    Browning X Bolt vs. Tikka T3

    Re: Browning X Bolt vs. Tikka T3 Thanks for all the info guys. I did get the prices wrong at the start (I was going from memory) the Browning is more expensive. The Tikka is sounding like the way to go. I really love the look of the Super Varmint. Gorax: it sounds like you're able to shoot...

    Browning X Bolt vs. Tikka T3

    I'm in the market for a .243 to go after deer and pigs in the forest. So I want something relatively maneuverable to get around trees as well as in and out of the land rover. Max range will be 200 yards, maybe 300. At the moment I'm leaning towards the Browning because it comes glass bedded and...

    Range Report Super-stabilizing to avoid transonic upset?

    Re: Super-stabilizing to avoid transonic upset? While you are correct in saying it's more of a problem for artillery, it can also be a factor to consider with man-portable rifles. A .338 Lapua Mag for example can display drops at 1000 yds of over 80 yards, not feet. And at the extremes a...

    Range Report Super-stabilizing to avoid transonic upset?

    Re: Super-stabilizing to avoid transonic upset? If a bullet is spinning too fast it can actually become over-stabilized. When the bullet begins to slow and drop due to gravity the nose of the bullet will ordinarily drop as well, so the bullet continues to be pointing in the direction it is...

    optimum barrel length for a .243 build

    Re: optimum barrel length for a .243 build You definitely want longer than 24", especially if weight isn't an issue. I had the exact same dilemma when designing my 6mm rem improved. I looked at lots of test results comparing velocity to barrel length and in the end I went all out and got a...

    AI AX Chassis

    Re: AI AX Chassis It is already available with a fixed stock, at least in the UK. It appears to be designated the "stage 1.5", whereas the folding stock is the "stage 2". I have found it for sale on this site http://www.sportingservices.co.uk/aics.asp Accuracy International have introduced a...

    New 6mm rem custom build!

    Re: New 6mm rem custom build! Yeah I am going for a long action surgeon 1086, then use an accuracy international 300 win mag magazine which may need the feed lips adjusted slightly but in theory it should work.

    New 6mm rem custom build!

    Re: New 6mm rem custom build! Sendero, that's a sweet shot. What range was that at? Turbo, I see what you're saying. As long as the rifle is accurate I'm happy. Weight really isn't an issue. Hell, I spent 9 straight days walking across the Scottish highlands with 85lbs on my back. And the...

    New 6mm rem custom build!

    Re: New 6mm rem custom build! You're right, it is more of a tactical rifle which is what I like. When I said it was a bench rest, I didn't mean I was going to be competing with it. I just want a tactical style rifle that looks really good and shoots really accurately out to long range. I...

    New 6mm rem custom build!

    Re: New 6mm rem custom build! I know 32" is quite cumbersome, but it is predominantly going to be used for bench rest, with very occasional use as a hunting rifle, but I don't think that having to carry it around once or twice a year looking for deer will bother me too much, and it definitely...

    New 6mm rem custom build!

    OK, so after a long time researching and making decisions, I think I have come to a conclusion. The biggest challenge was deciding what calibre to shoot. I've settled on the 6mm rem AI. Originally I was thinking of a .243 but the 6mm rem has a larger case capacity and a longer neck which should...

    Boron Nitride bullet coating..?

    Re: Boron Nitride bullet coating..? Thanks for the info! And apologies for my spelling of Tubb!! How much of an increase in barrel life do they give? I'm looking at building a custom rig, most likely in .243 or .243 AI and using them in that. 243's don't have a great reputation for barrel...

    Boron Nitride bullet coating..?

    Has anyone had any experience with bullets coated with boron nitride? I've heard mixed reviews about moly coating, but while I was researching the subject I came across this article: http://www.6mmbr.com/bulletcoating.html It says that moly and tungsten disulfide can both combine with moisture...

    Maximum/best barrel length for .243

    I am planning on getting a custom accuracy international AW .243 which will be used primarily for long range targets and also a bit of deer and goat hunting. I want to use 115gr DTACs and want the max possible velocity and accuracy for optimum range, but not so long that I start to lose...
