    McMillan lead time

    Is an exact drop in. All YOU hvae to do is to put your action in and tightnen those screws (at least this is what they assured me over the phone). That is if you are buying directly from the McMillans. They ask a million questions of you to make sure they will cut your stock for your particular...

    McMillan lead time

    Due date....tell me about it. All I got at exact two months after ordering was an email confirming the exact detail of what I have ordered initially. Do you get another message with a due date? Just curious. Thank you.

    McMillan lead time

    Go ahead and get a head start. No down payment required. Just call them with all the info handy as to what exact action and barrel manufacturer/contour you have.

    McMillan lead time

    Is it worth it? Are you pleased with it? I would be upset to wait so long and then not like the finished product.

    Anybody who received one recently....what was your wait time?

    McMillan lead time

    Wow. That is a long time. Way past the promised 6 mo. Did you contact them? Did they offer any justification/reason?

    McMillan lead time

    I am wondering what is the current lead time for a McMillan stock. I ordered an A4 at the beginning of May and I am just curios when I might expect to receive my stock. Thanks

    Gunsmithing HELP Please- bolt closing issue

    Update report. I re head spaced the barreled action and run into the same problem. Then it all became clear....I remembered that I had previously changed the original detent ball with a ball with slightly larger diameter. I did so because ejecting my 6mm BR cases (the caliber I run before in...

    Gunsmithing HELP Please- bolt closing issue

    When I finished assembling the new barrel I made a witness mark on the barrel and nut. They are aligned perfectly. The barrel did not move.

    Gunsmithing HELP Please- bolt closing issue

    I thought so. But it is in place just fine and tight. My dilemma is increased by the fact the other bolt I have -identical - closes just fine.

    Gunsmithing HELP Please- bolt closing issue

    I went to the range today and after a few rounds I realized in order to close my bolt all of a sudden requires increasingly more effort. I did not have this issue before. Shot maybe 800 rounds with this Savage Target Action single shot RBLP. I tried cycling the spent cases and could not even...

    Rifle Scopes scope both eye open?

    I had an AHAH moment when I applied a little trick someone suggested. I put on the end of the scope a Butler Creek end cap and put a little stopper to allow it to only open parallel to my face. Then I rotate the cap to a 45 degree angle (depending on your dominant eye) such then when you are...

    savage barrel swap question

    It is not very hard to learn how to do it but it requires a few tools (a one time buy under $100) a little 'mechanical savvy' and sound advice/instructions ( especially for the first time). The stock is non-essential since, as Boiler said, you would remove the action from your stock any time you...

    Hold over or adjust?

    +1 Once I identified the 'perfect' windage/elevation combination (at this point I have really paid attention to where the wind is) I stopped any turrets dialing and simply by looking at what the wind does I holdover for the next shot. By messing with the turrets past this point I feel I am...

    Should I buy a rifle ?

    I see, like usual perhaps, lots of advice given regarding the type of rifle you should get. Nothing wrong with that but I think YOUR question requires a different starting point for an answer. I would begin with the end in mind. What is it that you are interested in? Are you more of a finesse...

    Rifle Scopes Impatiently Waiting

    Very often updates on the tracking are done just immediately prior to delivery. Patience is a true virtue....yet so hard to achieve for us the guys and our guns. I feel your pain.

    Primer pocket cleaning

    I guess I misread your post. My apology. I see to many times here guys just being plain rude. Again, not your case. Thank you for the factual response.

    Primer pocket cleaning

    Thanks...that was very good 'coaching'. It is ok for people to discuss different angles and if you remember I asked for factual data in the first place.

    Primer pocket cleaning

    Ok...another question somewhat in the same category then...what lube is the best such that you don't have to wash/tumble/dry/wipe....or whatever...the cases after you run them through the die. I use the One Shot but after I run them in the tumbler again. Just started shooting my 6 BR and after...
