Dura-coat or not to dura-coat that is the question. and what colors..... Stiller predator action, Brux heavy palma 1-8.5 260 24" threaded 5/8-24. Badger bottom metal, Mcmillan m70 stock, NF 5.5-22

i currently own a remington 700 sps varminter .308 that i have over $1,500 invested in and as most rifles it shoots on average 3/4 moa withmatch ammo on a good rest. i am thinking of selling to fund another project. i have only owned this one remington all my other bolts have been savage and i...

So after selling some things off, and talking with my father he finally wants to get a precision/target/distance varmint style AR! I myself have a bushmaster Varminter 1:9 twist which will be used for shots inside 400 yards on varmints. Now I have been trying to talk the father into something...

Bought the rifle, scope and rings here on the hide. Rifle was built by Eric Reid. Rifle shoots way better than me. Trigger is the lightest trigger I have ever used, set up beautifully. Ammo used was factory Federal Gold Match. 1st target was zeroing the S&B. Used Lowlights feeler gauge method to...

As promised, here are pics of my 99.8% complete build: I am very pleased with the lower,IRA did a fantastic job with these. If it looks kind of familiar it's because I basically swapped the IRA for the DPMS lower that I had. A few other small changes were made as well, here are the...

Guys, I have my 10FP at Kevin Rayhill's waiting on a .308 WIN Benchmark barrel. I have never spec'd a "tactical" rifle before and I want to double check my decisions with y'all. I'm having him turn the barrel to a Sendero profile, 24" long and 0.95" diameter at the muzzle. Is this too heavy? I...

got a badger LA going in a AICS

I have been blessed with a deal($250) on a new mcmillian htg stock. It has a barrel channel for a douglas #5. Is that enough barrel for a 338lm? I bought an action from a hide member to build off of, but I think I'm going to go with a Stiller instead so it will be back for sale soon.

I am having George and crew build me a spec M40A1. I don't know if I should just let him roll with it or should I request a specific reamer? I handload my own ammo so this is why I am asking. I will mainly be launching SMK 175's.

Ever have a plan that looks great on paper but doesn't look so good in person? I had a hankering for a molded in Tiger Stripe patterned stock for my last BAT MB build. All my other rifles have A-5 Tactical stocks but I wanted one BR stock for development work. I selected a McMillan Tooley MBR...

I have a Browning A-Bolt Comp. Stalker chambered in .30-06. I see a lot of members here building LR setups off of the Rem. 700 action is this the only actions recommended for builds? Is there anyone out there who has or knows of anyone that has rebarreled an accurized a Browning?

Just got the barreled action home for my new toy. I ordered it 7 months ago!!! So damn happy but my JAE-100 stock should be here in two weeks. LRB M25 R/L receiver Krieger Heavy wt. s/s 1:10 twist Sadlak Titanium gas piston Sadlak N/M Spring Guide Springfield...

okay from a friend , and fellow hide member, i am getting a 1970's model, Winchester 70 long action its an original 22-250 varmint , walnut stock, but i thought of doing either 30-06 or a 6.5x55swede or .308 i have the reloading stuff (bullets, brass, dies, etc., for .308) i do...

I have a 7mm Mag and a 243AI being built at the moment (the ackley is gonna be a very light predator rifle #3 barrel contour), I am trying to decide on a caliber to do most of my shooting. I really don't like the 308, I have a 243 bolt face that will be used on the build. I had originally...

Folks, here is a pictoral we made of a Savage 10FP Lefty build. More Pics!

Right, cat and pigeon time. Building a Tactical rifle, got a few choices but want a few second opinions. First calliber it.s going to be 6.5x47, dont argue,seen the results and its scary. Got a .308 rem 700 feel like something diferent. second, got oddly spade like hands so find the AICS...

With a full tactical build underway, I am turning my attention to my next build and wanted advice from the smartest group of people on the planet. I think I want a lightweight (very lightweight) rifle for hunting that is not like humping a 14 lb brick all day in 100+ degree heat. I enjoy...

Ok...so the weather was really nice here today. So I set out to sight in the new POF gas piston build. I load up the car with all the needed items and head to the local BLM range. I get setup and do a few 25yrd "get on paper" shots them move the target stand to 100yrds. Here are some of my...

Here is what I have at my gunsmith right how: 1. 24" Mike Rock 5R barrel with 11.27 twist, bead blasted to match action 2. The new round bottom short Surgeon action (from the SH group buy) in 308 with recoil lug, 20MOA scope base, and chromed bolt 3. Jewell trigger 4. Seekins DBM 5. Bell and...

Here are a couple photos of a 1911 that I built for Ken Hackathorn. He was pleased with the results. I was honored to build a pistol for him. His 1911 collection is quite extensive. His knowledge of the 1911 is even more extensive than his collection. And the man himself with his new...
