    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    I had all of my SBRs engraved at a local trophy store. Very professional machine engraving and he had the right stuff to blacken the exposed aluminum to match the rest of the receiver.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Ordered Jul 31 23, shipped Dec 26 (Santa’s elves were on it this year). It all worked out - the lead times were similar for the barrel and stock so it all kind of arrived at once after 5 months of waiting. The delayed gratification makes it sweeter, I swear.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Well I had my first child and decided to shrink a stable of rifles (and associated reloading equipment) down to one “do-all” centerfire rifle in a factory caliber. I figured I wouldn’t be shooting as much and I could use the cash, pretty happy with how this project turned out. After reading...

    XM3 clone build.

    I came really close to building a full clone, and then welched out anyways because I’m a lefty and it wouldn’t be accurate. A couple of neat learnings along the way though and I built a rifle that was conceptually similar (short, handy, suppressed) when it was all said and done. One interesting...

    ARC Coup de Grace Builds

    Did anyone else have issues with a gritty feel during extraction? Happy with how the rifle shot but certain rounds (FGMM 140 / Hornady 147) felt like they really dragged coming out.

    Rifle Scopes Does long road trip cause a shift in zero ??

    We had an inexplicable wandering zero on a friends rifle - we had mounted the scope, rings torqued tight, blue locktite, Nightforce scope and rings, just couldn’t get to the bottom of it. Ultimately right before sending the rifle back to Christensen we found the screws from the action to the...

    Do these number look right to you? 223 reloading data.

    Did you try it without the mandrel just doing .003 of neck tension vs .001? Sometimes guns like more tension. Also how did you get to the powder charge? I’d try a ladder for ES there too, maybe a small adjustment burns more consistently.

    Aadland Engineering Still in business?

    Just had a set of Aadland caps deliver Saturday - I ordered them on 3/9, didn’t get any communication between the order notice and the ship notice on 3/23. Caps looked great when they arrived!

    16” 6.5 creedmoor?

    RL26 ran some wildly fast numbers for me in 6.5 with no pressure signs, although out of a 22” barrel with a Sandman L. Worked up load was 2850 with a 140 Hybrid. Book max shot 2925 although the primer looked like an accident waiting to happen. Berger stated over the phone their max was 2917...

    ARC Coup de Grace Builds

    Just finished my CDG build - going down from a handful of centerfire rifles to one (just had a kid, budget and time constraints) so I tried to build a good do-all rifle. I originally was going to build a full out XM3 clone but decided to make a few technological upgrades along the way while...

    300 prc

    What magazine setup are you using? I had a .050 jump with a Saami reamer and 245 Bergers at CIP+ detachable mag length (3.850). 230s I forget the exact measurements but it was still a solid jump. 245s shot great though. Ended up shooting best at a .100 jump.

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    In that case, less rifle is more. I got rid of my 300 PRC because I never got to dial more than 5 mils of elevation on it. I have more fun with my Vudoo at 200-300 yds than I do with my centerfire rifles under 800. Even a 223 might not really challenge wind reading and let you spin the dials at...

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    Now that is a serious setup! What timeframe? I have a friend whose an old timer from the range, and it just blows me away how much harder they had to work in the 90s - hand loading everything on neck turned brass, etc. The level of factory accuracy and convenience (prefits, match ammo) just...

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    It depends if you’re in it for the achievement in or in it for the joy of it. I don’t have a trophy case worth a damn but I don’t think I’ve ever wasted a minute behind a rifle, and the friends I’ve made along the way have greatly enriched my life. If you’re looking for achievement - there...

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    Great chance to chase the dragon, as they say! Soon I’ll have a rifle that should match the one hole 3 shot group my first rifle shot. 4 rifles later.

    Should I sell my SVD for???

    I missed a $450 PSL with scope in 2008. It might as well have been $4500, as broke as I was at the time. I still kick myself for not scraping the funds together.
