    Primos Trigger Stick

    I reached out to Primos warranty dept. Lets see what they say.

    7 PRC and Magnum Powder

    I have learned over the years that "good enough for what I am doing" is increasingly becoming my load development method. I was told many years ago by one of my MTU buddies- pick a load that gets you close to what you want accuracy wise, then load a ton of it and just go shoot-learn the load...

    Primos Trigger Stick

    I am hoping maybe that was the case. If not, I am really disappointed in the brand, they make pretty good stuff but this one kind of ruined that for me. I need to give them a call and see what they say. . If they don't want to make good I am going to probably re machine the parts of the head...

    Primos Trigger Stick

    I have been looking for a solid Bi Pod style shooting stick to replace my Vangard set because my new stock forend does not fit the V head very well. I have tried trekking poles, monopods and thought maybe the Gen 3 Trigger Stick might work. Boy was I wrong, what a POS! The trigger lock does not...

    7 PRC and Magnum Powder

    Alliant stopped all production of certain canister grade powders for the reloading market back in 2024. Reloader 26 was one of the first to disappear from the shelves. If you have some, best hold onto it for special hunts. I have found N565 to get you pretty close to the same velocity and...

    Powder scale rcbs balance beam bad?

    If the pivot points or the knife edge on the beam that rides in the pivot point gets dusty or dirty, it transfers that friction to the beam and the weight is off, not much but noticeable. I clean mine with pure IPA and a optical swab (leaves no fibers). I also have mine set up to be as close to...

    Is a custom rifle worth it

    Kind of like why the British teach every soldier to shoot right handed- very few recruits have firearm experience, so its just easier to make them all learn right handed. New shooters have no preconceived habits or skills that need to be un learned and tend to listen to somebody trying to coach...

    Is a custom rifle worth it

    I have to laugh, I see so many people at competitions that seem to think that they can buy first place. Always have the top of the line gear, total gearheads, but poor scores are always bad scope, bad barrel, need a better stock/chassis, new trigger, Garmin/Kestrel/ballistic App was...

    Is a custom rifle worth it

    I guess it depends on what you're calling a custom rifle. I call a custom rifle one that's built from the assembled parts purchased separately. Since I am a rifle builder, that's 99% of anything that comes out of my shop. Is it worth it, I would say yes in the fact that you get what you want...

    Deer - lets see em

    The 2025 White Tail season ended with success. The 280ai I built for the 2026 moose hunt works great for deer.

    Anybody know where to buy Hesco MIL-style barriers in the US?

    LOL, we saw that almost nightly in Iraq. Was comforting to know that at some point the damn things were going to come back down.....someplace. Gotta love overhead cover at those times

    Anybody know where to buy Hesco MIL-style barriers in the US?

    We built our backstop with two rows of tires, fill each layer with dirt then stack on another layer. Figure about 10 layers high and back fill with dirt behind them to keep them up. We put down several layers of plastic sheet to minimize the ground water leaching from the tires. Works great and...

    280 AI help

    You are like me, chose a short barrel when I probably should have gone an inch or two longer. I have tried every bullet/powder combo I can get my hands on and right now the 160 Accubonds with either Reloader 26 or N560 are shooting just under 3000fps (N560 gets 2942fps, SD of 9, RE 26 gets 2953...

    New stock for an old shotgun?

    I used to do a lot of stock work. Send me some pictures of what you have. Refinishing is a heck of a lot easier and cheaper than fitting a new stock from a blank. Some rifle stock I have done took over 140 hours of hand work to fit and finish...so starting with something already fit to the...

    280 AI vs. 7 PRC

    280AI, Impact NBK action, H&S Precision stock, 22" Bartlein barrel, Trigger Tech trigger and Vortex optics. Shoots little groups with 160gr and 145gr bullets, N560 or Reloader 26, right at 3000fps. Swap barrels and Bolts and I can configure it to 300WSM or 338 Edge, 257 Roberts AI or 6.5x284.

    any experience with turret stickers?

    Use them on quite a few scopes. Makes life during a PRS match and some hunting applications, much quicker and easier to see.

    Superior 7MM?

    I built exactly that same combo, one as primary and one as the backup for a Moose hunt next Sept. The cases are very close in capacity, so the same powder and charge with the same bullet work in either rifle. The 280ai has a 22" 1-7 twist fluted stainless on an Impact LA NBK and the 7RSAUM has a...

    Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?

    LOL...trust me I get those in the shop all the time, unfortunately its usually after they get a baffle strike and they ruin an expensive piece of kit. 99% of the time, they fit fine, but if the threads on the barrel are not in tolerance, the chances of having misalignment goes up greatly. I just...

    Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?

    You don't cut the threads on the adapter until it is permanently/solidly attached to the barrel. That way, you indicate the bore concentric in the lathe, then cut your threads on the barrel, attach the adapter and lock it down, re indicate the bore to make sure it did not shift, then thread the...
