    Custom Action for Hunting Rifle?

    I would like to do my first build for a hunting rig. I currently have R700 long action that I picked up for $300 for the donor. I'm now toying with the idea of using a custom action. The rifle will be chambered in 280AI. What custom actions would be considered a good reliable choice for a...

    Identifying the cause of my Bullet Runout

    Need some advice on where to go next. I'm thinking that the problem is my seating die. Here's the situation. I'm getting runout of .007 to .012 on some reloads for my 30-06.
