I once wanted a 338 too. I ended up building a 338 edge on a McMillian A5, rem long action. The rifle was about 19lbs and was about 53" long... I wanted it for hunting and long range shooting just like you. Shooting it was expensive and carrying it around was a pain. I sold that rifle a...

If you are using a black socket head cap screw those are made of an alloy steel that is slightly stronger than a grade 8 fastener. For a 1/4-28 socket head cap screw the torque should/could be as high as 192 in-lbs. Not sure you really need to torque it that hard but the fastener can take that...

I coated my defiance and left the bolt alone but I had to remove the coating in the radius in the bottom of the action that the bolt rides in. We also were careful not to really get the coating inside the action, but it does build up in that radius a little. I removed it with 600 grit and its...

I have one you can borrow. I'm going to be heading down to moab soon actually. A friend of mine lives there that I'd like to visit, but anyways when some high pressure sets in and the weather is good I should be headed that way in the next month or so.

While not a 6.5 I have a 20" 243 McGowan barrel and I'm getting 3000 fps with the 105 berger. I want to try a shorter barrel and the straight jacket barrel system by teludyne. I've heard guys are getting faster performance from these barrels since the energy is more efficiently harnessed and...

It was a Swarovski 20-60 x 80mm. If the wind would of been calm and the sun lower in the sky the quality would of been much better.

Here is a little video from yesterday shooting my 6.5 Saum. That bullet sure does get there in a hurry. 1025 yards and was shooting the 140 amax with 61gr of H1000. Will need to back off the load a bit as I was seeing pressure signs. I shot at 450, 575 and 1025 yards and my dope was showing...

I have a muscle break and really like it. I'm not saying that its bad for barrel life or what not, but I'll just stick to symmetrical brakes from now on. There was another video that did this test and slowed down the frames per second, then added reference lines showing the centerline of the...

Max, you seem like a stand up guy and once again I'm sorry you had to deal with all this. Terry, I'm not a gunsmith and I would like to keep it that way. I just design/build chassis systems but I have spent many hours on the phone with people helping them with their builds. I do this out of...

I don't know why I got into this and don't really want to start a pissing match. I know nothing about your nv mount, but from what I remember reading TR was concerned with not having enough material to mount it to your stock. If the stock you chose doesn't work with the parts you want, that's...

Hey Moses just trying to put things in perspective. I solve and deal with much more complicated problems than what you're dealing with everyday in my line of work. I'm just saying there are easier, better ways to solve problems like this. I'll tell you what... when I run into a problem like...

Ya know not to support Tactical Rifles but some things to consider would be... They could of put your UNS mount on your stock and it would of looked like shit but they did you a favor and didn't in my opinion Bottom metal needs to be parallel to your action. Most composite stocks are angled...

Yeah no worries its interesting stuff and I enjoy discussing it. Not saying this is going to affect accuracy or shorten barrel life, because I have seen Holland breaks and muscle breaks shoot very well on my rifles, but I have seen parts fail in my career that an engineer had studied and...

I would stay away from top ported brakes. The ports should stay symmetrical (in my opinion) unless you want to subject your barrel to un-balanced forces that could cause creep and fatique issues, which might shorten your barrel life.

I have a 243 with a 20" barrel that I am getting 3000 fps with the 105 berger. It has 750 rounds down it and I'm using H4350. When that barrel goes south I'm going to rebarrel with a 22" straight jacket barrel. Been wanting to try one of those. Should be a good prs setup and nice and light.

I can't stand monopods. I'll take a rear bag and an angled buttstock over a monopod, but that's just me. I designed my own system too and had a bunch of fun doing it. Ended up with exactly what I wanted and currently working on gen 2 chassis now with switch barrel technology. Good luck and...

Got my 6.5 Saum put together. I really like this gun. Weighs 11lbs as you see it in this picture <a href="http://imgur.com/DrLJllK"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/DrLJllK.jpg" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> Here is a picture with the Wiebad pump pillow and mounted on a Monfrotto. This...

I'm currently designing my own switch barrel system. Just need to get a custom action maker to build to my specs. It will all me made in the USA and total rifle weight should be around 12lbs all done up with mag, bipod, and Nightforce 5-22x50.

Has anyone tried RL-22 or Norma MRP powders?
