Gunsmithing So decided to remove my barrel....

Removed my first barrel of my Remy la 300wm. Bought it a while ago as a trued barreled action by a smith in PA. Low round count ~200. Unfired by me to date.

Main reason for disassembly was that the recoil lug was not properly clocked and it annoyed me. It also gave me a reason to make a barrel vise. So I proceed and make one to disassemble the action and really examine the quality of the truing job. The removal turned out to be a bear of a job! Rosen, paper, brass shims, Mapp heat- nothing worked but I persisted (thank you, 4 ft cheater bar) until I got it apart...2 hours later.

Firearms GAP M40A5 - Sold

I have a new GAP M40A5 spec rifle for sale. I ordered this rifle from GAP a number of years ago and I have never shot it. Looking to move it along. Rifle was built by Mark Hall. At the time of order, McMillan was not offering the older style 2 screw cheek piece system. When they were selling the conversion kits (2 screw system), I bought it with plans to send the stock back to McMillan to have them install. I never got around to it but will include the kit with the rifle so the new owner can do that if they wish. Rifle is built to spec minus 2 details; 1. cheek piece screw system (have kit for buyer), 2. Black Cerakote instead of black oxide (GAP only cerakotes). Will include 1 5rd magazine, QD sling swivels, and TIS cuff sling. There is currently a long wait time on these from GAP. There is one small mark on PGW rail from safe.

Price: $5500 shipped to your FFL.

First "I'll take it" trumps any PMs. Buyer must be willing to completed a Bill of Sale and their FFL must be willing to accept from an individual. Payment can be made thru Zelle, Venmo, Money Order or check (check must clear before rifle ships). I might consider paypal.

Mid-power FFP - Mark5, Razor gen II or Burris XTR III ?

I am looking for a mid-power (3-18 ish) scope for 800 yds and under target shooting and station hunting use.

Max budget is $2,000.
I believe I have narrowed it down to these three:
Mark 5 3.6-18
Razor Gen II 3-18
Burris XTR-III 3.3 - 18

most important:

- optical quality ( I’m very sensitive to CA)
- turret ease of use
- build quality
- FFP

not as important to me: weight, reticle

My questions:


1) I have handled the higher power versions of the Mark 5 and Razor, but I can’t find the mid range versions locally to see. Am I giving up anything major on optical quality with the 3-18 versions of these scopes?

2) of the three, which one would you go for and why?

3) Am I missing any obvious other options in the price range that would do better for my needs ?

Thanks,

GB

Barrel Heat - Diminished Accuracy or....

Save shooting my AR at 200 yards, I'm brand new to long range; just bought a B14 BMP in 6.5 CM, because of course that's what beginners get.
Anyway, I'm having some accuracy issues and can't afford $55 a trip only to chase my zero, like I did my last two range trips.
Here's what happened today. Because my ability to hit shit at the end of last range trip was FUBAR, I started by confirming what I thought was my 200 yard zero for Sierra MatchKing at 200 yards. I did this with 3, 2 round 'strings'. The hits in each string were nice and tight and close enough to fine tune a true zero. Except, when I threw a three round string at the target, my POI was quite a bit off from where I expected it, with a looser pattern than if I'd used a 12 gauge. So, being pissed about not hitting shit, I hammered 3 and 4 round strings until I finished the box of ammo (20 total rounds), with a couple of smoke breaks to cool myself and the gun. Shit was all over the place. Here's my question, followed by what I think is the issue. Can you get a barrel sufficiently hot in 20 rounds of 6.5 CM, slow fire to screw the pooch on accuracy?
BTW, my scope and mount are tight, with no changes from last range trip.

My ask is to potentially eliminate one cause in order to confirm what I think is the real one. The can I'm using on my gun is a Form 1 I built for use with my long 556 AR, and was bored fairly tight to that caliber. I really wanted to use this can, because it's the one best suited in my can library (nice big blast chamber, all heat treated baffles). I sourced a 6.5 alignment rod and everything just fit...barely. I'd attempted to disassemble the can multiple times to bore the cones larger, but the thing wouldn't budge. What I think is happening is the heat is expanding the cones, making the bores tight enough to screw my accuracy.

Any commentary / first hand experience on either front would be appreciated. In the meantime, the can in question is being boiled for an hour in the hopes of finally breaking down the Rocksett, so I can disassemble and re-bore.

Things I never thought my wife would say:

“Oh is that an AR-15? You need to get one!”
A once died in the wool liberal but she’s got some sense and she’s gotten into shooting since we got together. I was handling my dads PSA 5.56 when she made that comment.

I’m in the researching stage but wouldn’t mind some input. I don’t know how I’d like to set it up. I’d like to get into something for around $8-900 minus extra mags, ammo, etc. Any input on can/can’t live without? Things to look for/avoid?

Help me Decide: "Custom" Tikka CTR or Bighorn Orgin?

