Well, I am getting tired of reading about a match I have never gone to and shot, so like the title says...2015 SHC...where and when? Any plans?? My buddy and I have asked about 500 questions about how the stages were set up, etc, etc and if we can get time and money together next year WE WANNA...

I had no problem putting it all together following Gary Eliseo's instruction page, once I found it (I'm a dinosaur, I guess) I clamped the whole barreled action in my mill and opened up both the front and the back of the magazine slot so I can mag-load longer rounds..... (NOTE: the mag wouldn't...

Has anyone on here installed and shot a Timney "Craig Elite" trigger yet? I have read some reviews, but don't trust anyone that takes advertising money as it seems like a conflict of interest. So, if anyone has tried one....how is it? all it is cracked up to be? Is it going to be competitive...

I have an older Rem 700 stock Remington DM (SA, of course) in .308 Winch that has a sporter barrel on it. This rifle sort of fell out of the sky on my head, so I don't have a lot invested in it and am considering doing some playing around/experimenting by doing some basic converting/changes. (in...

When I mic the headspace gauges I have (the go and no-go gauges) I find that there is a .004" difference between them when measured in the middle of the 30 degree tapered "shoulder", yet when I look at the SAAMI specs for headspace it looks to me like the tolerance is 1.541 minimum and 1.551...

Got to fooling around with some aluminum on the lathe today and made a couple of test/trial/practice bolt knobs. One is a little small with no knurling and the other might be too big, but I wanted to try making some knurling that isn't so aggressive as to be abrasive and/or annoying in use...

I put this on the bolt action forum, too...but later figured I would get more input from the people on this forum: Just kind of wondering about this after shooting my new 26" Krieger barreled 6.5 Creedmoor...It seems to me that I have found two accurate nodes...one with the 136L Lapua seated...

Just kind of wondering about this after shooting my new 26" Krieger barreled 6.5 Creedmoor...It seems to me that I have found two accurate nodes...one with the 136L Lapua seated .010" off the lands and one with it seated .130" off the lands, with the tests in between those seeming to show that...

I suppose this question has been addressed somewhere on here before, but I'll be danged if I can find it. What I am wondering is if there is a good, RELIABLE place on the Savage 10 action somewhere to use as a reference point for leveling a scope. I have measured from several spots for level...

I also posted this on the gun smithing part of SH, but thought I'd put it here, too. Maybe some of you have been down this rifle build road and ahve some experience with this... I've got a 6.5mm Krieger rifled blank that is stamped on the butt end with the rifling land diameter, the rifling...

I've got a 6.5mm Krieger rifled blank that is stamped on the butt end with the rifling land diameter, the rifling groove diameter, the letters "SS" , the brand "Krieger" and what is definitely an "8"....not eight POINT anything...no 8.25, no 8.5 no 8.ANYTHING, but this barrel is what they sent...

OK...so I, like a lot of people, have heard a lot of wailing and cussing about primer pockets loosening up from the very beginning with HORNADY's 6.5 Creedmoor brass and I am wondering about the hows and whys....so several observations and a couple of questions: (1) I see HORNADY's 6.5...

Howdy All, I have been hearing a lot lately about how important it is to have the whole rifle/scope rig level when trying to shoot accurately and this is something I have pretty much known since I started shooting about 50 years ago and I tend to naturally keep everything pretty darn level...

I also posted this on another forum here on the Hide, but figured that maybe some of you 'Smith types might be better able to answer this than most others....so here is a copy of that post: I'm thinking about ordering a stainless steel Savage target action (18184) and I see that it is...

I'm thinking about ordering a stainless steel Savage target action (18184) and I see that it is advertised as having a target grade "milled" recoil lug on with the front and back sides are SUPPOSED TO BE accurate and square to the bore of the action and bolt face that it comes with. What I can't...

I also posted this on the bolt gun forum, but figured that there may be more educated-on-the-subject folks on this Forum: I have a Krieger 6.5mm 8.5 twist barrel that I am pretty much determined to use and have pretty much settled on a 6.5 Creedmoor chambered barrel screwed onto a trued...

I have a Krieger 6.5mm 8.5 twist barrel that I am pretty much determined to use and have pretty much settled on a 6.5 Creedmoor chambered barrel screwed onto a trued Remington SHORT ACTION.....but....I am waffling because I also think highly of the 6.5 X 55 Swede. Now I have a couple of good...

Am I the only one that is finding that MANY gunsmiths/gunsmithing companies and/or gun part suppliers are extremely poor at returning emails or phone calls? I am attempting to get a build done and have pretty much narrowed the field down to five different "reputable" suppliers and/or gunsmiths...

I'm in the process of figuring out what I want to use for my next project..both 6.5mm, but caliber choices will be the 55 (Swede) and the other is the 47 Lapua. I've changed horses in midstream a couple of times already as I gather more and more info, but here is my question about the...
