Has anyone ordered and received a Surgeon action lately? I ordered a 591 16months ago and still nothing. I called Surgeon today and lady said she had no idea when actions will be made again and for me to call Mr. Ford. His voicemail said Mcmillan Firearms. Apparently he is over Surgeon now?

Just in case someone is wanting to build an original 1903A4 Sniper rifle, there is a complete Remington 1903A4 action with M82 scope on Gunbroker for sale. Item number is #397947053.

Seems like the trend today is longer barrels, yet the stock makers still use the standard forend length which looks short when used with 30" barrels with muzzlebrakes. I have talked to Manners & Mcmillan about this and they say it would require new molds. I understand that but take for example...

We all want faster cartridges but at what point is barrel life a concern? The 6.5x284 is one of the most accurate cartridges of all time. It has roughly 1000rd barrel life, that is 1/2 moa life. Once accuracy gets worse than that, it`s time for me to change barrel. Since the 6.5 SAUM uses more...

I think we need a new factory 30cal magnum. The 300 Ultra and 300 Norma Mag is too much of a good thing. Barrel burners for sure. The 300 Accuracy International (30-375 Ruger) isn`t going to happen. With todays new high BC bullets, 215gr, 225gr, and 230gr bullets, I believe the 300 Dakota would...

Seems like the .338 caliber cartridges is more popular today than ever. And versatile. Here is a list of the most used .338 cartridges. Feel free to add. This list includes the most popular based on case head size. .338 Thumper .338 Spectre .338 Federal .338 RCM .338 WSM (Win did make but it...

I need the hammer housing for a Mossberg 472. Can anyone help? I posted this also in the WTB section.

So my thought is using the 416 Barrett case and necking it up to .458. It should produce the about the same velocity as the Steyr with less powder. Also, by using the shorter case, should burn more efficiently. By using bigger diameter bullets, expansion ratio will go up so there will be a...

Most Custom rifle builders when blueprinting a Rem 700 action, they true up the receiver face, threads, and lug seats. Then the factory bolt gets face and lugs trued. If you indicate the bolt in by the firing pin hole, then the body isn`t running true. If you indicate off the body, then the...

I have a 2012 Dodge 1500 4x4, Hemi with Crew Cab. I have been looking at different upgrades for the engine (chips, modules, programmers,etc) and just wanted to know which one to get. I`m not spending thousands of dollars. Maybe a K&N cold air intake and Jet performance module but which one? Thanks

Just got done ripping a few rounds through a 1919 Beltfed 308 mounted on Pedestal mount in 70`s model MUT. Few of us Hide members got together after cookout and shot some AK`s, AR`s and Saiga 12ga. Then the 1919 308 came out and folks if you haven`t shot one, you need too. We was cutting...

I just got email from Powder Valley that 10lbs of Retumbo is on it`s way to me. That should get me through the rest of this year.

Anybody running something similar? Just trying to get some loading data using 649gr API`s. WSM case cutoff at shoulder (1.650-1.700" case length). Thanks

Anybody used Masterbond Epoxy for bedding? Looks like they know what their doing. Just curious if someone has dealt with them.

Don`t respond unless you have tried all of them. Here is the list. Ruag RWS Lapua Horneber I know that Norma, and Nosler are good but their not as good as the above. I don`t shoot Remington, Winchester, Federal, or Hornady brass in my custom rifles as I am tired of buying a bag and...

Rodney Wagner shot a .349 5 shot group (0.055moa) at a 600 IBS match today at Piedmont range. He was using a Bat action, Brux barrel chambered in 6 Dasher, March scope and Shehane ST 1000 stock. Simply amazing. Good job Rodney. Rodney uses Vestal`s Gunsmithing & Custom Rifles for his gun work. I...

Shot my pellet rifle today out to 1000". How far have you shot yours?

Where can I buy new RUAG 338 Lapua Magnum brass? Thanks

Does anyone have a Mcmillan stock in camo like the GAP camo without the black in it? I don`t know why black is used in hunting type colors as black isn`t a color found in the outdoors. Even shadows isn`t really black in color. I`m just trying to get idea of some type of camo pattern to go with.
