    Rifle Scopes Nightforce deal too good to pass?

    Or a knockoff. My brother in-law had a guy trying to trade him a knockoff NXS 5.5-22 a while back for a $500 pistol. The guy finally confessed that he bought it at a gunshow from a booth selling fake EoTechs, Aimpoints, and a whole host of other optics for $450.

    Need someone to run match(s) at Maxton Tactical "Sniper Golf" in 2014

    I hope someone jumps on this, you've got a great piece of property out there that allows for a diverse and challenging COF. I shot the 2012 match out there and hate Kyle wasn't able to do it again this year.

    20" .260 Muzzle Velocity Question.

    I get 2730fps from Hornady 140 BTHP's and 43gr of H4350 in my 20" 260. It scares hell out of 2900 with 123 Amax and 44.7gr of H4350. Both loads in RP brass.

    I am calling for a Christmas Truce on the Savage-Remington Front lines...

    Not if it's going on a hotdog or a burger, no. Serving a bowl of chili with no beans around here is a hanging offense.

    Official MidwayUSA Codes

    RMEF1320 just worked for me as well, saved enough on an Atlas BT-10 and rail to more than cover 2nd day air shipping.

    Savage build questions, recommendations needed

    Thanks for the info, Boiler. I saw the extended bolt baffle mentioned a little while ago when I ran across your 223AI built on a LA, very nice by the way. After some digging, it looks as though I can get a McGowen prefit in 6x47 Lapua from the McGowen outlet and they have them in stock at...

    Savage build questions, recommendations needed

    I've been itching for the last year to build me a rifle just for matches since my 260 is a dual purpose hunting/match gun. I mean, who doesn't want two LR capable rifles and a backup is always nice to have. I've got a donor action from an old 110, the only issue is that it's a long action (5.X"...

    SAC 6.5 Creedmoor Folder **FULL REPORT UPDATED: 01/19/2014

    And................. Seriously, that's a beautiful rifle. No doubt it's going to be a hammer. One of these days I'm going to just suck it up and go all out on a build. Until then, I'll just keep drooling over the ones that get posted here.

    My "short" 260 budget build

    I was asked about this rifle in another thread, so I figured I'd throw this out as not to take that one off topic. I actually put this rifle together about a year back, but haven't shot it much due to work and a newborn son. I had Chad at LRI whack 4" off the end of the barrel and screw the tube...

    Looking for a replacement 9mm powder, any suggestions.

    I run Bullseye as well for 115's, but have taken a shining to Hodgdon Longshot and Berry's 147's. I drop either straight from my LEE powder measure into the case and they meter great. Unless you're pushing the velocities (and pressures) high the Longshot can be on the dirty side, though.

    Range Report What Barrel Length needed to get the most out of the .260

    I'll start a thread in the Bolt Rifles forum as not to derail the OP's topic. It has turned out to be one of my favorite guns I own. docdredd, Niles brings up another excellent point. The chamber specs and quality of the barrel are going to come into play as well when you figure on pulling all...

    Gunsmithing powder coating

    Don't waste your time, and that's coming from someone who does powder coating as a profession. I've done a few shotguns with "vein" powders from NIC, looked cool as shit but nowhere near the corrosion or wear resistance of Cerakote. I added a coat of Duracoat clear to all of them and it helped...
