    Bergara HMR Pro

    Just snagged a HMR PRO in .223 as a trainer rifle. Threw on an SWFA 3-15. Can’t wait to take it out this weekend. Initial impressions are great - super smooth action, great trigger. Factory target showed .5 MOA. Planning on running a variety of factory ammo through it. Will post back with some...

    Ruger take down

    I haven't shot a takedown, but have shot a suppressed 10/22, and it was fairly quiet, I'm not sure how the takedown would be much different. That said, I love my takedown!

    Budget .223 Build!

    Will do! Hope the trigger gets here before the weekend. More pictures and a range report will be available ASAP. I tried searching but found nothing, is there a thread/article on inletting for/installing a DBM (more specifically the M5, doesn't have to be though)?

    Budget .223 Build!

    May have to give it a try. Is it possible to do some I letting work with a Dremel to make an M5 DBM with 10 round magazine for the factory stock? I may do that before buying a $500+ stock.

    Budget .223 Build!

    I'm anxious to get the new trigger to see if it helps my accuracy! I need to shoot at 300 yards to see how I do! The only issue is the lack of a spotting scope!

    Budget .223 Build!

    UPDATE: Ordered the Timney 517, Midway Shooting Mat, and a few boxes of various weight Nosler BT Varmegeddon rounds. I went out and shot yesterday with the rifle to see how it did at 100. The rifle was sub-MOA at 100 yards, backpack for a front rest, no rear rest, factory everything else. It...

    Gunsmithing Cut and Crown Questions

    Hi guys, I am looking to get one, maybe two, barrels cut and crowned. I am pretty mechanically inclined and am good with tools, which made me think about trying it myself with a saw, and a crown cutter from Brownells. It looks like if I cut it about an inch longer than I want the final OAL to...

    Budget .223 Build!

    I actually just loaded 100 rounds of 52gr SMKs behind 26.9gr of H335 (Accuracy Load in my Manual). The Timney is definitely going in first and for sure as the stock trigger is garbage! The plus side of the Choate Tactical (MCM A5 Replica) is that I can get it in an ADL/BDL/M5BDM inlet, and the...

    Gunsmithing Mcmillan Stock Questions

    I am looking to pickup a McMillan stock for my Remington 700 SA .223 and came across a stock inletted for a Templar S/A RH and wanted to know if my 700 would fit in the stock as it is currently inletted. Any help would be great! Thanks.

    My handy rifle.

    Does it have the 1 in 12 twist? Have you ran into any issues engaging targets at longer distances with the loss of velocity with the .223? I have an SPS-V I'd love to do this too!
