    22" barrel for 6.5 creedmoor?

    That is exactly who I've been talking with, and for its worth, he's been the most patient and friendly with my noob questions, as well as not pushy on what to get. From a search on past posts and the fact that I'm running a suppressor, it's pretty much exactly how you said it: good for range...

    22" barrel for 6.5 creedmoor?

    I'm trying to get my order put together for my smith, still got time. I'm thinking 22" barrel for my rifle. Not gunna be shooting much, if any, past 1000yrds. But I will be bringing it hunting from time to time. I think 22 will give me a happy medium. What's the Hide think?

    How many rounds out of new barrel before it reaches potential?

    I'm by no means an expert on bolt guns, but my AR barrels made for precision came with a disclaimer for barrel break in that read : "Install and shoot it, no break in needed!" Something in those lines, and that was from Noveske (which I consider the best AR barrels) I don't see how bolt...

    Actions: Surgeon, Defiant, Badger? Equal in quality?

    So back to badger, does a build require different parts than the other 2? I'm trying to find out if the badger action is on the same level as the other 2?!

    Actions: Surgeon, Defiant, Badger? Equal in quality?

    Looking for a custom build action. Really looking at Badger M2013, friend recommended Defiant, and Surgeon is the standard which all are measured by. I know you have to wait for a surgeon, I'm ok with that, my real question is about the Badger. Are they on par with all the others?

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 0-600 yards??

    Does opticsplanet coupons work on higher end scopes? I.E. Hensoldt? That could be an option if the timing is right

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 0-600 yards??

    Half the battle is admitting the problem: yes, I CAN be a bit of a gear snob. I do make a decent living. But, anytime I spend a nice chunk of money, I like knowing I got what I wanted, nothing more, nothing less, no regrets. I do want "great glass". I don't want to spend $1k wishing I...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 0-600 yards??

    I don't really "need" a NF, although I do respect them and feel they are, in my book, the best. (Please, people, don't start bashing or correcting, just my opinion that is hard to explain.) I think of NF as I think of my fishing gear: do I need a $500 fishing reel - no! If I loose the fish...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 0-600 yards??

    I'm building my first bolt gun, I got more AR's than you can shake a stick at! My range goes out to 600 yards. I'm building a 308 with a 20" barrel. I'm trying to decide on a scope. First, do I spend $1000 Bushnell or Viper PST and eventually upgrade later. Or do I wait longer and buy a...

    Looking at FNH SPR A1 and Tikka Sporters.....any thoughts?

    I know that everything aftermarket is made for a Remington 700, I realize I might be making things harder on myself somewhat, but I am interested in the FNH and Tikka rifles. I feel like out the box, they will be exactly what I am looking for. Leaning more towards the FNH rifle, not sure what...

    Anyone use a MDT chassis for their rifle?

    part of the reason i dont want a ACIS is because everybody has one, i dont like to fit in with the crowd, i wouldnt mind standing out as long as i dont sacrifice on accuracy. i like the ar15 platform because it is so modular, thats also what attracts me to this chassis

    Anyone use a MDT chassis for their rifle?

    I was browsing around and came across the Modular Driven Technologies (MDT) TAC 21 SA chassis. I am not sure if Im in love with it or not. On one hand it looks good, but almost too "tacticool", and I have no idea if its any good. I have only seen a few pictures of it, but not too much to read...

    I am not sure if this is in the right spot, but...... Im looking for a long distance shooting range in south Louisiana. I used the custom search engine with sub-par results. I am aware of Palo Alto, it reaches out to 600yds, but I was looking for 1k yds. Anyone know if there is one? Someone...

    Rifle Scopes Need help picking first optic.....

    I finally convinced my buddy to buy a AR15 (Colt), and now he is having trouble picking an optic. He is looking for a good 2.5-10 or 3-9 for a max of $650. Nightforce and S&B are out of his price range, but he is looking real hard at the Nikon m223. I was looking for some input from the hide for...
