    7wsm With 69gr of H1000 Under a 180 Berger Anyone Running This Load

    Best low profile hearing protection for a child

    I need to find some lower profile hearing protection for my 9yr old daughter. It was not as much of an issue with the AR but getting a proper cheek weld with a bolt action it seems to be pushing the ear pro in an un-comfortable position for her, which worries me more that the seal might not be...

    My APA built for my daughter

    Awhile back I was given a beat up 7mm Rem Mag from my father in law. I decided that I should have it cleaned up so that I could someday give it to my daughter as she has a very close relationship with her Grandpa. So I called Jered at APA and explained to him what I was doing. Originally I...

    Does anyone have a 7wsm built by Surgeon on their action.

    As I had posted earlier I'm on a long waiting list to get my Surgeon 591 action for my 7wsm build. Originally I was planning to send everything to GAP to have them build it as I have heard that thier 7wsm chamber works great with the 180 Bergers. At someones recommendation they suggested I...

    Sako TRG-22 Trigger Adjustment Help

    Could use some help with getting this trigger adjusted. I had a TRG-42, and it came adjusted in a way that I never felt the need to adjust it. My TRG-22 came not so good, so I purchased a Lyman Digital trigger pull gauge to get it where I wanted. I've played with it a bit now and although...

    Let me apologize now if this has been discussed. I know the AICS skins haven't been out long but I'm wondering if anyone has tried these as well as the Viper Skins? If so did you like one more then the other and if so what about the specific one did you like? I'm a premature with my opinions...
