    Used 300 PRC/Defiance/Manners $5,300

    I built this for myself, developed a great load with 215 Bergers at 2,950 fps then put it in the safe. It has less than 100 rounds through it and is like new. The stock was ordered with a larger barrel channel to accommodate up to an M40 #14 barrel. It weighs 9 lbs. 7 oz. Defiance Tenacity...

    This is a personal rifle that I built in 300 Norma with a 9 twist Bartlein Heavy Varmint barrel at 30”. It will ship with another identical barrel that I will chamber for the the buyer at the time of sale for no additional cost. The current barrel has about 700 rounds through it shooting Berger...

    Bartlein Carbon MRAD prefits

    We ordered a small batch of carbon wrapped blanks from Bartlein awhile back and they'll be finished in November. They're all 30 caliber, 1.250" straight with no taper and 6" of steel at the breech end and a mix of 24" and 26" lengths. We still have both A and B extension kits available so we can...

    Spartan Precision update as of 9/4

    Our new shop location in Idaho is running smoother than ever before and I have the best team I've ever had working with me. We're now down to less than two weeks for barrel machine work and epoxy bedding. Machine work pricing is still what it's been for about 7 years which is $350 for a complete...

    Spartan Precision lead times & parts

    We've been putting in long hours and 6 day weeks for a long time so we've caught up on our back log. Buying a CNC lathe and hiring highly qualified help didn't hurt any either :) We can now get barrel machine work turned around in a week or two at the most. Cerakote and pillar bedding jobs can...

    Spartan Precision DBM’s

    We have a new DBM we call the Bottom Dweller. It has an oversized mag box that comes down out of the stock just short of a 5 round AICS magazine. We put a beveled opening on it similar to an AR-10 and a large, one piece release tab that sweeps back close to the trigger finger. It’s cut in an M5...

    Spartan Precision muzzle brakes

    We have a new self timing muzzle brake called the Kopis. It has an open top for increased gas expansion and surface area which also reduces muzzle lift, a wide bottom to reduce ground blast and the ports are angled to the rear for increased recoil reduction. The self timing jam nut on the back...

    Gunsmithing How to protect blue finish barrel in lathe?

    I have a customer that sent me an old Sako with a very nice blue finish for a muzzle brake install. This will be the first time I've worked on a blue finish barrel and I'm not sure how to protect the finish from marks left by the jaws in my lathe. I don't think lead or brass shims would be good...

    Nice PSS tune up

    I cut the barrel, crowned the muzzle, and glass bedded the action. They have aluminum blocks obviously, but I still think they benefit from a real bedding job. "Hooper" did the bolt knob and spiral bolt fluting and Todd Powers at http://www.phantomfinishing.com/ did a fantastic job on the...

    Suppressors Knife sharpening by Panzer075

    I met Chris O. (Panzer075) at the F class nationals in Sacramento recently and we started talking about knives. I realized quickly that this guy was serious about blades and knew what he was talking about. We discussed sharpening techniques and he described his method of using Japanese water...

    Hunting & Fishing First archery kill

    I got invited to a buddies place on a private ranch yesterday afternoon for an evening pig hunt. I dropped everything, grabbed my old bow and hauled ass down to the meeting spot. This is not a trophy but it's my first big game animal with a bow. I've tried for years. I've made countless numbers...

    Rifle Scopes My Premier is runnin' great!

    I posted a couple months or so ago about some problems with my Heritage 5-25. I got one of the first ones out that I know of. It wouldn't hold a tight group and seemed to have a little tracking trouble. I sent it out for repair and they had it for a little over a week as I recall. Upon receipt I...
