    Savage LRPV

    I am not a huge Savage fan, but the LRPV, single shot, in 6mmBR is powerfully appealing. The 6mmBR cartridge is very accurate, the rifle delivers on its reputed accuracy, and frankly, when shooting off the bench, I do like the right bolt left port design. Never tried it, but can see how it is...

    Budget mid range target rifle

    I have done exactly what you are trying to do, so let me share my experience and will include approximate costs. 1) Howa barreled action in 223. Bull barrel. Blued. $500. 2) Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist (style II) stock. $225. 3) Murphy Precision stainless steel (colored black)...

    Cheek Riser - Non Permanent?

    Thanks much! I really like the Bradley. Not sure it will fit the Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist stock. See my rifle below. Phil

    Cheek Riser - Non Permanent?

    Are there any recommended cheek risers that do not require permanent modification of the stock? Something that just fits on the top by adhesive, or...? Or is a strap & Velcro type arrangement the only option? I am not sure how secure the Velcro type arrangements are. If a Karsten is my only...

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    Hi Lynn, I am slowly finding people who have had some success through various approaches, including single stack mags. I definitely want the 6mmBR, it is my choice for next rifle. Thanks for the invite but this Sunday is Father's Day, so have stuff going on. Would like to come out at...

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    Nah. I've no idea what is the most accurate mag fed round for 100 - 600 yards. Nothing I have said would suggest I would know that. I wrote the post in this forum specifically because it is a tactical forum, using mag fed rifles, which Bench Rest people generally do not. The question is...

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    Yes, the shooting performance of my daughter and wife is disturbingly good. Thanks for the info on the 243. I am looking at it more closely and barrel life is a consideration. - Phil

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    I don't know what the "big flop" references, but no matter. I only mentioned the AR to show the other poster I invested heavily into the things he said were so important (shooting technique, rifle, ammo, scope, etc.), and that it has paid off by the rifle performance. The AR has a heavy...

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    I fully recognize the importance of shooting technique, quality barrel, properly aligned scope, quality ammo, etc. Believe me, my practice, advice from other shooters, high end expensive gun components, bedding, tedious scope alignment, Forster Co-Ax press, Sinclair measurement tools, higher...

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    A 223 is a good round, but think many would say it is no match for a 6mmBR or some other rounds in the 100 - 600 yard range. I am looking for the smallest groups in the X possible, while still being mag fed. I would also consider a wildcat cartridge, depending on how hard it would be to reload...

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    I am after a tight group that is centered on what I am aiming at. From the link you provided, that would be "high precision" and "high accuracy". From what I have understood, the 6mmBR and its variants are hard to beat, other than some specialized rounds like 6PPC, etc. I have shot a 308 a...

    Most Accurate Mag Fed Bolt Action Cartridge?

    The 6mmBR is widely regarded as one of the most accurate cartridges around , but since mag feeding with it looks iffy at best, what is the most accurate mag fed cartridge? This is just for target shooting only, at 100 - 600 yard max. Phil

    Howa Mag Fed 6mmBR?

    Has anyone modified or know how to go about setting up a Howa action to mag feed 6mmBR cartridges? I found some info on GeoVario LLC - Web Access, but not specific to Howa. Not sure what is required or if it is even possible, but if someone else has ventured down this round, would love to hear...

    Front Support: Accuracy vs Portability?

    I seem to be something between a BenchRest shooter and tactical person, interested in top accuracy but also not wanting to shoot a rifle that is all but locked down and can shoot "free recoil". I shoot at my local 100 yard range and am unsure of the impact of choices vs accuracy. I have a...

    Gunsmithing Base Bedding: Two Different Approaches

    I have a Howa action to which I am going to bed a Murphy Precision base (MurphyPrecision.com - Scope Bases, Rings, and Assorted Shooting Accessories.). I need to do this since with rear screws tightened down, there is a .006" gap between the front part of the base and the action. I can either...

    Can't Get AR-15 Ejector Back In

    I have a couple of AR small parts still lost in the garage, after being launched by some spring I forgot about. I wear safety glasses now, in case some part decides to take aim. Phil

    Can't Get AR-15 Ejector Back In

    Give me credit for the courage to answer your question with "YES". Courage to say I was incredibly dumb. For some inexplicable reason, I saw that little hook on the end of the ejector plunger and kept thinking extractor, even though I just removed the extractor. Man, I must be going senile...

    Can't Get AR-15 Ejector Back In

    Thanks for your reply. May I ask what do you mean by "clock the ejector"? My pin punch is .059". The roll pin is .060". It is not possible to get the punch to go through the hole. You can see a portion of the ejector in the hole. Not much, but enough apparently to block passage of the...

    Can't Get AR-15 Ejector Back In

    I took apart my AR-15 bolt and am stuck trying to get the ejector plunger, plunger spring, and retaining roll pin back together. I am using this Sinclair device to aid me. Sinclair AR-15 Bolt Vise | Sinclair Intl The screw pushes in on the ejector and spring, compressing them and holding...

    Vhitavouri N133 & Hodgdon H322 Too Fast for AR-15?

    I just started reloading and decided to try Vhitavouri N133 and Hodgon H322 for use in my AR-15 shooting Sierra #1400 53 grain flat base bullets with Winchester brass and Remington 7-1/2 primers. The previous case ejects fine, but 20% of the time (most often last case, but not always), the...
