    Custom Action (Bighorn Origin) or Tikka T3x

    the big horn shouldnt even be compared to a tikka. the origin is in a much superior class. tikkas are fine but they are not the same quality of a origin.

    Gunsmithing Looking for a good smith

    Thud, not necessarily the truth. Ill put my work up against anyone. My times are very fast. Not spreading ones self to thin is the key to success. If your work load it to deep you should stop taking on work. Focusing on a few crafts and doing them well is another key to my success anyway.

    First custom action which one?

    I think pre fits are silly. Like mentioned before. Nothing takes the place of a well measured and machined fit. Once its chambered and fitted there is never a need for a nut or a go gauge again. This makes it easier to swap out than a barrel nut barrel. I just dont understand the love for a...

    The GAP Butthurt thread (formerly 6mm GT)

    Only thing I wanna say and have wanted to for years is. Yes gap makes good rifles but they are no better than what I build in my small shop or any number of other quality gun builders on these pages. He has done well in marketing and giving back and that deserves a lot of credit no doubt. But...

    Gunsmithing Dial test indicator

    I use interapid and brown sharp. My cheap grizzly indicator can be purchased for 20$ to the very first taker. It’s suppose to read .0001 but I’m thinking it doesn’t. Lol. It sits in my drawer all by itself. Lee

    Which 6mm for longer range?

    6 dasher! norma 6 dasher brass and use a controlled round feed action. simple simple simple!! Above someone showed approx barrel life of 1800 rounds for the dasher and the 6xc. if a 6xc can go 1800 then the dasher will go 2500. i am a smith so i never let my barrels go that high before...

    Another new action?

    the origin is the clear winner here. controlled round feed is the only way to go in my opinion. i have a brand new nucleus i would trade for an origin if anyways wants to swap. i never should have sold all mine. lee gardner precision

    Sierra 22cal 95gr

    I just ordered a brux 6.5 twist so I can try out these new sierra 95gr 22cal bullets. I'll chamber myself up a 22dasher. Just curious if anyone is shooting these and curious how they stack up against all the other heavy 22cal bullets. Lee

    Building custom....which action????

    I chamber harrels for just about every action out there in my little shop. I stay small and I develop personal relationships with my customers. I learn what they like and what they don't like. The Big horn TL3 is by far the preferred PRS action among my clients. They live the fact that they...

    Aero Precision Complete Uppers

    wilson barrels are not top of the line by any means. They are decent however. If pure accuracy is your goal, then i would highly recommend a cut rifled barrel like Krieger, or Bartlein. the Shilen ultramatch are also dam hard to beat.

    Gunsmithing Stiller Predator long term reports?

    i havent check one for several years, but i do know some of the older actions that i owned were not 100% true. One of them was off by a bunch. With that said, they shot just fine, Go figure!!

    Range Report 7mm Creedmoor powder and velocity tests

    Looks like by my numbers you could load a Berger 168 and still make 2.850 and keep the boat tail where it needs to be in the case. I'm sure help will suffer a bit but the bc on this bullet is what has my attention. Lee

    GAP Tempest

    I still haven't purchased a tempest, although I think about doing so at least twice a week. Lol. I did but a TL3 and I really like it. The bighorn is the shit for BR and Dasher size cases. Feeding and extraction. I will most likely pick up a tempest soon. Are these tempest actions still...
