I'm about to start load workup for my new Surgeon actioned, 30" barrel .284 Winchester. This is my first experience with that round. I'll be using new Norma brass, CCI BR2 primers and topped with Berger's new 190gr 7mm Target Hybrids. From what I've been told, H4350, H4831SC and RL17 all get...

I know they're probably impossible to find right now, but does anyone know who may sell the 5" M&P Slide assembly complete with barrel and striker? No matter if they have it in stock now ... I'd just like to know where I may get one when things calm down. Thanks.

I want to let you guys know about a great recent experience with Nielsen-Kellerman, makers/marketers of Kestrel. I recently bought a used 4500 from a guy not knowing that the white RH cap had broken off. I shipped it off to Kestrel with a letter telling them that I was NOT the original owner...

Just got my steel PRI .936 gas block. Wouldn't go over the barrel shoulder on the test fit. Calipers revealed that the barrel is actually .941, so I need to remove .005 from the inside of the block. I tried a brake cylinder hone ... all it did was polish it up slicker 'n Owl Poop. Any...

Knowing that I needed to get a chrono for serious load development, I've been doing some research for the last few weeks on what's out there. I've never owned a chrono, but I have used a couple owned by friends. The hassle of setup and the hit or miss results based on light conditions and...

I thought I'd post this here among the serious prone shooters for some feedback. I'm still trying to figure out my prone technique, unfortunately by myself for the most part, and it's difficult to know what I'm doing right and doing wrong. Here's what I think is my biggest problem and leading...

I'm just starting to hand load .308 with the intention of shooting F-T/R. In doing all my research on various bullets, BC's and barrels, I've noticed that the Savage F-T/R has a 1:12 twist barrel. Yet studying the various offerings in Bryan Litz' book, the Bergers in particular above 168 gr...

I've found some chatter from around the time the .308 168 gr. Hybrid was introduced by Berger, but can't find much that's recent or proven over time. Anyone with experience out there? I have a box on the way and looking to develop with Varget, Winchester Brass and Federal 210's. Any good...

I suppose I should post this on the Handloading Forum, but perhaps the moderators will allow it here for loaders and shooters who will consider my question based on load development for F-Class. I have been both shooting and handloading for about a year, with all my handloading being for my...

After a 5 month wait I finally received my Manners T5A for my Model 12 Savage LRP .260. My plan was to put the HS Precision stock that was on the LRP on my Model 10 .223, replacing the factory "tupperware" stock. After taking it to my gunsmith for that and some other work, he called to say...

Hello All, At age 60, I'm new to LR rifle shooting and glad to find the F Class Forum. There seem to be some good folks here with good info (and toleration) for the inexperienced, so here goes. I've been wanting to build a .284 Winchester for a while and figured I may as well do it to try...

I'm looking for a donor rifle for my first Remington 700 build, probably on a LA in .284 Winchester. Used stainless action guns come at around a $150-200 premium. Is there an advantage to stainless and worth the additional bucks? Thanks.

Anyone in the Atlanta area or NW Georgia/NE Alabama running a Manners MCS-T5/T5A or MCS-GAT? I've been thinking about a purchase and would like to check the fit and feel before I drop that kind of $$. If you don't mind letting me take a look please let me know. PM is good. Thanks! Bob

I have a new model LM Harris, non-pivoting base, that I just mounted on a Remington 700. First bipod on this gun. The gun now has an obvious cant to the right. I have to raise the right bipod leg 3/16 inch to get the gun level according to a level placed on the mounted Larue picatinny scope...

Hello All. I've been a handgun and shotgun shooter for years, but in the last 6 months have given rifles a try and love it. I now have a Remington 700 .308 Milspec and a RRA 20" heavy barreled .223, both with nice glass. Here's my concern. At 60 years old now, the steady hand ain't what it...
