    Anyone familiar with the pillar bedding offered by Boyd's with their stocks?

    Save your money and do the job yourself. I bought a Boyd’s and opted for the pillar bedding on a Howa project. As delivered, the rear pillar only was installed, nothing in the front. I sent it back to have the front installed and it came back with the front pillar cut too short. I wound up...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    PSA 20" M16A4 upper

    I have the upper you reference. It works, shoots 55 grain Winchester white box blasting ammo to about a 4” group with a 3-15 SWFA I had on it. 75 grain Frontier did about an inch better. Great for plinking but far from a precision upper. I put a detachable carry handle on it and throw it on a...

    Precision 30-06 builds

    I have an XLR on another rifle and enjoy that. I just wanted to try something different this time around. I will probably add weight at some time in the future just to help tame recoil a bit. I plan on breaking it in with 168 TMKs. I am planning on shooting 175-208s just to take advantage of...

    Precision 30-06 builds

    I call it "Project All Wrong" as in I picked all the wrong parts to start with. Haven't shot it yet, just finished putting it together after accumulating parts over the last 4 years. Rem 700 action Gretan firing pin assembly McGowan 26" Shilen #7HV (hopefully purchased before they went to...

    M*Carbo

    My father put an MCarbo spring in his 40 year old Winchester Model 70. With this simple mod, his trigger became one of the nicest ones I've felt. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade if the other factors in your trigger are OK (creep, over-travel etc.)

    Elftmann Savage Trigger

    I wonder if it's compatible with those of us cursed with the bottom bolt release. Their compatibility list is lifted straight off of Timney's website...same font and everything. I wonder if this is on the up and up.

    Savage Rifles and Aftermarket Stocks/DBM

    Did you have to inlet the Choate stock to fit the PTG bottom metal or did it fit within the stock Savage inlet?

    Two separate .223 rifles with light primer strikes.

    My brother's 700 in .223 also experienced light primer strikes with certain primers. We replaced the firing pin spring with a 28lb spring from Wolff which resolved the issue.
