    300 PRC update

    You'll be fine using the heavy 225 or 230gn offerings from Hornady or Berger. Should get you to nearly a mile supersonic and well beyond once the bullet drops trans-sonic. A couple of buddies shot with me at an ELR match earlier this year with 6.5 PRC rifles and the biggest problem past a mile...

    Remington 700 Bolt Handle Failures

    I had several R700 (modern receiver numbers) that I’ve used hard in the field and haven’t had any issues with the bolt handles. My father used almost exclusively R700 hunting rifles (7MM Mag, 300WM, etc) for Elk and has never heard of the issue. Is it a less than IDEAL manufacturing method...

    Nucleus Build Pictures

    I had the Nucleus in a KRG Bravo while I was waiting for the PRS-2 to be finished up. I actually like the Manners just a little bit more as it puts my hand a little further forward so I can get better leverage on the bolt than I could on the KRG Bravo. For whatever reason, I had an issue with...

    Nucleus Orders

    Update from Manners. Picked up a PRS-1 w/ mini-chassis after they measured the Nucleus action I dropped off with them a few weeks back. Fits like a glove and the inletting is perfect, as usual. If you are waiting on a stock from them, they have everything dialed in now and can start...

    300 PRC update

    Give the folks at X-Caliber or McGowan a call. In the past I haven't heard of them having any reservations with SAUMs or WSMs on a small shank.

    Manners long action DBM magazine length

    Manners makes a Short, Long and CIP length mini chassis (MCS-DBM Gen 1). For the magazine you are looking to use, you would want the CIP length mini chassis (3.850 magazine OAL). Still, when you order its always a good idea to call and double check that Accurate Mag's CIP length 300WM magazine...

    Nucleus Orders

    Same here. Not that I’ve had any feeding issues, per se, but both Magpul and AI mags end up push feed regardless of speed of bolt throw (6.5x47L).

    Nucleus Orders

    I dropped off my Nucleus action at Manners shop a couple weeks back for them to take measurements and test the inlet. They should be ramping up inletting for the Nucleus very soon!

    Entry-level options other than CZ, Ruger

    I’ll offer up something a little different. Marlin XT-22VR with Varmint barrel. After dropping it into a Boyd’s varmint stock, polished trigger components and bedding the action it shoots impressively well with Eley EDGE. Rifle: $170 (Cabelas Special) Stock: $120 Scope: $150 (Athlon Talos...

    225 ELDM Transonic stability ?

    had a good outing and was pleased with how the 225 ELD’s shot. Got a cold bore hit at 1604yds, then several hits at 1516 and 1675 which were all in the transonic zone. Overall was good enough for 4th place (out of 15). A G7 of .370 was pretty spot on for me. I didn’t get any hits past 1675...

    225 ELDM Transonic stability ?

    We'll find out this weekend. I'm taking 225 ELDM's out to 2200yds on Saturday. Targets will be at 1516, 1675, 1867, 1951, 2083 and 2208yds. They've been dead on at 1000yds with a .367 G7 BC but that is still well inside the supersonic zone. Will report back.

    Say what you want about Savages...but here's mine

    I'll echo other comments on this thread. I've been more than pleased with my $400 Savage .308 12FV. While I junked the crap stock for a Bobby Hart LRT, it's been a real shooter. I've had it out to 1100yds+ and its been a laser. At a club match this past year I took home 1st in the .308 class...

    Bolt guns in kansas

    Spearpoint runs some great matches, both PRS style and ELR (2200yds) and rents out their range for $25/day if you just want to go shoot steel (their rental range goes out to 1400yds I think). Steve Worth runs the place and is an awesome guy. As others have said, CLD is another great range and...
