    Suppressors FNG when it comes to suppressors, some advice would be appriciated

    Welcome to Bell County, Texas sir, do yourself a favor and drive east, I promise it's a nice place, just not Killeen/Hood. I've got a couple of cans you are welcome to come check out and fire. I km about 30 minutes NE of Hood just off I-35. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Factory .308 loads. What are the most accurate available

    I've had wonderful luck with Hornady, any of their loads with the 168 AMAX, the custom load and the TAP shoot the same for me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Palmetto State Armory PA 10...

    I'm building one slowly right now, so I can't tell you what kind of accuracy you can expect, but my experience with AR platform rifles tells me that a quality barrel, headspaced to the bolt, will shoot, regardless of the brand name of the aluminum parts they are mounted to. As far as PSA...

    What chambering would you go with?

    And you were the one who apparently didn't read the original post, which specifically stated I was looking for a 25 or 27 caliber chambering. HINT If I wanted a (another) 6, 6.5 or 7mm rifle, I'd have said so. I appreciate your knowledge, experience input, but as it's not relevant to my...

    What chambering would you go with?

    I get it, different strokes for different folks I guess. I use every rifle in my collection, some more than others and for different purposes, but they all get shot. I've got home defense rifles, SBRs, kid guns, trainers, long range target rifles, medium range hunting rifles, run and gun...

    What chambering would you go with?

    I don't disagree with a word you said. There's a reason so many folks are buying the factory built "match" rifles in 6.5 Creed and using them to hunt with as well, because they work and work well. I normally don't choose my bullet first, I choose my intended purpose first, then build a gun...

    What chambering would you go with?

    Ha, well I ain't no BSA user, them's fightin' words around here! :-D. And I agree, the 6.5 and 7mm bores have a greater selection of high BC bullets.....I have a few of those as well. I will eventually have another 270 of some flavor, and another 257 of some sort, as well as a 17 and 20 caliber...

    Gunsmithing Barrel problems W/borecam pics

    I'm certainly no expert, but it sounds to me like they cut the barrel with intentions to lap it to final diameter, then it got missed somehow.... mistakes happen in manufacturing. Is it normal to lap 0.0015" off? Well, actually it would only be 0.00075" per side, but since I'm not a barrel...

    Gunsmithing Removing bedding material

    I don't know what's preferred, but if it were me, I'd just dremel it out then re-bed them onto the actions you want to use. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    What chambering would you go with?

    I think the fellow smoke eater here is probably right, but being the man I am, I'm probably going to go 25-06AI, because.... well, I gotta be different.... yeah, I'm that guy. I like speed, heavy for bore bullets and high BC. My 6.5WSM is my long range hammer, this will be my short range...

    What chambering would you go with?

    Thanks Greg, I too have always disliked the 270 due to low BC bullet selection. That said, for this particular rifle, BC isn't critical since it will be used primarily for what I call point blank hunting. Most of my fellow Texas hunters would call it long range, but in my opinion, if you can...

    Sig Kilo 2000 issues in the cold

    I wouldn't be satisfied with that. I suppose a solution, or bandaid really, would be to keep it inside your jacket, in an internal pocket or on a lanyard around your neck, until needed. That would keep the laser warm. It would also screw up any thermometer reading of the LRF has one built in...

    Sig Kilo 2000 issues in the cold

    I'm not sure, but I do know the old laser hunting lights from Laser Genetics....nd-3 I think they were called...... anyway, when the original models got cold, they stopped working. The light would just fade out. Maybe same issue? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    What chambering would you go with?

    Yeah, I've already got 6.5 and 7mm covered, and it will be a purely hunting rifle, the only reason for a slightly heavier barrel on this one is to handle the weight of a suppressor better. I've got heavy tactical rifles and even though I'm not into competition rifle shooting I am into long...

    What chambering would you go with?

    Here's the background: I picked up a 700 stainless in 25-06 with plans to restock it and make a nice little middle weight whitetail rifle. Problem is, I can't get the damn thing to shoot beget than 1.5-2moa. I'm going to trey a couple more loads, and a different scope, and I'd that don't work...

    Rifle Scopes Leveling Scope Driving Me Crazy - Gen 2 Razor on 700 5R

    Got a vice? Loosely clamp the rifle in a padded vice, put a level on the pic rail and level it up. Tighten the vice just enough to keep the rifle from moving. Mount scope, place level on top of scope turret, level scope, tighten rings. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Need smith recomendations for bolt gun build on tight schedule

    I had my 6.5WSM built by Jonathan Stigall of Crimson Accuracy in Cresson, Texas. Jonathan is a former employee of S&S Precision who opened his own shop when Stick sold S&S and retired. I sent him my action and stock, he got the Kreiger barrel, ordered a reamer, built the rifle and had it back...
