    Mesa Summit Ti / Manners CF / Bartlein CF

    Not seeing much about the Mesa Summit Ti. I looked at several TI actions and settled on the Mesa. Almost went with the Terminus Apollo Lite but wanted an integral recoil lug and not a fan of split scope base. Stock went out to Joe Ducos for cheek riser. I ended up pillar bedding and...

    Can anyone tell me about their personal experience with the Element Nexus optic. I bought a Helix for my 17HMR and so far Im impressed with the value and perfoemwnce.

    HIR-146 Graphite Black Gen II Cerakote

    Anyone else notice this Cerakote is more sensitive to air ratio when spraying? I sprayed two separate sets of parts at different times. The both sprayed on “wet” but the first batch came out a duller grey tone of black. I thought no big deal and figured it was just how the Gen II color...

    DIY Sponge Camo - Manners

    Hated to cover all that caebon fiber, but the stock needed modification for my particular action and I was not a fan of the original color pattern. Bolt relief was cut for angled bolt ans mine is straight. Ejection port was lengthened and deepened. Needed bedding to center barrel in channel...

    Gunsmithing 30 Nosler Reamer Recommendations

    Anyone have experience with 30 Nosler reamers for 210-215 class Berger VLD/VLD Hunting or similar bullets. My searches suggest SAAMI spec is 0.148” freebore and some report 0.200-0.220” freebore is needed for the heavier, longer, higher BC projectiles. Looking for someone who has chamber and...

    Remington Sendero 7 Mag - LEMON!!!!

    All, I decided to post my new gun recent experience since I could find no information similar to my circumstance. Last month I decided to take advantage of the Remington bolt gun rebates. I have been wanting to puchase a 7 mag for larger game/long range hunting in elk country. I have several...

    Defiled or Accurized?

    So after building up my second custom I decided I needed a cheek riser. A simple foam job or snap on stock bag wasn't necessarily my taste. After some nervous debate, this is what I ended up with. Tried to make it seem as integral as possible without going full hatchet on the stock. I'm...

    Volquartsen TF-17 22 Magnum: Floated Barrel?

    Kinda new to the rimfire section. I have owned several 10/22 in standard configurations, but I picked up a Volquartsen TF-17 in 22 magnum recently. I always wanted a 22 mag, but had decreased my interest since the release of the 17 HMR. So I came across a smokin' deal on this rifle and bought...

    Stiller/Bartlein Custom (Pics)

    So I sold a pretty good factory gun to help fund a custom build. Regretted the sell at first but not so much since I've completed the build. My personal preference for a precision hunter rifle. Thought I would share with some pics: Specs: Stiller SA308 Predator Action Bartlein .30 cal...

    Gunsmithing Free float barrel clearance?

    I've owned a few bolt guns and tinkered with them along the way. I had my first two custom barreled actions assembled and delivered in the last couple of months. The first I got back fitted in HS precision stock (skim bedded) and the second I fitted (also skim bedded). My question is what is...

    Gunsmithing Glass Bead Blasting Media Size?

    I am hoping to gain confirmation or new suggestion for glass bead media needed to finish my stainless steel barreled action. I'm looking to nearly replicate the Remington factory finish. I have done a few searches here on the hide and several on the ol' inner web and have determined to no...

    Maybe Sick over selling...

    Well I started my precision shooting venture about the time I joined here almost three years ago. Not looking to spend a ton of money at first I bought a R700 SPS Light Tactical (85471). The gun shot better than any gun I had ever owned prior. I ended up bedding it in an HS Precision and...

    X-Mark Pro Adjustable Varmint Weight Trigger Modification

    I assume most Rem 700 or similar bolt gun owners here run Jewell or Timney triggers or similar, so this may not apply to many. Just wanted to mention for those of you who do still run the X-mark pro adjustable trigger, there soon will be a Varmint Spring Kit from erniethegunsmith.com hitting...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 or Nightforce Compact NXS - Advice?

    Been trying to pick a scope for varmint hunting on my latest bolt rig. I originally was looking for about a 3-15 variable power FFP with illumination. My reasoning is I like range days with my rigs and enjoy the benefits of FFP and exposed turrets, yet in practical hunting situations FFP on...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for 3-15 illuminated...

    I'm needing about a 3-15 variable power scope with illumination for a predator bolt gun build. I likely would have bought the SWFA 3-15 to compliment the SWFA 5-20 I have, but the 3-15 is non-illuminated. I've looked some at Nightforce, but can't quit determine for sure if an MIL/MIL FFP is...
