    Re: Teenager shot by cops 15 years is enough to know that if you brandish a gun at a Cop, you are going to get shot. Especially in Texas.

    Re: Shoulder Bumping I use a universal decapper...works great when you need to take readings on fired brass to accuartely set up your dies. They are really cheap, everyone should have one for this purpose.

    Rebarrel options 30-06 savage

    Re: Rebarrel options 30-06 savage Shaw has been hit or miss with me...some of them have been good (not great) and others have been very poor quality with tool marks all over the bore. McGowan is a higher quality barrel...and at good prices. Just my $0.02. Call Jim Briggs at Northlander and...

    CZ 527 Varmint .223 Kevlar

    Re: CZ 527 Varmint .223 Kevlar Jim Calhoon sells a bolt handle that has been groud to help with the clearence issues. I would look in to correcting the handle and not try to use extra tall rings or otherwise to correct the problem. Google "James Calhoon" and have a look around his site.

    Savage 111 338 Lapua - suck or not?

    Re: Savage 111 338 Lapua - suck or not? Savage makes great rifles...and their quality has gone up over the past few years. Spend the xtra cash for the heavy barreled version...it will be worth it.

    New project...

    Re: New project... 22BR! Great barrel life, great brass available from Lapua, Lots of bullets to chose from, and very easy to load for and tune the load. Small case makes for a cheaper cartridge to reload in the long run. Holds 20-25% less powder than the 22-250

    Jewell vs Timney

    Re: Jewell vs Timney Timney and Jewell both make multiple models with options...which models are you looking at and what is your intention for the rifle. If it were a benchrest gun...Jewell all the way. If it were a hunting/steel target rifle then I would think you could get the job done...

    $500 40X

    Re: $500 40X I think if you had some sesative measuring equipment and the knowledge to tell you what to look for you would be able to tell the difference. The 40x receivers were held to tighter tolerances than a standard 700 receiver and not only are truer than a standard 700, you should be...

    Ackley Barrels?

    Re: Ackley Barrels? Ackley does not make barrels any longer, nor did Savage ever chamber any factory gun in a non SAAMI spec'd chamber or a barrel other than their own. What does the stamp on the barrel say? Post pictures if you can and we will try and help you to figure out what it is. It...
