    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    In a world of fde and fiberglass, here’s a different take. AAC-sd 308 bedded to a walnut stock. Gray krylon for the metal, boiled linseed oil for the wood. Still have to fit a legitimate buttpad to it. Deer season is only 10 months away...

    Gunsmithing Bolt lug grease

    Whatever is in the grease gun. Moly or lithium. Red, blue, gray, or black. No discrimination here. Have not encountered a problem with lithium yet. Curious to know what the potential issue may be.

    New Years Resolution builds.

    Shorty 308 in the works for me. Plan to shoot it at a club match or two, because you can't fix stupid.

    Against the grain?

    I agree. With everyone out here prancing about with their Khales and Tangent Thetas, It's easy to lose sight of the fact that an XTRII is not a shit optic. Believe it or not, you can see through them. You'll love the AT. Make it happen.

    Gunsmithing TIG welder for gun work

    I have an everlast stick/tig. Cost under $300 and will do 160 amps dc on 240v. I don’t think gunsmith work would require a water cooler.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    That's a hog of a barrel in the AICS. Looks cool.

    Hunting & Fishing If you could only have one centerfire rifle to hunt with?

    Anything in NA? A 9-10 lb 300 wsm with some badass German glass. Hensoldt or Schmidt 3-12 etc.

    Summary of the long range fad.

    20 years ago the best you could do for a factory rifle was a 700p and 175 gold medal with a mark 4 on top. What’s out there now specifically due to the popularity of these rifle competitions? Demand drives innovation. It’s been really cool to watch it happen. First it was the 7mms, then the...

    Rifle Scopes Mil based prismatic scope

    Putting together a semi-budget beater bolt action 308, for hunting suppressed out to 2-300 yards absolute max. 16” fast twist, plan to shoot 168s for steel and lighter 150ish for deer/hogs/yotes. (Zombie apocalypse if you must...) Is there a mil based reticle in a prismatic sight that anyone...

    Softshells

    When I read soft shell I assumed turtle. I recommend it prepared as a soup creole style, with a butter based roux and the typical vegetables. /hijack

    Bergara HMR Pro or Tikka CTR in a chassis?

    I started my match shooting journey with a 20" .260 rem Tikka CTR in mid-2015. Soon, it was in a KRG X-ray. Shot many, many, sub-moa groups with handloads and prime factory. Last winter it slowed way down and groups opened up at about 2000 rounds. I had a Dasher barrel put on. Can't...

    KRG Bravo - Spigot Mount & Harris Bipod Direct Mount

    Get the arca spigot, the arca clamp, and a direct mount for the harris. I like harris better than atlas, so the math is irrelevant for me, but you totally want to be able to remove the bipod. My opinion. I have a harris on a picatinny qd, and it's night/day better than the sling stud mount...
