    Cerakote on a Defiance action?

    I'm dropping off my Defiance Deviant barreled action to get cerakote applied in a few days. I was wondering...I'm going to get the bolt coated, will a coat of finish make things too tight? Any "Cerakote guidance" out there regarding a Defiance action? I'd appreciate it. I've NEVER...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting rifles that shoot FAR better than they should.

    Maybe this is a dumb thread...if so it will die. But I've always been amazed how well certain hunting or varmint rifles will shoot. NOT talking about that anomalous, occasional good group. I'm talking about a rifle that will CONSISTENTLY shoot a MOA or LESS 3-5 shot group, TO THE SAME POINT...

    Headspace gauge options for a 6.5x47 L ?

    In the past sizing for my bolt guns I'd adjust the die so that I needed just a small amount of pressure to close the bolt on the sized case. NOW I'm doing this Lapua build and wonder if I should try to be far more accurate and try a head space gauge of some sort? Sinclair has "bump...

    Nosler Competition bullets....as good a Sierra?

    I've seen very little written about the Nosler match bullets. Why? Good? Bad? Specifically the 175 gr .308's. With so many bullets unavailable they would be another option.

    I'd like to do a few more builds down the road...So have started looking for a couple of donor 700 SA's. Is there any difference between older and newer actions? Or is finding the cheapest new 700 at Wally World the easiest route? Whatever I find will end up getting trued and gone...