Hi all,
I have $1,000 burning a hole in my Venmo account that I think I want to put towards my first non-hunting bolt action. and would love input from others.

I occasionally shoot a local $600yd match run by @Hoser with my 224 Valkyrie AR15, which has a Rock Creek barrel and is a consistent sub MOA to half MOA rifle with my hand loads. I am not yet a consistent performer/wind reader with this in the match as it is hard to get down to Pueblo every month with family obligations. I have been biding my time on a new rifle build as I eventually want to do a really nice rig with a Terminus/Bartlein/top tier optic. However, we keep doing things like home improvement, investing, travelling and the gun keeps getting put off a bit.

I am at the point where perfection is the enemy of good and want to get something built that I can use to keep improving as a shooter. I will rarely have the opportunity to shoot much past 800-1,000 yards and don't anticipate ever competing much past local or regional matches. I think in the long run a 6mm in the 6BR/X/A family would be a good fit for my needs. If I go the "custom route" do I do that or stick Valkyrie for now given I have all the equipment/supplies and it is $.10-$.15 per round cheaper for me to load? Is the Origin/GM $415 better than the Tikka option, is the Krieger worth the extra $200? Apologies for the dissertation, would love to hear what you all think and if I am missing an all together better option.


Option 1, $1,785:
  • T3X CTR in 6.5CM
  • KRG Bravo
  • Yo Dave Spring
  • MPA Scope Mount
  • TBAC Brake
Option 2, $2,200:

Interior wall paint brands and thoughts

So I am slated to close on my fiancé and I’s first house on Monday and we want to repaint all the interior walls as they’re currently uglier than sin. We did some looking at Home Depot for some colors but I’m not sure how I feel about Behr or PPG. I have a Sherwin Williams next to the house we are in right now and was thinking about checking out their options and colors.

Those of you that have painted your homes, what paint brands have you used, what did you like or dislike about them and the experience over the years or months since painting with them? I want to do this once and while I don’t need a contractor grade paint, I also don’t want to hate my life while painting our home.

I appreciate any thoughts, experiences, and opinions on the matter!

High End Reloading Equipment

So I know this question will bring a plethora of different responses but I want to get other opinions before I venture down the road of buying the following high end equipment and spending a lot of hard earned money. First I should preface this question with the fact that I'm the kind of person that usually goes for the high end on my initial purchases just because I enjoy quality. I'm actually pondering the purchase of a Vudoo 22 rifle right now but there are also some reloading purchases that I'm contemplating. I'm also wondering if there's an alternate route that saves me some money but would still achieve my reloading goals. So there are three pieces of equipment that I'm contemplating the purchase of and they include the Area 419 Zero press, AMP Annealer and the AutoTricker V4 with FX-120i scale. I've been reloading for several years on an RCBS Rockchucker and the Hornady APS progressive press (for pistol). My reloading goals are two fold. First to increase my productivity when reloading my rifle ammo by speeding up the process without sacrificing quality and my second goal would be to maintain enough accuracy (1/2 MOA or better) in my reloads to shoot long range competitions such as PRS. I'm shooting a MPA PMR Pro rifle in 6.5 CM right now. The alternates to the AutoTrickler that I think could save me some money and still achieve my goals is to add another RCBS Chargemaster 1500 or Chargemaster Lite (maybe two of these) to my existing Chargemaster 1500. Also wondering if one of the alternate annealers would do the trick for annealing.

Loss of Zero. Please Help!

Hello everyone! I've been into LR shooting for just about a year now and could use some guidance.

I'm running a bergara rifle with a gen 2 Pst and Nightforce rings. The rifle holds zero for the duration of every range trip, but when I head back to the range to confirm zero on paper, everytime the zero has shifted about 1 to 2 inches. I always confirm everything is torqued to spec. I also am using the same handloads as always.

It is a serious pain wasting ammo to re-zero every range trip and I'm at a loss as to what can cause this. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can give to solve the problem.

I've searched for other threads on the topic without success. If you can forward me to a forum which covers this in great detail, it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!

Gunsmithing Barrel chambering- counter-bore

I'd be very surprised if this hasn't been covered- I didn't find it searching, but probably am using the wrong terms-

Just getting into working with the lathe and am going to chamber a few practice barrels before I go at my expensive one. I was told by a guy that he just skips the "counter-bore" when working on a 700 and does it like a Savage. He claims that it doesn't cause any issue. With just a little thinking on it I came up with a few possible issues- (other than safety in a case failure). There would be less threads engaging the action- and it would probably make single feeding more difficult.

In any case I want to do it the right way- but it did get me thinking. When you guys do a Savage or a Bighorn with a shouldered barrel do you counter-bore them or is there something preventing this from being the case. Maybe not enough threads on the action or with the savage the locking lugs may be to large to give enough room. My Origin prefit looks like it would have room for it- but wasn't done. What say you?
