If I bought a Accuracy Int. .338 and later decided to upgrade to a .375/408 could I do it with this rifle?

I'm cheap. Unfortunately Remington doesn't make the rifle I want. Soooooo.... i am going to buy the cheapest thing that they make with an appropriate barrel and and go from there. The problem I have, is there any difference between the actions or barrels (other than length and contour)from a...

In the short time I have been here I have seen these same questions several times. I have asked a couple of them myself. Maybe if some of you more knowledgeable than I that have been here longer can add to this it can be made a "sticky"??? What do you all think? TORQUE AICS Action screws 53.1...

so, I almost bought my first rifle- a marlin bolt action, with a thumb hole (i want to say the 917vt) but, as I was filling out the forms out, I found out it didn't use .22 lr, it used .17 hmr; from what i've heard, that's a superior round (flatter trajectory, higher velocity), however, it's...

I would like to build a ELR rifle. I understand that their are a lot of actions you can build a .338 Lap Mag with. I think it is more limited for the .375/408. What would be the best action to use for building each of these calibers and why? Is it possible to build a .375/408 repeater, or...

Im thinking about buying a semi. I am almost completely sold on a M1A or similar. I Think they look sexy as hell. That and the nostalgic throwback, really might be enough for me. With the introduction of newer aftermarket stock choices, can they be made reliably accurate? Can the barrels free...

I'm sorting out my bedding process for my build. I plan on using Devcon steel putty. I have a FN SPR action with the factory detachable magazine and a McM A3 adjustable stock with machined in pillars. I've read the 6mbrr bedding topic and the long post in here. Both are installing pillars at...

I am planning to move soon and may move across the country and was wondering how do I move with several guns? I will fly from alabama to oregon (unless something changes) and since I own very little stuff I was going to ship/mail my belongings. Can I mail the guns that I own to myself without an...

Hi all. First off, thank you for all the great information on this site. I have been searching the site for the past few days and finally narrowed down my optic choices. I want either a Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50 AO Mildot (new 30mm tube) or Crossfire 4-16x50 AO Mildot. The rest of the set up...

I've just assembled my first AR-15 lower and have some questions: 1. On the bottom of the receiver are 2 screw holes. One accepts the long screw for the pistol grip. There is another hole right next to it with a large Allen head screw in it. It doesn't appear to serve any particular purpose...

I recently purchased a 300 WSM custom rifle built by Ryan Kelsey at Christensen Arms. I loaded up some hand loads and at 100 yards I shot 4 shots and I got a .182 group ( center to center.). Now if my math is correct, this is a sub 1/4" moa gun or ??? I actually think I can improve on this group...

I bought a customized savage 10FP of another hide member and took it too the range the other day. I shot some 7.62x51 NATO ammo. With the first round fired I had pressure signs and the same with the second round and the case stuck in the chamber. After having problems with those two I switched...

Gents, what factory loaded ammo would you recommend for a 34 inch Lilja (1/15 twist) on a McBros single shot action? I intend to reload for it in the future but would like to send some hate downrange when im home next in the mean time. Ball ammo weight/manufacturer? AP/API? Thunder Ammo worth...
