf061543cee18c9777be8;act=SF;f=30 will be a good resource for you to check out. Many members there actively build their own actions; benchrest, remington clones, etc. There is a lot...

Re: The elusive FFL All good info! Thanks much for the help.......

Been doing my own hobby gunsmithing for awhile and finally getting to where it's time to get the manufactures FFL. What has been the process / experience of others here who have done so? Is it really as bad as some of the stories I've heard. Did you get a visit from BATF? The paperwork...

Re: Mcmillan coyote camo? Often times you can e-mail them a picture of a similar stock (to what you want) which you find here or on the net. Then they will do their best to match it. Worked out for me the last time.

Re: Test Indicators I have a couple of Interapid indicators which are great. They are swiss and top of the line. Here is a review of different brands that may be helpful: http://longislandindicator.com/p14.html http://longislandindicator.com/p116.html

Anyone shoot a savage model 14 in .308 or a model 114 in 30-06? Any thoughts? What has accuracy been? Thanks.

Re: CZ 452 varmint CZ 453 Varmint Thanks! Good info, just what I was looking for.

Re: CZ 452 varmint CZ 453 Varmint How is the set trigger in standard mode? Does it have much creep when you use it without the "set" function?

Anyone know the difference between these two? I checked out the CZ site and really couldn't see one. There must be something because I priced the 452 out at $400 and the 453 at $500.

Re: CZ 452 Optics and Rings Thanks. You gents have given me some good places to start.

Any recommendations for optics and rings to go with the new 452 LUX? For glass I'm looking at up to $350. I've got a tasco SS with mildot which I like on a .308 but I'm not married to mildot. To be honest, I'm looking for suggestions on what other people have done so I can start researching...

Re: CZ 452 LUX So here's the poopee. I pick up the 452 Lux this morning. They had a varmint in 17hmr but I wanted a 22. An older gentlemen was there and asked if I had any questions. I asked about the 452 and he handed it to me after taking the gun lock off. Say's he has one like it...

Re: CZ 452 LUX Just picked up the 452 this morning. Schweeeet!

Anyone shoot a CZ 452 LUX? How are they in terms of accuracy / what kind of groups are you getting? I'm thinking of purchasing one, feedback would be appreciated.
