Looking to buy a couple Alpha type 2 mags (308). If you have 2, let me know. Thanks

Hey guys I asked a similar question trying to find out which bottom metal was closest to factory savage. Low and behold it's outsourced to Accurate mag, which I did not know. I have the choate stock for drop mag and what is the final vote? Go CDI or should I put in the accurate mag bottom metal...

Hiders, looking for a good smith to true up a savage action and cut a barrel down. Trying to find someone with a short lead time. I understand its getting to be that time of the year but not wanting to wait 8-10 weeks. Thanks

Hey fellas, I am building a cheaper utility rifle from these savage parts I have laying around. Was wondering which aftermarket bottom metal is closest to factory savage? I was thinking CDI but never owed one. It's going in this Chaote that is cut for savage bottom metal. Thanks

Hey guys, had a question for some pro 'smiths out there. Just had a 300 rum built. Stiller predator with a Brux threaded in. I had a dummy round sent to PTG and they made the reamer. This is the first and only cut on it so far. First of I noticed they have it tight spec'ed. Neck and body are...

Has anyone heard from Chris here lately or ordered mags in the past say...couple weeks? My first time ordering one; I ordered it a week ago and paid with PP. Never got an invoice or shipping notification. Just wondering if that's normal and how long they take to ship? I called today and left a...

Hey hiders, Went out today to do more load development for this Krieger barreled .308. I was testing 2000mr with 185 jugs, 178 Amax, and 178 bthp. I found a halfway load for the 185 between 47.6-47.9. That was seating them .060 off. The Amaxes I had .020 off lands and with several different...

I just got a wild hair....have an ultra mag sitting in a BDL bottom stock right now. It's the stiller predator action w Wyatt's box. Thinking of swapping to a DBM. What's your thoughts or recommendations? Will the 338 lapua bottom metal and mag work in a long action DBM stock; say an A5 stock...

Ok fellow hiders, as if I don't have enough projects. I am thinking about trying a savage. Want a .243 for some reason. Probably to venture into the 6mm but want to start with the .243 then maybe more later. I was looking at the LRP but only concern is the say its carbon. I work in the wonderful...

Hello fellow hiders, I was wondering about truing up a mosin nagant action. For some reason I like odd projects and building guns few play with. That being said this will be a long range gun. I'm trying to keep it more nagant than modern but either way it'll be a hybrid. I want to know if there...

Looking for a good gunsmith here in MI or even northern IN to build another custom bolt action. I've seem all the best ones posted, just wondering if there are any around me that can be trusted to do a complete build. Any help is appreciated. Kind of tired of sending guns long ways through mail...

Looking for opinions from experienced RUM experimenters...lol. It's a total custom with a stiller tac300 and a Brux 1:10 straight(almost) contour barrel 30". I plan on really only shooting 208amax, 215 & 230 hybrids. Need some advice on where to set the lands. My ideas for max case capacity in...

Has anyone opened up the mag well on a stiller tac 300? Can or should it be done. Building a 300 ultra and seating 215 & 230 Bergers long. I think stock opening is actually close to 3.650 or so but I'm looking to go around the 3.900 according to powder fill and ogive measurements. I understand I...

I recently bought some "play" ammo. Had to buy it loaded because they didnt sell just the projectiles. I am a real meticulous reloader and like things to be right. The pic below is what I recieved...add a 2 in front of the #'s on the case and thats the oal to ogive. These are horrible. Debate is...

I am reloading for 22-250 and a 308. I started seating the bullet longer to get about .020 off the lands. While trying new powder and loading up slowly, there is obviously air pocket in the case now. Will this kill accuracy or consistency? Thanks for any advice as I'm new to reloading custom...
