Well said.
If you go to a gunsmith that's focused on disciplines like BR and F-Class, they will have very different objectives and likes/dislikes in an action than a gunsmith that focuses on PRS and adjacent disciplines.
Hire the right gunsmith for the job. You wouldn't task a heavy duty...
Alex Wheeler? I seem to recall that he wasn't too fond of Impacts.
Funny how cliquish people are with gear in this sport - actions and scopes seem to be the most cliquish. Every brand seems to have its lovers and haters.
There's not a single action made where there isn't a gunsmith that's a...
I bought a regular sized .30 cal Biscuit to use across my bolt guns and ar-15's.
It performs pretty admirably in that role. Not the quietest suppressor, but quiet enough and low back pressure. Great recoil impulse. High quality machining and great CS by Abel.
For reference, the AR-15's I use...
That rifle is okay for what it is, but it's going to take a lot of work and money to convert it into something you want it to do.
As others suggest, you would be money ahead going a different route.
If you can afford it, I would build something off of an origin action.

Isn't it pretty common for these negotiations to be made up of teams of delegations that represent their countries, that doesn't include the very top heads of state?
I'm not sure if I understand all the drama around Zelensky or Putin not being there - isn't that normal?
I'm not reading any Russian media, so I'm not sure what they are saying on that side, but our side is surely trying to paint a picture of a lot of barriers to peace, as if it just isn't possible.
Its almost like they don't want peace. Weird.
The west helping to kick off and then sponsor an 8 year bloody civil war in which the new western backed government was at war against the ethnically Russian part of the country on Russia's border may have been a big part of Russia's involvement in the conflict...
It was the ultra-nationalists in Ukraine that pushed Zelensky away from Russia.

If anyone says anything such as "an unprovoked war of aggression", a war of "democracy vs authoritarianism" or even simplified down to "good vs evil" - you are being propagandized.
There's been so much propaganda around this war it's unbelievable. The left and the neocons were particularly...
