    BCM less expensive than Daniel Defense

    I have a DD purchased about a decade ago. Great rifle (little over gassed), but I wouldn't buy one for what they cost today. BCMs uppers have crept up in price, but nothing compared to the hikes DD has made. Their barrels are great as long as you want a govt or LE contour. Something closer to...

    Efile form 1, some questions

    Have your finger print cards done before you click submit, you only have so many days to get them to them. Also, you can get the cards free from the ATF.

    Barrel recommendation for my custom 6.5 creedmoor (20 inches)

    Obligatory shout out to PVA for prefits. Only drawback with them, they don't do sport contours as light as you can normally order from rock creek. Not sure how heavy/light you consider right for hunting. But, the ones I have gotten from them (savage and shouldered) have all shot very well.

    Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

    Another vote for origin thread pattern. Using Savage prefits is great, tapping into the existing shouldered prefit market from Proof, LRI, PVA and others is even better. Industry needs to standardize on this. If I already own a few origin prefits (I do) it's hard to justify getting a new action...

    BCG for an AR10 in 6.5 creedmoor?

    Yes, a must have for a 6.5 creedmoor in my opinion. It helps with primers cratering even at lower pressure.

    BCG for an AR10 in 6.5 creedmoor?

    No complaints with my aero BCG. They should have the smaller firing pin hole as well.

    Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

    With regards to MSRP, if you look around Aero stuff is always available a good deal below MSRP. If the street price on the actions reflects the same pricing model, they could be very competitive for an integral lug/3 lug bolt. I don't see myself replacing my origins, but anything that makes the...

    Who are your favorite vendors for pre-fit barrels?

    Happy with PVA, but you can't go wrong with the ones listed here. I'd look at what you want for caliber, contour, twist and then see who has what in stock.

    Is my landlord a fucking dick?

    I wouldn't waste my time filing a claim with renters. They're contents policies and aren't going to cover damage to someone else's building, especially not for damage someone else caused to someone else's building. A public adjuster can't change that.

    Is my landlord a fucking dick?

    When reading the lease it should be under the insurance section. Maintenance section would be for normal wear and tear. Also, reglazing should be like $100-$200 for an average window. Even a full window replacement shouldn't be a grand. If you do pay for it, hire someone yourself. I certainly...

    Short action Elk rounds

    Not directed at anyone in particular, but: If 👏 you're 👏 not 👏 willing 👏 to 👏 pass 👏 on 👏 bad 👏 shots 👏 don't 👏 go 👏 hunting 👏 I agree with the earlier poster who said you're either on the vitals or you're not. If you're not confident, don't pull the trigger, doesn't matter what you're...

    Scale question

    I made thousands of rounds on my RCBS 505 without issue. I recently got an A&D FX-120i. It is much faster and the SD of my weights is lower. The 505 had a slightly higher SD for weights, but the average was always dead on the money with what I had set it for.

    Short action Elk rounds

    6.5 PRC 7 SAUM 300 WSM Run the numbers and take your pick. Strengths and weaknesses to each. If you're using factory ammo, I'd pick two or 3 loadings for each and compare those. If reloading, pick a few bullets in each caliber that meet your needs and run the numbers. I went with 6.5 PRC. No...

    Accuracy of Tikka T3X Factory Fluted Barrels

    Can't go wrong with the SuperLite (at a much lower price than the models you listed). My buddy has one and it shoots great for how light it is with minimal load workup.

    What is happening?

    Things have already gotten much better than they were. Local stores have 9mm and 5.56 in a few varieties every day. Lots of projectiles, maybe not exactly what you want, but a few options in all the common calibers. Every panic everyone says things will never go back to normal and they always...

    What is happening?

    Things have definitely improved locally and online. Projectile availability is way up here. I seem primers and powder a few times a month, but not at prices I'm willing to pay. Online it seems like Midway and Brownells have stuff every week. And the shortage hasn't been going on for 2 years...

    6.5 can for 223?

    If it's your first can and you're not sure you want to spend a ton, I'm very happy with my YHM Resonator for a bolt action in 6.5. You can swap the mount out later if you invest in another brands mounts as well.

    6.5 can for 223?

    My 30 cal rugged razor has never been used on a 30 cal gun. It's very pleasant/low back pressure on an AR-10 in 6.5 and a stack of AR-15s in 223 though. Am I leaving some DB reduction in the table? Certainly. But it takes the edge off and makes shooting more enjoyable for me. I've got enough...
