    Custom actions and dirt

    I’ll be ordering my TL-3 in the next few days, out my hands on a new (to me) Manners T4A with a mini chassis and M5 DBM, and I’ll be slapping on a Triggertech diamond. I get a great deal through ExpertVoice on Proof barrels, so now I just have to decide on carbon fiber or stainless. I’ll be...

    Custom actions and dirt

    As of right now I’m 95% sure that I’m going to build an Atlas by Kelbly. The price seems right, and I’m just going to have to take their word that they’re made to perform with junk in the receiver. The Bighorn TL-3 and Trued 700 are tied for a close second. That M40a1 picture just wasn’t fair...

    That would have definitely been the case, but legitimately the only reason why I can’t bring myself to do it is because I think they’re super ugly ?. I know, it’s not really a good reason, but I just can’t help it.

    Custom actions and dirt

    I was looking at 308, shooting heavies. I wanted a caliber that picks a punch and is fairly common and has decent barrel life, based on a short action. I’m trying not to look at 6.5PRC, because it fits almost none of that criteria, but it looks like a lot of fun. I sent an email to SAC last...

    Custom actions and dirt

    A few weeks ago I posted a question about rifle calibers “just want one rifle”, and part of the criteria was coyote hunting. Since then I picked up a cheap R700 223 ADL that my girlfriend has claimed, so I’ll be building myself a 308, since saving pelts is no longer on the criteria list for my...

    Just want one rifle....

    I think two rifles is in my future. Damn yous guys for making sense. 223 is going to likely be a trainer and coyote rifle only. Easy to get spun up on while I get my reloading room and technique dialed in. Get the best glass I care to afford (ATACR is on my wish list), and get as much trigger...

    Just want one rifle....

    i Honestly don’t think that I could go wrong with either 223 or 308. I don’t plan on hunting the Big 5 in Africa, but warthogs and baboons are on the list. I’ll leave the kudu and such to my better half. 223ai could definitely be in my future. It would be kinda cool to have a stupid accurate...

    Just want one rifle....

    Weight isn’t a concern. I don’t plan on doing much stalking, and I work in a steel shop ?

    Just want one rifle....

    I haven’t considered 7-08 actually. I’ll look more into it. I know that 308 hits all the buttons, but for some reason 243 or 22-250 keeps gnawing on me. I just know that barrel life is going to eat me alive, and I really don’t want to go through a new barrel every 4-6 months. Since I’m selling...

    Just want one rifle....

    I totally know that I hit the girlfriend jackpot. She has guided a handful of hunts in Tajikistan, and unfortunately we had to postpone her own hunt for an Ibex this year (it was a choice between an Ibex or new floors. We chose hardwood). As badly as I want that Tac Ops rifle right now, the...

    Just want one rifle....

    The cool thing about having two incomes and no kids means I can shoot as much as I want, financially. But time is a much bigger factor. As far as rounds popular in Africa, I just mean that wildcats are out of the question. I’d like to have a 6 Creedmoor, or something more off color like a 22BR...

    Just want one rifle....

    I may have posted on this website a few times, but for the most part I’ve been reading threads on here forever. i haven’t had a ton of time to get into precision shooting until recently (I’m a steel shop foreman, and steel is booming right now), but my girlfriend is pushing to get out in the...
