    Never owned a true precision/marksman/long range bolt action...First one

    The projectiles that you load 300 BLK are not ideal for 308, but if that doesn't matter to you, you could make them work in a 308

    Never owned a true precision/marksman/long range bolt action...First one

    Depends on what you want out of the rifle. Since you don't want to sink a ton of money into it I'd get a Tikka T3x Compact Tactical Rifle (CTR) in 6.5 Creedmoor. 6.5 CM is just as easy to load as 308, if not easier, components cost less and the rifle has about 40% less recoil and 40% less wind...

    Understanding the current Accuracy International market

    This AW belonged to one of my best friends and we sold a bunch of guns through Lock Stock and Barrel. The gun was in great condition with a bunch of extras, but we were surprised by the bidding and the ending price. I sold an 08 AW with OEW 308 barrel, original OD thumbhole stocksides...

    Unknow optic

    Guys, your jokes are funny, but I'd give him the benefit of doubt. He's new to the site and from Romania. Which if you're in Europe you have probably never seen a scope with minute of angle adjustments. Minute of angle is just another angular measurement. A minute of angle, in short form, is...

    M1 Grand Stretched Brass?

    That Russian ammo may or may not be suitable for an M1 Garand, I don't know. The Garand's design make it sensitive to excessive gas port pressures, excessive gas port pressure, besides beating the action unnecessarily, can cause a bent operating rod, which you don't want. The Garand was designed...

    Barrel vise bushing?

    I have a Short Action Customs barrel vise and per their instructions, I wrap my barrels where they are clamped in a couple layers of drywall tape before clamping and it works well and leaves no marks on the barrels.

    Why AI?

    I used to have an AW bought in 2010 and initially the bolt lift was a little rough. I took 1000 grit sandpaper for metal and smoothed up the cocking cams on the bolt. Just a few passes, not enough to affect the heat treatment of the surface and it both lightened and smoothed up the bolt...

    .223 Action Options

    For me, I would not buy any action today that I couldn't get prefit barrels for. Otherwise you will need to send in your action to whatever gunsmith you choose everytime you get a new barrel, and with UPS and Fedex's new rules prohibiting us from shipping firearms (now they both only accept...

    .223 Action Options

    My 223 has a 24" 1-7 twist M24 countour PVA Rock Creek barrel on it and I'm shooting 75 Hornady BTHPs and 77 Sierra MKs coming out the barrel around 2750 fps. My home range only goes to 880 yds and I'd say that the rifle does well out to around 700 but beyond that in the wind things get a little...

    .223 Action Options

    I'd also consider the American Rifle Company Nucleus or Coup de Grace actions. Today the Coup de Grace is still on it's introductory pricing and is actually cheaper than the Nucleus and it has more features and options built into it.

    Around 1987 my LGS had a Steyr AUG for sale for $600, I almost bought it but talked myself out of it.

    ARC Nucleus Gen 2 Sear Issues

    When you lift the bolt handle, you are cocking the rifle on open but until the bolt is closed, the striker is held to the rear by the cocking cams on the bolt body. The sear on the trigger does not engage the cocking piece until you close the bolt. Some actions might have a little cock on close...
