    Build a 7mm SAUM, or buy a .300 WSM?

    Thanks, I have a few hundred pieces of Norma .300 SAUM brass. An easy resize. Are you saying that bullets.com has 7mmSAUM Norma? I'll have to check that out.

    Build a 7mm SAUM, or buy a .300 WSM?

    Well, the completed gun is now in my possession. This was a long road, and I have yet to shoot the gun, but I thought I'd post some (crappy) pictures of a nice gun.

    Feedback Good Guy List

    I couldn't search for his username (TOO SHORT) to see whether other feedback had been left. But DT1 is a standup, solid, would-definitely-do-business-with-again guy. Great communication, packaging, and especially patience. Great seller.

    Kaboom at Manatee today!

    Negligent act that didn't result in serious injury. Thank God for that.

    Precision Rifle Gear The Pros Use - NEW DATA PUBLISHED

    Really nice work, OP. I am by no means a pro, but I'm about to take possession of a rifle that's been almost two years in the making. I'd heard that 7mm SAUM was making some inroads in the precision world, and that's the caliber I chose. I did get a Bartlein for it. I'm looking forward to...

    excellent!

    Why is it better to have a "flat shooting" round?

    To my understanding, the main benefit is: 1. Maximum Point Blank Range covers a longer distance. MPBR is the distance from the muzzle that one can hold center of the target and expect to impact the target within a given vertical dispersion. For military applications, that means the range in...

    JP recoil eliminator,tank brake.

    I know the unbraked recoil is quite a bit less than that of a .300 WM, but I put a VAIS brake on my Remington Model Seven in 7mm SAUM (which is a pretty light-weight gun...) and it turned a kinda-hard kicking rifle into a pussycat. Honestly it kicks slightly more than my Grendel AR with that...

    Night Vision Anyine ever bought from nightvision4less? Are they GTG?

    I want to buy an LWTS from TNVC, and I have an e-mail request in to them to see if they can match the price at nightvision4less. Also, TNVC says the product is 120 days out, and nightvision4less says they have them in stock. I know that lowest price is not always the 'best' price, and like I...

    Cerakote on a Defiance action?

    I have a Defiance action, and to me the bolt fit is too tight to contemplate putting a coating on it. I might melonite mine before assembling the rifle, but meloniting is not a coating, it's a surface treatment.

    Lasik

    Perfectly normal. And a good MD doesn't want to perform an elective surgery unless YOU really want it done. You've made the decision. Now go in there and let the Valium do its job. Keep in mind that LASIK has a very high success rate. My big concern when I had mine done is 2000 was that it...

    Night Vision Anyone compare a Wilcox RAPTAR Lite ES vs a LDI DBAL-D2

    When you say 'regular' RAPTAR, which model are you talking about? The Mil-only version? Or are you comparing the Class 1 RAPTAR with a mil-only PEQ? The question I have is: "Is the illuminator on the RAPTAR ES Lite good enough for use out to 200 yards?" No one has answered that...

    Night Vision what helmet to buy?

    Let's say I'm out walking around at night with the PVS-14 mounted on the helmet. Can I quickly unmount it and put it on the rail behind the Aimpoint? In other words, does the same mount that is screwed into the PVS-14 'clip on' to the mount arm and to the rail? Or is there more work involved...

    Night Vision what helmet to buy?

    I'm going to do a slight hijack here. Once I get my PVS-14 from TNVC, I'm pretty much set on picking up a Team Wendy Exfil from them as well. But I've been looking at the accessories pages, and ay carumba I'm confused. Strictly LSHD noob when it comes to this stuff. I have been reading a lot...

    Night Vision FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up

    SkyPup. In your opinion, which of the following packages would serve me best? I'll be talking to the good folks at TNVC (from whom I will buy when the time comes) as well, so if you want to chime in, Vic, that would be great. In fact, all informed opinion is welcome, because I am still...

    Night Vision FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up

    What is all the video noise coming from in the horizontal lines? Does the FLIR show that when viewed directly? Is it an artifact from the DVR? It doesn't look like video compression artifacting.

    F T/R Competition Chamber setup question.

    I'm not very smart about this stuff, but it seems logical to me that Greg knows what he is doing. He knows that I gave him new resized brass. Why would he cut a chamber that would cause problems down the road? Every piece of brass that runs through the chamber he cuts will be resized, and...

    F T/R Competition Chamber setup question.

    I used a Hornady New Dimension, and an expander arbor from 21st Century. The dummy was made from a new Norma .300 SAUM case, full-length resized in the Hornady die.
