    Help selecting bore tech products for 360

    Now that I have my 360 barreled action and a mdt chassis, I need to get the proper cleaning tools and supplies. I'll be ordering from bore tech and want to get everything I need during this down time. The 360 is 22'' so I'm curious of the rod length also and I have a big bottle of the rimfire...

    Another vudoo chassis question

    I'm ordering a ba tomorrow from vudoo but have been having trouble deciding between mpa's comp and a mdt acc. I pretty much set on the mpa due to the adjustable mag catch but I seen they also have the esr which is 2" longer on the forearm. The esr seems to be .4 lb's heavier but has updated...

    New vudoo build questions

    Well, after putting it off long enough and almost going down the rabbit hole with a Tikka, I'm going to give it a go with a Vudoo. I really like my Tikka that I have and am satisfied with it in 17hmr but want to try something else. I want to get a 360 barreled action in a 20" MTU threaded and...

    Arca rail or spigot mount for krg bravo rimfire chassis

    I'm looking to put a arca rail and a bipod on a krg bravo chassis that I have set up for a rimfire and had a couple questions. I also looked at their spigot mount but believe it might be better to go with a rail due to setting up a tripod next. I see multiple arca rail options on krg's website...

    Which chassis for the T1X

    I've had a t1x in 17hmr sitting idle since Whitaker started shipping them awhile ago (can't even remember how long) and I'm trying to decide on a chassis. I have it narrowed down to either a krg or a mdt. I looked at the mpa but I'm not going to go through the process of milling it myself or...

    EGW base for Tikka's

    Bought a hunter model a while ago and my base from EGW came in but I bought the light weight version that doesn't have a pin. I read a post the other day that mentioned that the pinned base is better. I can see where it "may" be better but has anyone had issues with the EGW light weight bases...

    Tikka's recoil lug

    Can someone explain to me how the recoil lug work on Tikka's since the lug is not part of the barreled action. I'm stuck between a T3 lite and a Remington SPS both in stainless for a hunting rig, I did plan on buying a B&C medalist for either one. From what I've read the recoil lug is in the...

    Gunsmithing Remington factory stocks

    Don't know if this belongs in the bolt action forum or not but how bad are the stocks that come on the Remington SPS line. Looking to purchase a SS 700 and was curious of what I can expect with the factory stock. Just looking for a rifle for an upcoming trip and since I live in Ohio I don't...

    What finish comes on the Mcree chassis

    Was wondering from those who have a Mcree chassis how well the finish holds up and what type of finish it is? I've seen a couple pics of lightly used Mcree's and the finish seems to wear or around the sharp edges quickly. I would assume so but was curious if it was best to just get one in the...

    Hornady 55 SP's and 75 BTHP's

    Was wanting to order some in the next couple of days and wondered just how well the 55 SP's group at 2-300 yds. If around 300 yds would be my max would the heavier pills even be beneficial? They would be used out of a 1 in 7. Curious from those that have shot the SP's a little further out, thanks.

    Finish a 308 or buy another sps varmint in 223?

    Here's the idea that I keep kicking around on what to finish next. I just finished an SPR with all the bells and whistles including a Noveske 18" barrel, all top shelf components that I hope will shoot great but I have not added glass yet. I have the glass but have not got the mount yet. I...

    Gunsmithing Question on bedding a stock

    I purchased a 700 and want to upgrade to a HS stock but was curious about bedding the new stock. I want to shoot out the barrel first before getting it trued and didn't know if if bedding a stock and later have a truing/barrel job would have ill effects. Thanks

    Bolt roughness on the 700 varmint

    I have a question in regards to the roughness when working a bolt on SPS 700's. Will the bolt wear/break in or will it always be rough/gritty. I also worked the bolt on another 700 but it appeared to be jeweled and it felt nice and smooth, nothing compared to the parkerized 700. Also does...
