    7 PRC market penetration

    I just got 3 complete rifle orders in the last month, but have heard some people experiencing accuracy issues. Not sure if it was the quality of the rifle or the cartridge itself as I have no personal experience yet. I just got my JGS reamer recently. Is anyone else experiencing these...

    Tikka t3x barrel thread cost? $225

    I charge $150 to thread a barrel and my business is in Ca! If I need to contour or time a brake then it's $200-225. If you have a self timing brake then that's a bit expensive. The most common thread length for muzzle threads is .600" . Some brakes have shorter or longer tenon's but just make...

    What barrel do you use for long range rifle?

    Marc’s a great guy, he was my mentor. Even though we all miss him here in Ca, he’s much happier living in Idaho!

    What barrel do you use for long range rifle?

    Correct Im running a TBAS. I also cut at extremely low speeds on my 3000lb+ South Bend lathe so my chambers take longer to cut. My business is word of mouth only and I'm not hindered by time constraints or a large backlog. My lathe has a 2.06" spindle bore and if needed, I'll support the muzzle...

    KRG W3 Bedding.

    The best way to tell if a chassis needs bedding is to shoot at least 50-100 rounds through the rifle before determining if bedding is needed. Disassemble the rifle and check the contact points between action and chassis. There will be wear marks in the finish of the chassis. If the wear marks...

    Best precision suppressor

    TBAC here! My 338 Ultra made my competition 338LM improved more accurate. A larger diameter bore on your can will affect the projectile less and mitigate point of impact shift. I use a .30 cal can on my 6.5's and 7mm's and can't tell if theres an audible difference.

    What barrel do you use for long range rifle?

    I'll recommend a Bartlein every time, never had an issue with accuracy in the hundreds of chambers I've cut. -Shouldered barrels only for ELR rifles. Less parts the better to insure consistency and accuracy. I time my barrels to 12 o'clock using a precision rod inserted into the bore, not the...

    Cerakote inside Impact Action? Yay or Nay

    For this very reason I switched to KG Industries Nano series paints when coating actions. Kg goes on 1/2 the thickness of Cerakote to minimize clearance issues. If you have a sloppy factory action with loose tolerances then it really doesn't matter what you spray it with. Most custom actions...

    Night Vision Close range thermal-large FOV!

    I’m looking for recommendations on an observation thermal that has the largest field of view. Budget is around 4K. I live in heavily wooded areas hence the large FOV as the main requirement. The front runner so far is a pulsar axion or the AGM fuzion. But with those having a base magnification...

    Maybe you’re unaware of the kind of winter we’ve been having……… it’s been shown countless times all fall and winter on every weather channel known to man in Ca. Surely you’ve had more than enough opportunities to witness that.

    Defiance bought out

    I've been building on Defiance Actions for the past 6 years, with a marking variance from the ATF to brand the actions under my business name. The company has always been a pleasure to deal with and the products speak for themselves. But now with the new pricing and dealer discounts I'll be...
