Thanks for that link. While I have heard similar style studies done on the 22LR rimfire and the .223/5.56 cartridge with final conclusions that favor shorter 20" length barrels, I don't recall reading such studies for the larger 308 and 300win Mag cartridges. I personally just don't care for...

Along the lines of what barrel length were you thinking? The 7mmMag is a done deal. I only need to order the barrel. I dont want an excessively long and heavy bench based rifle. I was thinking something more along the lines of the long time proven Remington 700 police/sniper rifle in 300Win...

I finally broke down and placed a $500 order for an AR15 competition grade barrel, bolt, and other parts. It arrived today, and judging how they process orders, I have high hopes for the performance of this thing. We are talking "conscientious" here! The barrel was lubed, capped at the muzzle...

Amen.

This websight is VERY liberal in allowing most threads to remain, even when harsh words are exchanged. I never did read the "beer" thread, but remember the topic being posted. Frankly, I was surprised to learn later that it was deleted. In the number of years that I have been a member here, I...

In a nut-shell; READ, READ, READ.....LEARN, LEARN, LEARN. I almost guarantee you that for each question that you will have, you will find the answers on this sight and many other web sights in current discussion and especially in the archives. Books sure help too. Then with all the new found...

Thanks Mike. That's good info and reassuring too when it's coming from you.......never mind the thrill for me to return here to see a first real reply in 2 days. LOL It seems I've heard some guys on these forums and elswhere mention that it is practically a given to expect the POI to wander...

John, My past experince with the 600 and 1,000 yard guys is that they often shoot prone and will talk about their 4" to 9" groups. It's a different language and translates poorly with my goal to shoot 1/4" 5 shot 100 yard targets. No John....I really think the problem is that those really...

Oh Lord grant me patience. The dreaded one-liner! And this one ain't even funny. (Pardon me folks.....just thinking aloud as I wait)

Gentlemen, while I don't participate in actual Benchrest shooting, I still use very much the same equipment and hand tailored loads for my rifle, and seek premium accuracy from my rigs. Not sure if I should call them Varmint or Target Rifles, but I always seek 1/4" 5 shot groups if possible. I'm...

Understood. This is why I specifically requested a PM about it. And agreed, it's better for you to be clear about this policy before anybody makes the mistake of publicly posting the barrel manufacturer's name here on the thread.

I tried to contact Rustsud (Nat L.) a few days back by PM and ask him which barrel maker it was that sold him 5 bad barrels. I suppose he's entitled to some time off for thanksgiving, and I'm still waiting. But if anybody else here is familiar with his experience, and can tell me that you know...

Ahhhh....isn't that very interesting!! I know little about these rifles, and what you and Steve Nash say about them always being a SA (even when chambered for a normally LA cartridge) might very well be the case. This especially now makes even more sense to me being that I have seen photos of...

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=202328903 ......like I said, that I know of, in 30-06 and 300WinMag.

Look what they just finished bidding $155 + $16 shipping for at another websight. It's unfinished to the degree that it was listed as being able to be made into a SA or LA stock. (That gray filler is some kind of work that somebody had already done to it) Yes, it's a nice wood grain, but...

Thanks Kansas, I didn't think of checking Numerich until you mentioned it. I did just finish checking their websight to find 75% of 40X parts listed as "out of stock".....and not a single used stock to be found in ANY configuration with them.....not rimfire, not SA, and not the LA that I could...

The 40X stock will be used as a skeleton. I'm planning on a multi month project that will require radical reshaping involving the appliocation of autobody composites. It will be reshaped to a totally different contour.My problem is that I would need a varmint shape stock in long action to work...

I was wondering if I had the time and patience, if I could successfully widen an open an old Remington 40X stock with a magazine well, from short action to long action. (?) I do realize I would need to do some major bedding and glassing if it was at all possible. But, I just wanted to first make...

Excellent! Hovis, You know.....It's funny how I just finished purchasing a Sightron 8x-32x Mil-dot SF Slll scope from Midway at $100 discount. But now I'm getting ready to send it back. I carefully took it out of the box and compared it down-range to my Burris Black Diamond 8x-32x SF scope...

Hovis, if I use the new Burris rings with inserts to boost the zero out to say 800 yards, will it then be impossible to maintain a constant zero at 100 yards? (where I spend the most time doing casual target shooting) But, I guess the premium set-up is to at least be able to use these inserts...
