    Gunsmithing Need a quick spec on a recoil lug

    Thank you. I looked all over the net and couldn't find one single blueprint/drawing with the spec to save my rear. The gun is factory for now, trying my hand at making a tube chassis and needed the spec for the recoil disk.

    Gunsmithing Barrel channel too large

    Well the Bartlein barrel came today. It is a taper to 1.0", which is what he guy said it was, guess what, the channel is to small, its going to have to be opened up. I wonder if the guy I bought the stock from new what he ordered. Anyway, I was going to send the thing to Kevin Rayhill but I...

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    I decided to go 7mm mag. It will will do the trick nicely. Not too bad on recoil, nice and flat and not to bad to feed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I437 using Tapatalk 2

    Help me build my Savage la 7mm rem mag

    Holy crap dude. I just want to acquire the parts for the build. PTG makes 2 mag heads, I just wanted to verify the correct part, I figured it was a standard but it never hurts to ask. It's not that I could not assemble the gun. Easy enough to do if was a prethreaded barrel. What I can't do is...

    Help me build my Savage la 7mm rem mag

    I guess you have no idea what a Forum is used for. I'll help you out, its for exchanging ideas and the company and comradery. If I wanted some old out dated theory that doesn't have any relevance I would read 10 year old posts. If you would have read post 2, you would have seen the part where it...

    Help me build my Savage la 7mm rem mag

    Oh sorry, long range target. Keep in mind I want it suppressed. I'm sending all the parts to chad or or maybe mark gordon(he's done some great work on other guns) or someone to be assembled. I'm not really looking to go cheap on the gun. So you think a 1:8.5 would be better? Bartlein will get...

    Help me build my Savage la 7mm rem mag

    No 7mm rem mag fans? I've been reading up, some are saying a 28" barrel or longer. I have no problem with a long barrel at all. I'm looking at. http://www.grizzly.com/products/7mm-5R-x-30-277-284-Bore-Groove-x-1-9-Twist-Taper-Barrel/T10230 or...

    Help me build my Savage la 7mm rem mag

    Stock is a McMillan A5, its now chamber in 30.06 As mentioned in the title 7mm mag. I would like to suppress it so besides the obvious bottom metal and mags what else will I need? Which bolt face(PTG Mag?), what twist barrel for the heavy pills, what length, what recoil lug, what trigger, what...

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    Looks good but the stock I bought was already inletted for a magnum. If I could run short magazines then yeah, nice round a least as much as I've read about it.

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    243 was the original caliber choice for this build. I love my 243, you could use the crappiest loads and it would still group very well even at 500 yards with a youths barrel and plastic remy stock. I gave that one to my daughter and I wanted another for myself.

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    As of this post hand loading supplies are available for the 7mm and are within reason for pricing. I can't find a stock as nice as this one for equal pricing. Hahahaha, I'm trying to talk myself into this build. I'm pretty sure its going to be a go. Savage la 7mm rm 26"?!?! Bartlein barrel...

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    Anyone have a prairie dog stock to compare to the McMillan a5? I see the pd its gel coated and I shoot the piss out of my guns. This gun will get shot almost weekly in the dirt of Vegas and I'm afraid the gel coat will chip off pretty easy.

    I'm "that guy"with the worst luck with gunsmiths!!!

    As a mechanic for 30 years I can tell you, sometimes shit happens. Give him the chance to make it right. I hope my McMillan is tougher then that.

    How loud would the 300wm be with a suppressor for shooters to the side?

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    I want to thank all of you that have posted. Thanks scotty. My daughter bitches when I break out the 308 with the little bastard brake on it. I can imagine I would loose my shooting partner if she had to shoot next to that "monster" as she calls it. That 7mm looks real nice through jbm's site...

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    Just got a chance to look at the 7mm rm. Looks like that might do the trick. I shoot out to 500 plus almost weekly, and that's if I get lazy and don't haul the targets down to 800. Any of you 7mm guys mind speaking up about your favorite loads? Didn't the army guys say screw that to the 300 WM...

    How much recoil for a 300 WM

    I originally wanted to build this as a 243 running 115 dtac's. That 7mm sounds interesting. I've got to find someone locally with a 300 that will let me fire it a few times. I've got a little bastard brake on my 308. It works great unless you're sitting to the side of it, lol. S1-L5 fused for...
