    Custom Barrel/build

    I'm getting ready to put together a new longrange rifle, and haven't decided on a smith yet. It's a semi budget build. I have the stock (new bell and carlson m40, jewel trigger, and Remington 700 action). Here's my question. It seems like several of the custom barrel makers offer putting it...

    Gunsmithing Loose Studs!!!

    So, what's the best way to keep sling studs from coming loose? I've tried small washers that help, but can mark the stock. I've tried loctite with mixed results. I hate twisted slings and loose studs! I have one stock with flushcups but never use a sling on it anyways.

    Hunting & Fishing All around caliber

    Thought it'd be intresting to hear what your favorite all around big game hunting caliber is and why. I'm a fan of the big 30's shooting heavy bullets-180+. I'd have to say the 300rum is probably at the top of the list. I know it's a powder eating, shoulder thumping, loud SOB, but it sure packs...

    7mm wsm Owners?

    So, I'm having a tough time making up my mind on a new longrange hunting rifle. I'll admit I'm probably making things more difficult than they really are. I have a safe full of rifles from 17hmr on up to 338rum. I think I'm getting it narrowed down to gap nontypical in 7mm wsm, 300 wsm, or 300...

    Range Report 6.5 140/142gr bullet question

    I currently own a 260 and 6.5x284 with 1/8 twist. I shoot the 142smks or 140 bergers. I've found a used 260 I'm thinking abut buying with a 1/9 twist. Do you think the 1/9 will work ok with the 140/142gr bullets. I generally shoot around 6,000' elevation. I believe the barrel is 22" long...

    338RUM Brass

    Does anybody have s good source for 338 Remington ultra mag brass? It's sounds like a lot if the bigger stores have had it on backorder for over a year now. Is there anything better than the Remington brass out there? Or a fairly simple way to make it out of a better quality brass like nosler...

    Gunsmithing Savage Accutrigger Question

    On average what's the lowest you guys are getting accutriggers down too on their hunting rifles. I can't get mine much under 4# and I'd like to get it down to 2.5#. It breaks nice, but I'm dissapointed that I can't it lower. Any suggestions?

    Range Report 260 vs 6.5x284

    First off let me say that I own both a 260 and a 6.5x284. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on why one is better than the other. I'm partial to the 260. The 6.5 offers better velocity but not by much and has a much shorter barrel life in general. The ability to by lapua brass in 6.5 is nice...

    Manners GAT Owners Question

    So, I'm the proud new owner of a 338rum in a manners GAT stock. It has a 28" Lija barrel on it. I went to clean it tonight. I use a proshot boreguide and rod. I can't run a rod through it due to how high the stock is. It'll go in but I'm afraid of marking up the stock. What do you guys use? I...

    Tikka Warranty Great!

    As some of you may recall I was having some issues with a tikka t3 270wsm. I sent the gun back about four weeks ago and just got a call from them. They are going to replace the entire gun and upgrade it to the stainless version at no cost. I'm pleasantly surprised and very happy with their...
