Worth it to have the action trued
I had an old flat back 110 trued and timed by Sharp Shooter Supply. I didn't do it for accuracy reasons, I did it to smooth up primary extraction and bolt manipulation. As expected there was no real discernable difference in accuracy after the work (it was already a really good shooter) but the... -
Cartridge for 18" barrel?
Maybe I missed it in the thread, what is the final weight on this beauty? -
Which handgun as a backup?
Thankfully no :) I did pick up a S&W 915 in a trade for and old rifle I wasn't using, it's a little on the heavy side for packing around but it's fun to shoot. -
Learning to build a rifle
I highly recommend "Gunsmithing Modern Firearms". It's a fabulous book that teaches you about all kinds of DIY gunsmithing projects. Really a great read! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/151071880X -
Deer - lets see em
I got a Halloween buck in New Mexico this weekend with my CVA Optima muzzleloader. He made me crawl 50+ yds across open country to get into range. -
What Would Be Your Rifle of Choice for Such an Adventure
If going bolt action what about something in the vein of Cooper's scout rifle? -
Barrel Break-in
I follow Erik Cortina's method for breaking in a barrel, which is to say he doesn't. A barrel does speed up for the first 80-100 rounds so I guess that's a "break in" but I clean it as needed not using a prescribed formula. -
6.5 cm hate?
You guys know that the magic isn't is the "6.5" part of the name it's all in "Creedmoor", right? As long as it's a "Creedmoor" it can do anything. For example the 6mm Creedmoor makes the 243win look like an ancient pile of dung. 😜 Fun thread! Merry Christmas!- mrjashu

My new, still-in-the-box .280 AI.
This is a really cool project. Would you mind posting a list of the tools/parts you're using? This is something I've been wanting to try myself. -
Nathan foster’s website? Any opinions?
I have read all of Nathan's books (except the most recent one which I think is more of a memoir) and consider him to be somewhat of an authority as his documented kill count is in the 1000s. BUT.... You have to realize he's mostly approaching bullet terminal performance from a long range...- mrjashu

Howa 6mm creedmoor project
Well I couldn't stand it, I bought a Bell and Carlson stock so I can shoot it ASAP. Microfit stocks have a lead time and it would take me a while to finish it so I wouldn't get to shoot this baby for a while if I went that route. I can still do it for a fun project later on. But for right now... -
Howa 6mm creedmoor project
Hello everyone, I couldn't pass up the super deal Brownells ran over the Labor Day weekend. $250 for a Howa barrelled action chambered in 6mm creedmoor. I'm thinking about using this as basis for a bit of project to do some DIY experimenting. Try Duracoating the action and barrel Get and... -
Leupold 15x56 BX-5 my thoughts
I totally agree, that's how I look at it as well. I wouldn't pay the full $1400 for them, I'd go Meopta for basically the same price. -

I submitted the rebate, we'll see if it goes through. If it does what a deal!
