I've watched you guys with your fancy Voodoo V22 and wanted one so bad! Finally got the funds to get one and was so excited I had to post pictures before I even had a scope or shot it yet. The Bell & Carlson stock was not my first choice but it was laying around so its getting used for now. I...

It may not be everyones cup of tea but I have been working on getting it just the way I want it. This is about the 10th attempt. Getting the right size and detail in a cast stainless skull has proven tough. I've finally found the right one. Playing with different mount directions I like this...

I have a 591 action and a friend is wanting to build one like it. Surgeon is not takeing orders and paticularly not for actions only. Is there another action out there with the Remington 700 footprint, One piece rail, body and recoil lug all together? I was thinking of Stillers SS viper but...

I built a 7mm WSM with the intention of shooting the Berger 180 target VLD Hybrid. I am told the Hybrid will not be picky on seating depth as much as the regular VLD. I can not find them anywhere and missed the 500 that sold on the classifieds the other day. I will just be shooting steel...

Uses your Gopro so the HD quality is great and gets rid of the distorted wide angle. And video through your actual scope is nice. Theres a bit of recoil with the .338 LM used in the video but I imagine on one of my guns that just lay there and smile at me I could use the 240 frame per second...

I helped two friends build up AR's. We had alot of fun and they learnded alot about the weapon they would now be shooting. Figured it was a great way to get them into the sport. It really drained them of cash and now that they want a scope there is little money left. I dont buy low end...

Its for a 7mm WSM and the barrel is 1" dia. The brake is 1.5". Its overkill but I dont care. Its a single shot Surgeon action and should work out nice. If I charged myself by the hour it would have been cheaper to buy one but defeats the point of it being a hobby. Sure was nice to install...

I was on gunbroker and saw some very detailed pics of the Kimber 82 that was made for a govt trainer. The wood an metal look very good quality. In one picture it shows the bolt open and the chamber area. Looks to have some sort of single shot tray that may be removable? There are other...

PTG had the reamer I wanted but the go gauge and range rod are on back order for like 4 weeks. Would anyone be able to loan or rent me them if I cover all the shipping? Shoot me a PM if you can help me out. thanks,

Since bullets are so hard to find right now and I am just looking to see what I can work up for numbers with other than what I have now, does anyone have these to measure for me? I would like the Over all length and the ogive from the back of the bullet. .338 300 grain Sierra Match...

Every time I order a reamer from PTG there are so many variations I get lost. Someone guide me on this one. I am building a long range gun that will be to heavy to carry, just for plinking steel. I dont want to neck turn the brass. What should I order? Should I just go with like a standard...

I was in the market for a nice .22lr bolt action. Kept playing the bidding game on gunbroker.com on a few CZ452 varmint. After that last one went for $680 I got discouraged. Always wanted a Finnfire Range and found a Finnfire Varmint instead. But the seller has a Range as well and is loaning...

I am mulling over my options for a .22lr trainer. Maybe the CZ 455 Tacticool or something along that line. Then I saw the thread on the Remmy 40x conversions and that got me hooked on them. So a friend shows up with one of his older Winchester 52's and I have a better chance of finding one of...

Is it just me or are the older links I had saved not working anymore. When I click them it only goes to the forum mainpage not the thread I had saved. On a google search that finds a hide thread it will do the same when I click on it. Do I have a setting wrong?

Say you were given an action that has had some work done to it previously and you have decided to not trust the work and want to re-true the action. If the tenon thread was done oversize by .02 and is now 1.082x16, Can I go up another .02 when I true it up? I happen across some info on Stiller...

I just chambered a Remy 700. When I set the headspace I used just hand tightening for the action while in the lathe. I marked the action and barrel with a line. When it came time to torque the barrel to 90 ftlbs the two lines grew apart by about .210" measured with calipers. So from this I...

Thanks to a forum member for posting an install print for bottom metal. Saved alot of time. I was just getting ready to toss it up on the CMM and reverse engineer it. So then I needed a nice fixture to hold the stock. I made a block with full radius that duplicates the action. To get the...

I bought the PTG Stealth bottom metal for Short action Remington. Was hopeing they could supply a install print or something. They could not. I dont want to do a hack job with a sharpy and a chisel. Does anyone have something to help? I have seen that people say they have a Badger Ord...

I work way to much. It takes 7 days a week to keep up with work and I alway say "I'll get to this or that". Well I've had it and its time to enjoy my new found gunsmith hobby. I put a Kreiger on the Surgeon action that has sat for a year, a couple days ago and was so jazzed with how it went I...

I've had this Surgeon action for nearly a year now. It was for a .308 but had a change in direction and wanted a 7mm WSM so Surgeon was kind enough to swap out the unused bolt to the Magnum bolt face. A real nice bonus when it showed up was the M16 extractor that comes on the magnum bolts. So...
