Been looking around for other 1911 frames and slides from manufaturers besides Caspian and STI. At one time I had decided to start a build on one of Caspians titanium frames, but the cost and tooling issues have put a hold on that. Now I think I'm going to use an aluminum frame and build a...

hey folks, just picked up this bad boy last thursday and its finally broke in. has 50 rounds through it.so far its shooting the 250 scenar real good. will try the 300 grain scenars after testing a few more powders with the 250s.

What are the general thought on using a Tikka action for a custom build? Any pro's or cons? Thanks Lee

I went into the gun store yesterday looking for a used Remington 700 for a 243 build I have been thinking about and came home with a stripped Eagle AR10 lower. I know Armalite use to make these in 243, but has anyone here done this recently? What problems have you run into with functioning...

Today I lucked out and got a McSwirley off the specials page that I liked the colour of after they sent me a pic thats already inletted for Surgeon bottom Metal and action, I would not have waited 5mnths for an A5 would have jumped on aanother Manners; A5 70% Tan 10% Yellow 10% white 10% Dark...

It's here, My Iron Ridge AR-10 Lower mated to my GAP Upper.... Before I went to Texas, I dropped off my SH Build AR-10 upper to Oliver & Co, over at Iron Ridge. At the same time, I was able to get a tour of the shop, and see where the lowers for the group buy were being created. At that...

I got tired of feeling like I am the only one without an AR working at my Guard base. I work there full time and everyone is always talking about it and I can't take it anymore! So I recently bought a DPMS LR-308 lower receiver from a local shop and I started my voyage towards AR bliss...

I would like to build a nice precision 10/22 for practicing precision shooting. It will be scoped and need to have a stock that will not flex when shot slung up. I want it to be somewhat light (I will still walk with it at times) If money wasn't an object, how would you build it and why? I...

Does anyone have any data on this caliber or used it for LR hunting. Is it practical or just go with the 338 RUM instead?

I'm fairly new to precision rifle shooting, though I've got a lot of experience shooting and hunting in field (and military) environments. I have been thinking about buying an expensive precision rig but I realize, after reading many posts about both formal training and practice, that I should...

I have chosen the action and barrel; as above its a surgeon short action with surgeon bottome metal and will wear a Lilja 28" 3R 8 twist tube finished at .950" at the muzzle The stocks I am considering are; Mcm A5 manners T2A manners T4A What would you choose and why ?? any chocies I have...

I have a 22 centerfire, full bull taper barrel that I bought several years ago in college. It was during that era where an $80 barrel blank was my monthly shooting budget, so it's not anything special, just an Adams and Bennet 26" blank. My dad made me an offer that I'm seriously considering...

I am dreaming of a new custom build from some place like GAP or Surgeon. Most of my shooting time is on targets, with 300M up to 1000M ranges available to me. But, a gun for pure target shooting is not my cup of tea. If I am going to gain proficiency with it, I must also be able to hunt well...

It's been a long time coming but it's complete. Had a switch barrel 7mm WSM/.308 Win built (pics with 7wsm barrel). Almost everything but the action was purchased from fellow hide members, thanks guys. All the smithing was done by Tony Veronesi of Seminole, Pa. Tony's a Class 3 dealer and a...

Im going to start the slow process of a .308 Ar Build. Is there any that gives an advantage over the other except for availability at this point?

Before I build this calibre I thought I would get some feedback from a good group of fellow shooters. Can anyone tell me some pros & cons. Is it fairly accurate? It will be used for long range shooting and hunting from 300 yds to 1000.Bullet weights from 210-250grs.

I was wondering if there was any reason why i never really see and rifles on here that are built in the 30-06 cal.??? is it that bad out to 1k?

i had a long action 700p in 300 wm that i haven't shot in over 5 years. i have been wanting to do a rifle build myself for quite some time and decided now is the time. after seeing the results of some gap built .284s during our local long range match i decided to build a .284 for myself. i...
