    Picking up a 300WM and questioning the S20

    I am ready to pull the trigger (groan) on a budget 300WM build. I'd like to pick up the rifle (stock, action, Barrel, ready to shoot but not optic or rings) for about $1500. After shopping around on Eurooptic, I was thinking the Sako S20. Until I started tooling around on the 'hide in depth...

    Sako S20

    Has one of our many gunsmith members not taken one apart to assess it yet? When a Remington 700 "didn't shoot well" it was often the assembly of a variety of manufacturing tolerances combining in a poor way. Hence a variety of aftermarket blueprinting services. Is this just poor tolerances...

    Sako S20

    Are you still not able to order the 2-stage trigger separately and have a gunsmith install it?

    Grayboe Phoenix or KRG Bravo

    @larryh128 - out of curiosity, what drives you crazy about the cheekpiece? it seems to be the most cited weak point of the bravo, and the first time I am hearing it on the Grayboe. What did you think of fit and finish?

    Tikka shortage?

    Eh, we get it, guys, you dont like .308. The OP does. The OP has investment already in the caliber. The OP is trying to find a gun in that caliber. 6.5 is a great offering. No question. It's not the one true caliber for all uses. As a guy who has a 308 CTR sitting right next to me on...

    Tikka shortage?

    Close matches on GB for sale right now... the T3 tactical has a different mag and a slightly heavier barrel profile, but also could be had quickly for you :) https://www.gunbroker.com/item/897008777 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/898234420

    Grayboe Phoenix or KRG Bravo

    Amen! I work for Microsoft, my problem isn't the top line pay, its the wife who thinks we need chickens, goats, raised garden beds, ducks, a duck pond, some concrete and infrastructure in the barn and.... But. For the first time in our marriage, she didnt fight me on buying a new gun this...

    Grayboe Phoenix or KRG Bravo

    The game Warden is nice but expensive and a long wait. The bravo is apparently quite popular.

    Someone's motivation pic from 2012 reminds us what it was before range trips cost $51,321 a month in ammo.

    Grayboe Phoenix or KRG Bravo

    After a few years behind my mostly OEM Tikka T3 CTR, its time to part ways with the stock. TLDR: would you rather buy the KRG Bravo and "have it now" or wait 2 months and pay a little more for a Grayboe Phoenix? In an ideal world, I would spend 800 or less on the replacement stock, have it...

    Looks like Bergara is coming out with a new precision chassis rifle.

    Why are they hunting podiums? Do they cook well on the smoker?

    Safe Hygrometer

    Makes sense - definitely adding desiccant of some kind - probably initially doing bucket o silica, and then moving back to the rod once I get the electric cleaned up in the shop. Does it make sense to monitor humidity with the hygrometer? Or skip, its just another useless thing?

    Hey from the Pacific Northwest

    Howdy - and I hope you get out of the Seattle area soon, I've spent enough time there for work that I can appreciate the struggle and don't ever want to live there.

    Safe Hygrometer

    Do you have a hygrometer sitting in your safe to monitor humidity? Bought some land and for the first time have a nice "shop" space to bolt down the safe. It will be less climate controlled than the house, but... its Colorado so its pretty dry here. Thinking maybe add a hygrometer to the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns P229 Legion IWB Holster

    The thread almost says it all. RH appendix carry. Must not have kydex touch skin. My personal favorite isn't available for a P229 with rail. I typically like the Cobra gunskin: https://cobragunskin.us/product/the-grabber-style-x2/

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for bedside home defense pistol...of these 3...

    FNX is a great gun. My night/bedroom gun just got upgraded for a rail, I'm definitely a big fan of a handgun w/rail mounted light. Others have said the truth here: get what you enjoy. If you liked the trigger and grip of the FNX, get it and don't look back :)

    Any advice for me on dealing with Gang Bangers?

    Yep. It used to be that when a large department ran across a local gang splinter, etc, that was employing former LE, or even trained security guards that "went where the money is", that it was splashed about. Webcasts, intel bulletins, case studies were done on it, so that other departments...

    Any advice for me on dealing with Gang Bangers?

    You asked several questions, it's really a couple of things. This may be TLDR for some but you asked.... 1) There's money in drugs. It's a captain-bozo-class obvious statement, but it's still a fundamental truth that drives the whole ecosystem. 2) Where money is, people want to make money...
