Help Needed - The Curse of the "Free" Gun continues- Stiller Vs Defiance & other 700 action clones

You may be better served by reassembling the parts you have into two rifles for two different purposes.

The two new barrels you ordered will fit the existing action, but are unlikely to fit a new action with different threads and headspace.

What you have now would not be my choice for hunting. It's fine for hitting steel a long way away, but the new, lighter barrels do not complement that use.

Rethink, starting with what purpose you want this rifle to serve.

Good luck.
I should have also mentioned that the barrels are simply blanks.

Help Needed - The Curse of the "Free" Gun continues- Stiller Vs Defiance & other 700 action clones

Thank you Hawk- I do plan to repurpose the this action that I will be replacing. I understand that my rifle is heavy for hunting at just under 12.5LBS with all the accessories, but I have come to terms with that. A lighter bipod and bag rider etc can shed over 1.5 LBS. More regularly this gun is to shoot steel far away. However it is the rifle that I plan to take to Alberta on a Mule Deer hunt in November and likely other hunts.

Arresting sober drivers for profit got so out of hand TN passed a new law in 90days

Abolish “Qualified Immunity”

Require ALL legal settlements to come straight from LEO benefits and department operating funds. Make the actual offenders pay from their own pocket.

Form a National LEO “Do Not Hire” database resource for any job with POST powers.

No more “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.” ALL “internal affairs” and agency policies are handled by civilian oversight. No LEO/LEAs.

Abolish the cruel joke of “Paid Administrative Leave.”

Abolish police unions.

Aggressively investigate and prosecute LEO mafias.

Criminally prosecute liars who fabricate statements and “evidence.” Make it a felony so the liars can never own a gun or hold any LE/POST job.

That’s a good start.

Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

Short story, but I have my first warranty issue with the March, and I think it's probably because someone at Eurooptic took the right side windage out of the box to put on another optic, just my theory. But it was missing when I got the scope. I called Eurooptic and they said they would take care of it. Anyways got this email from March a week later. So thus far seems like they are taking care of me, this is much better than the experience I had with leupold many years ago.



We received an email from the dealer informing us that the windage turret cap was missing from your scope.
We have shipped the cap today via Japan Post using small packet service.
Please kindly accept the delivery when it arrives.
We sincerely apologize for forgetting to include the cap.
Thank you for your patience until it arrives.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Typed is different than in person i agree :). Just sounded a bit weird but generally i agree that % of decent folks is really low in “core EU” and one (decent person) cannot be friends with average European nowadays.

But i’d take you guys for a friend also as people here do seem decent some sick little puppies in need of various “tinctures” for medication but decent :).

On the serious side i think by the dynamics on the front its game over regardless of US actions but i think Z will keep going until he is snuffed by his own.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Best value in a clay gun?

I've been shooting clay target sports since the mid '90s, and have bird hunted since I was old enough to not get kicked on my ass by a single shot 20ga Stevens. I have a couple of Beretta shotguns, both 390s and 680 series O/U.

My advice for someone just getting into the game of clay targets would be to find a used
390 or 391 Sporting model with a 28" or 30" flat rib (with screw chokes).
These guns have shims that are located where the stock meets the receiver and where the stock bolt tightens up against the stock.
They can be adjusted for cast on/cast off and comb height by changing the shims.
Beretta also makes 3 different recoil pad thicknesses to adjust length of pull.
It enables the gun to be adjusted to fit you by swapping inexpensive parts.

Properly maintained, you can not wear these guns out unless you shoot a LOT of targets.
Once you decide that, yeah, I'm hooked in this sport, then go looking for a dedicated target O/U shotgun.

Either gun can be easily picked up for less than a grand if you do a little looking around.
What ever gun you choose, make sure you go somewhere where you can try a number of guns to see what fits and feels good.
Talk to someone who know about shotgun fit. If it doesn't fit, it won't shoot where you point it.

If you were in Texas, I would recommend going to the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio during a major event.
Vender row will have multiple dealers and manufacturers with guns that can be demo'd.
Maybe you have something similar near you
Best of luck

.308 Winchester

This is where I'm at with this. I have no desire to run 80K psi loads through my action and barrel consistently, and if I'm not doing it consistently, I have no use for it.

There needs to be far more data made available on the stress this puts on the action and barrel over years of repeated firings before I would entertain making this a consistent load through one of my rifles.
I feel much the same. Besides, if one is after higher velocity and/or more energy delivered, there are plenty of calibers to choose from.

But, I can see where the military would have a particular interest in a cartridge and can deliver those things, especially an ability to better penetrate body armor, out of a shorter barrel in a gun that weighs less and less unwieldy than heavier guns. And that can be attractive to some hunters too???

BnA Tacsport X vs PRO

I had several pros and then bought a regular tacsport on the px. The pro break is better, it's like someone pulled the rug out from under you. The top sear just provides a better fit to individual actions, to get perfect cocking piece engagement without being too much(drag) or too little(drops fp). Call bullet central, they will install whatever top sear you need for your action. This saves the 38.00 that an additional top sear would cost you.

Simple solution. 20 years hard time. Gotta start making an example of arsonists - man/woman/alien. But 20 years, no parole, super max prison...see how these young communists like that shit!! She did a real crime, she wasn't just in the same vacinity as the crime (thinking J-6rs). Actions like this need to be nipped in the bud. Go ahead, protest the dealership all day long - but you cannot commit arson.
Correct me if I am wrong please. As far as I know, deadly force is allowed to stop an arsonist.
