    Reamer with freebore cut vs throating

    This is probably a stupid question, but I googled and didn’t find a glaring answer that slapped me in the face… I had a pre-fit in 30-06 spun up for me. The data sheet that came with the barrel said the freebore was 0 and the throat was .221. Does that mean the reamer had zero freebore, and...

    3-in-1 for case lube

    Has anyone else used 3-in-1 oil for case lube or something similar before? I was necking down Peterson 300 Norma brass using Hornady One Shot and it was working okay, but not necessarily great. I didn’t want to run to the garage to get my sizing wax because it’s July in Arizona and the interior...

    Impact 737r & New NBK?

    Does anyone know the difference between these two actions? The only thing I can SEE is a split rail and different bolt knob…. Is that it or am I missing something more?

    Kahles owners, your thoughts….

    I recently picked up a Gen 3 K624i with MSR reticle off of the PX for $1850. After receiving it and looking through it, I got to say I really like it. I know from this forum a lot of people complain about CA, but I’m not really seeing it and the glass looks really good to my eye. So here’s the...

    300NM or 7-300NM, standard or improved 30*?

    So I have two Long Action Impacts with magnum BF, and two additional bolts one standard and one Lapua. The Split rail is going going to be a 30-06 / 300 WM switch barrel. The full rail is going to be a 300PRC and some form of Norma Magnum. I'm debating 300 Norma vs 7-300 Norma, and whichever...

    Astronomy telescope question

    I realize this is a shooting site, but I’m sure some of you guys dabble in this.. So last night I saw that Jupiter and Saturn were hanging out by the moon and just for the heck of it put my cheap spotting scope on a tripod and looked at them both. I was actually able to see 3 moons of Jupiter...

    New .284 barrel.. what to do..

    I decided to pull the trigger on a CarbonSix barrel with their Black Friday / Christmas sale. It's in .284, 1-8 twist, and will have a finish length at 28 inches. I'm not going to build it into a dedicated rifle, just as another barrel for one of my already made guns. I have a Deviant with...

    Gunsmithing Action choices and Gunsmith views **action purchased**

    Update: Purchased a Kelbly Atlas Long action from Greg Young. Spectacular value and price for what you get. So I'm working on putting together a list of parts for a new dedicated hunting rifle. I know I'm going to use a Proof CF barrel, and a lightweight stock, but I'm wrapped around the axle...

    Excited, can't wait.. must share!

    Okay, so I've been collecting for the last six months, and I have a few more to go for my suppressor.... BUT.. I'm awful close to having all the parts for my next build and can't keep it to myself. I try to tell the wife unit, but all I get is a sideways look and, "you already have a gun.... "...
