    Gunsmithing tightening down muzzle brake

    I would try thin leather. Usually what I use for anything I don't want to scratch.

    Defiance action 700 inlet compatabilty

    Yeah I forgot the ejection port. I dropped mine in a manners for a 700 just while I waited for a different chassis and I just ran it with the 700 port and it still ejected fine. I would've opened it up if it was staying in it.

    Defiance action 700 inlet compatabilty

    yeah the templar requires alot but the deviant will pretty much drop in. Youll need two minor mods to the left side as you stated for the bolt release and youll also need to take out some material for the bolt handle especially if you got the straight bolt handle. If youre actually going to...

    converting rifle to tactical?

    I'd sell the rifle and get money towards a short action. It will save you lots of head aches. You'll run into feeding issues and having to have spacers in your mags, etc. With that cartridge though, 24-26" would be fine and in a Remington varmint contour should only weigh in around 10-14lbs...

    BCM recce 14 accuracy?

    +1. Mine have never really shot better than 1moa if I really push for a good load, 1.5-2 is very realistic but love the reliability and Quality.

    Thoughts on standard/non-adjustable McMillan A5 stock?

    Yes and no. A triad stock pack with the adjustable straps for height will do pretty much everything you'll need and be decently comfortable and save you some weight. But, getting a kmw cheek piece that has vertical and horizontal adjustments flat out beats it. So, you can do the non adjust with...

    Worse grouping after new stock?

    +1. Check if there is any barrel contact and then when mounting it make sure the recoil lug is mated on the back side to the bedding block before tightening it down.

    Rifle Scopes Offensive title changed lol. Scope rings broke, What do you suggest I buy now?

    You definitely could've over torqued, very easy to do and it's less torque than most people think. I've used seekins for years and no issues. They're lightweight and leave even pressure and no ring marks. Definitely bad taste for a title for one experience. Every top manufacturer can have some...

    Gunsmithing WTF is wrong with my trigger?

    Just send it back to timney and tell them what poundage you want it at and they'll reset it.

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    you will need a vice but they dont take too much too spin off and on. The factory barrel is the only bitch to get off initially, after that it threads on and off very smoothly and custom barrels are even better. Just leave an indicator mark on the action and barrel and you wont have any...

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    I finally actually read your background. Since you already have a Tikka 260 in an xray, just buy a tikka action wrench and have a smith spin up a 6mm something for you. They are pretty easy to switch barrel. You can't switch barrel mid match so you don't really need a field changing switch...

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    Just as a side question, what contour did your 260 barrel come in?

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    The ones I've seen weren't used by amateurs and were thrown hard. The thread I posted had some very experienced shooters who had feeding issues as well. It's been an issue. You got a good one i guess. I don't know if the current models have fixed the issues but when I'm paying big bucks I'd...

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    I would guess this is only possible with the aw mag correct? I would guess the aics mag is what would cause the issue and why you would here that often.

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    The dta's I've seen in matches have all had feeding issues. Especially in non 308 calibers. Between the two I'd definitely go ai, 10 Rd mags and a much better trigger. You won't have feeding issues either. Not that it happens often but a support side stage would really suck throwing a bolt in...

    Frustrating!

    I'm surprised you were able to resize the machine gun brass to begin with. That stuff can be very out of spec. I'd try new brass then try different powder if you're dead set on the barnes.

    338 lm brass sticking in chamber

    anytime you take brass fired from another rifle there is that chance. Gap is going to have a tight custom chamber so brass from a production gun is going to probably fit very tight. Id try some new brass.
