    Escutcheons for bedding Manners ELR light stock

    So my Manners ELR light stock is at my gunsmith to be bed to the receiver, and I was curious what people use for the escutcheons? Make them from bar stock or pillars? Thank you, Scott

    26 pound 375 CT Recoil

    I have all the pieces to build a 33XC or a 338 LM on a BAT CT 1.47" action with a Manners ELR light stock with a 1.45" barrel blank, and I saw a BAT CT Cheytac bolt available for sale, and I was curious about the recoil of the 375CT... It would weigh about 26 pounds. I have put 250 rounds...

    Lapua Ammo Lot numbers, most important numbers to match up

    When wanting more of the same lot, do I just try to find the lots with the same velocity? Or also with the same actual lot number, which seems very difficult. I tested about 5 different kinds of ammo in my .22LR. Some SK, Lapua and Federal. The Lapua Long Range stuff was much better and...

    Leica PRS vs Vortex Gen 3 Razor 6-36x

    So I went to check out the Gen3 Vortex 6-36 and buy it with a 30% off cert, but I wanted to check out the Leica PRS 5-30x and side by side them. I expected to like them both about equally, and leave with the Vortex, which I did, but I really liked the Leica glass, more than I thought I would...

    6mm BR Norma reamer

    I talked to JGS and 6mm BR Norma, (I think CIP) their reamer print 1262 has a .094" freebore with a tapered 0.271"-.0272" neck. I plan to run 105 or 108 grain Bergers and was wondering if that freebore will work. I will buy Lapua 105 Scenar loaded ammo to start and reload the once fired...

    Accuracy: Chassis rifles vs Manners Mini Chassis

    I have MPA and XLR built chassis rifles and they shoot very well. I'd say 1/3rd MOA with hand loads is no problem. I also have rifles built on Manners Stocks with the mini chassis built in, and they shoot 1/3rd MOA with hand loaded ammo as well. I feel like both platforms are equally accurate...

    Changing the inlet, Manners stock

    For a carbon fiber stock that has already be inlet for XM length, can that be filled and then inlet again to a short action length? I understand some work might need to be done to match up ejection port openings and bolt release, and touch up some cerakote, but in general, can a good stock...

    Precision Rifle Definition

    This came up in conversation, and I was curious what others thought the definition of a precision rifle was. For me, it's about meeting an accuracy requirement, say .5 or .75 MOA, maybe even 1 MOA, and less about the platform specs and sighting devices such as optics and irons. Accurate...

    I moved this from the Bolt Action Forum... Looking for recs for a stock to fit the 1.5" wide Panda. Looks like Shurley Brothers make excellent stocks. I like Manners T2-A type stocks, but Manners aren't quite big enough except for their F class and ELR light, but those are a year wait...

    Rim-x Build in progress, which ammo brands (wax) play well together

    I have a Rim-x action and a 22" Green Mountain barrel coming, and I was wondering which ammo brands have the same or similar enough lube that they can be shot without any major cleaning in between.

    Reloading setup in climate controlled storage unit

    Anyone ever setup for reloading in a climate controlled storage facility? Circumstances are such that I won't have room at home for loading for up to another year, so I was wondering about this... A 5x10 unit would work well. Security is a concern, as well as electricity to run a powder...

    SB Ultra short 3-20 for ELR

    Anyone ever use Schmidt Bender ultra shorts on their ELR rifles? I run their 5-25 pmII and was wondering if their are any drawbacks using the US design. I'm usually running less than 18x anyway, and mostly use full power to zero. The lighter scope also seems like it would be good for making...
