    .260 "replacement" and cases "manufacturing"

    Hello guys, hope 2014 it's been great thus far for everyone. I recently asked a question about a .243 build (replacing and older rifle in this caliber for which I reload). In the process on connecting all the dots I had the idea of going with a .260 instead. What do you guys think? I have a 308...

    Gunsmithing How Do I Set the Proper Head Space

    Soon I will have received all the necessary components to assemble a factory Savage 12 target rifle in a 6 mm BR. I asked the supplier about determining headspacing and I was told that "When your barrel is installed your head spacing will be the Go Gage plus .001 –.0015". My question to you...

    Best Inexpensive 243 I Can Buy

    243 because I have a Remy 770 same caliber I am trying to replace. I have all the necessary setting for reloading that cartridge and honestly I love that round. Also I have a 308 already. As far as twist...I will shoot hornady 87 grain and then the heavier Bergers (105) and Sierra 107's

    Best Inexpensive 243 I Can Buy

    Good point. I have a tikka t3 in 308 and frankly is a great gun. However most components for a buildup are limited or/and very expensive. The option with the tikka is to replace the whole thing.

    Tikka Stock woes over, for now

    Bench Rest Style How much I would have to ajdust in order to just drop the action for my Tikka T3 Lite in one of these stocks? Would it require a glass bedding job? I called and they said they can make it for my rifle and would charge $208 for the laminate stock +39 dollars for the recoil pad.

    Savage arms....Ill never own another savage!

    How about we all act like true gentlemen and put an end to this string of messages (it appears to have no resolution in the foreseeable future). I believe it degenerated severely, and it appears to draw out the worst in everyone. We are all here, to share about our love for shooting and to learn...

    6mm Norma BR loading data

    I would like to shoot mostly 105 Berger and 107 Sierra [600-1000 yards]. I have some 87 gr V-Max Hornday but that would not be suited for longer distances.

    Cheek Rest Qustion (F-class stock)

    I will soon have built a Savage Model 12 Target rifle (in a 6mm Norma BR) with an original Savage F-Class stock on it and I am wondering if anyone can guide me towards procuring a nice/practical cheek rest and perhaps a recoil pad that would fit this stock snuggly. Thank you and happy...
