Was out at Thunder Ranch this week, trying out a Nucleus on a .260. Using a Huber 2-stage, handloaded lapua brass with BR2 primers, started getting an increasing number of light strikes the first day. Got so bad, I swapped out my backup rifle, Stiller action with Bix n Andy single stage. That...

Finally, some pictures. Got my stock late last year, thanks to Val, no issues there. Had to wait for the action and some family issues. But, finally got things put together. This is a Stiller Tac30 action with a Bartlein 20" 1:11 5R #13 contour. Timney trigger and Vortex Viper PST 4x16, Atlas...

I am in for 1 ticket.

I tried the stability calculator on Berger's site here: Find Optimal Barrel Twist-Rate with Berger Stability Calculator « Daily Bulletin and it looks good for the 338 loads/twist I have. Wondering if there are other calculators out there to help with this question?

Unless someone knows different, I am not aware of any swap out barrels available for the MRAD yet. It was a feature of the rifle I am interested in, but several years later, I have yet to see a barrel offered for sale. I am supposed to be on a "list" for when one comes available, but, have not...

In my MRAD (24") I was able to get 1050 fps using some older Remington mag primers, 20g of Trail Boss and a Nosler 250gr bonded spritzers. These were components that I had around so not endorsing these for this use, just sharing my experience. I was at the high end of subsonic with 20.5 and may...

I am working up some subsonic .338 loads and was curious if anyone has any data they would like to share. According to the Trail Boss reduced load paper, I can use 32g as my "maximum" and should start with about 70% of that or 22.5g. Am planning on using some 250g bullets I have and would rather...

Re: Barrett MRAD? What about the different barrel lengths? I was thinking 24 or 27 but am curious about any experience folks have had. I guess you could have both at some point, but wondering if you had to pick one, which one would you pick. Thanks.

Re: Barrett MRAD? Very nice looking rifle, thanks for the link! The guys at my club that really shoot long distances recommended the Sako. I was pretty set on that, but if the MRAD is as accurate (which I currently have no knowledge of) the one thing that "feels" interesting would be the...

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this rifle. I've read a number of reviews and seen some videos from SHOT but was curious about any practical experience. I am looking for a nice .338 and was fairly settled on a TRG-42 but am now considering the MRAD. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Home made AR-30 Adjustable Stock Took it out to the range this weekend and the stock performed well. No negatives, just shot very well. One nice thing is the adjustable cheek rest, makes the fit into the rifle a whole lot better than the factory stock. For the rifle itself, my son shot...

Re: Home made AR-30 Adjustable Stock We also noticed that using a bolt to hold down the stock slider stop eliminated the jiggle we have on the EBR. Since this solution does not really need to be adjustabled on the fly, the bolt solution seemed easiest to implement. Still adjustable, just need...

Re: Home made AR-30 Adjustable Stock It is TIG aluminum to aluminum. The Sage components are anodized with a really tough coating. It took a bit to get it off without removing too much metal. Cleaned the aluminum with a stainless brush and TIG welded. Welds should not be a problem, but will...

My son has an AR-30 that he recently used in a precision rifle class. During that class, it became apparent that the stock is really in need of replacement. We learned about the Adapter that Armalite offers but it showed as out-of-stock on their site and we thought of an alternate. I shot a M1A...
