I'd have to go Shilen. Never had a bad experience nor heard of one from anyone I know. I'm shooting a Lilja right now and when I can, I'm gonna go custom based on a Shilen tube.

What sucks about SK is that you can't order it by lot number. What I wind up having to do is calling or emailing my vendor(s) to ask how many different lots they have and place an order for a brick of each lot. I try to test 4 or 5 lots when I need to restock. When I find the ONE, I order up...

It's really odd that adjusting torque values makes such a difference, since you're using a chassis. I can understand the benchrest guys doing it to eek out every bit of accuracy they can, but adjusting the torque on your action screws to get rid of fliers sounds like the bedding block in your...

Well, apparently, someone can dish it out, but can't take it.

It is true that you could add what you feel like to enhance the enjoyment of the rifle and make it your own, but the Ruger Americans are kind of a purpose built rifle. Light, robust, no frills work horse. I just don't see the sense in trying to make it something it isn't. I don't look at that...

I don't know about spending $300 for those 2 accessories on a $500 rifle, not at retail. Eurooptics has the trigger for $109 as of last night. I am toying with the idea of turning the bolt knob down and threading it for a new knob. Having to replace the whole handle for a new knob is...

I have a Ranch in 7.62x39. Mine shoots MOA or better with Russian steel cased ammo. Any other ammo has been hit and miss, except for the Hornady Black SST. That stuff shoots sub MOA. It's a light, cheap rifle that shoots well, so I didn't spend a lot of money trying to polish a turd only to...

I did the same thing to my grip using JB Weld steel putty. It made a big difference for me. If you're looking to add weight, try tungsten powder. Lots of weight in little space. If you do the thing with the BBs, don't just pour the BBs in and pour the epoxy on top. Mix the BBs with the epoxy...

I have a Ranch in 7.62x39, and like you, it's my humping around rifle. The main reason I bought it was because it was so light. I read a lot of posts on the web about how flimsy the stock is. I looked into upgrading, but that's gonna mean adding like 1.5 lbs to the weight of the rifle. After...

For what it's worth, I have a Predator model with an 18" barrel and I also shoot the 150gr Hornady Whitetail. It is not match ammo, but I've had good results with it. After getting to know the rifle, I quit shooting five round groups and limit my strings of fire to 3 rounds when shooting for...

Re: Barrel & Bolt Recomendations for a 20" AR-15 I've had very good luck with the SS410 barrels from Bravo Company. At $300, it's a very good deal in a barrel. On no holds barred builds, I got straight to Krieger. In my experience, an 18" barrel with rifle length gas system shoots a bit...

Re: Overgassed rifle with IMR 4895? Yeah, loading for a gas gun can leave you scratching your head sometimes. For what it's worth, I do believe that Federal uses a proprietary blend of 4064 powder. It is a good powder that gives good velocity. The drawback is that it's pretty temp...

Re: Do I need an Aimpoint??? With 50 right around the corner, I've made the switch to the little 1.5X ACOGs. I like the TA44S-10s. That little extra magnification really helps and I don't get the blobish reticle. It sort of the best of both worlds. Eotech type reticle with high reliability.

Re: Reccomended Red Dot for 10/22? I think I'd go for the little Bushnell. I haven't used one in any sort of speed match, but I sure didn't have any speed problems running an Aimpoint T1 on my AR.

Re: Impressed with Eley Sport Personally, I've never tried Lapua. Unless I've missed something, Lapua's least expensive ammunition still goes for $10+ a box. Again, unless I'm mistaken, doesn't Lapua make Wolf? If so, I suppose that Wolf is Lapua's "cheap" ammo. When going for the "good"...

Re: 1/2" at 25yds Yeah, man. Don't take this the wrong way, but your son's autism could be an advantage in the shooting arena. Think he'd be able to handle a match environment? Although he was doing it, and very well I might add, did he seem to be enjoying it?

Re: Impressed with Eley Sport <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Tony, Where did Wolf "match extra" fall in the accuracy price comparison?</div></div> From what we saw, ME wasn't worth the extra money. There was no increased...

Re: Impressed with Eley Sport Nah, man. I'm not saying that the particular box of Eley that you got wouldn't out shoot the CCI SV. What I'm saying is that you probably lucked out getting into a good lot of the Eley. It varies from acceptable to downright horrible. Believe me. The little...

Re: 1/2" at 25yds Off of a bipod no less. Very good. I'd say screw the youth rifle. Get him something like a Savage TR and cut the stock to fit him. Just save the piece that you cut off. When he grows, either glue it back on or get another Boyd's Tacticool stock for it. I got my last...

Re: Impressed with Eley Sport Don't get all excited about one good group. The Eley Sport stuff is trash, compared to what you can get for about the same price. If you want cheap sub sonic ammo, stick with CCI Standard Velocity. Look for it in the paper boxes. It runs about $2.50 per box...
