    Did MDT drop the ball?

    When I talked to MDT yesterday, he told me that the 30-06, 3.715 mag would not work but yet it’s printed 300 mag 3.715 on the metallic mag that came with my gun that makes no sense to me why it wouldn’t work, but he kept talking about different ways of measuring it using Different acronyms for...

    Did MDT drop the ball?

    I think I’m in the same boat with my proof research 7PRC rifle. It has a metallic 3.715 length five round magazine marked 3.715/300 mag that came with and I want a three round so I ordered a three round 7PRC poly mag but it measures 3850. I call MDT and they say they don’t make a three round...

    Brass donuts

    Does someone have an easy explanation between a doughnut and a clicker? If I understand this correctly, a donut is up on the neck and a clicker is down at the base by the rim?

    3.715 polymer 3 round mag?

    The top one that you sent from MDT I’ve got one of those in my hand and it measures 3.85. It’s too long the one from Springfield says that it’s 3.85 so it’s obviously too long as well. I don’t know about the other ones.

    3.715 polymer 3 round mag?

    I just purchased a Proof 7mmPRC with a 3.715 long metal mag. Does anyone make a 3 round Polymer mag? I just don't like that 5 rounder hanging out the bottom so far. I never shot 5 times at anything in my life. What are my options?

    Advice Please - Accuracy showed promise but fell apart on custom 7 mm PRC

    its only stupid if you don't know how or why to do it. if you have a rough spot in a barrel this will either fix it or not its very simple

    It’s not too complicated. You can buy the kit from Wheeler (Midway) FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY!!! Your basically taking very fine sand and mixing it with grease and coating your bullets then shooting them. I’ve had some bad barrels that it helped and others so bad it made no difference.

    Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

    Myself I borrow one from my friend if I need one, but it drives him nuts. He’ll call me on the phone talking about how bad they look and I’m like just shoot it if it shoots OK who cares what it looks like it could be smoothbore if it shoots good Quit worrying about it lol

    Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

    Bore scopes will drive you crazy the only time I use one is if I have a gun that absolutely will not shoot. If you’re just gonna go look at a barrel, you’re gonna drive yourself nuts if it shoots, don’t look at it lol.

    Have you ever thought about doing some fire lapping to see if you can get that rough spot smoothed down? I bought a brand new proof 7PRC yesterday and shot this 4 shot 100 yd group with it with no barrel break in. I’m about 80 rounds down the pipe in 2 days so far. Today I shot 200 yds with it...

    Barrel vice and action wrench kit?

    I just ordered an origin action and prefit barrel. I guess I need a wrench and a vice. Anybody make a decent kit they won’t break the bank for an occasional barrel swap.

    anyone bought a Zermätt Origin Action lately

    Am looking at A new budget short action and like the looks of the Origin action. What is the quality of these? Will I need to have a bunch of work done to it before I have a barrel put on it to be a shooter? Planning on using a Proof CF in 7mm SAW
