    Real gunsmiths chime in.

    The machine that originally chambered this barrel a a jet 1336PBD. Late 80's Taiwanese bench top machine. Fairly heavy for what it was. It built a lot of good rifles before I got it. I sold that machine to buy my current lathe. This one is a profit master. Made in Brazil. 14x60. Knew the...

    Real gunsmiths chime in.

    Thanks for chiming in. Based on what you said above I'm going to say inadequate tool holding combined with the brand new reamer and my lack of experience is what got me the first time around. And quite possibly a machine that wasn't up to what I was asking of it. This evening when I got home...

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    Yeah that's what I said. After I got my rifle I wished I had ordered it with a 30.

    Fixing it won't make it shoot any worse.

    Real gunsmiths chime in.

    To the professionals out there, not the shade tree guys like myself, y'all tell me if I'm on the right track. Some time ago I built myself my first rifle. Trued up my action to the best of my abilities and chambered my first barrel. It shoots pretty decent. Half moa is the norm with minimal...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    This is true. My first order from him was long long ago. Probably before my time here. I think I ordered a scope either from Amazon or maybe ebay and it came from camera land. Little did I know then what a fine establishment that guy runs. Unless I can drive over to Sugarland and pick one up...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Eeeehhh, I think I'm about to pick up another one for my vudoo and I popped in to ask about this. Bummer man. Who's got the best price on them at the moment ? Hide discount ? Or just straight to doug ?

    .308 Winchester

    I dint believe it would fail under pressure. I may have been stingy, stinge, stingey, stingee? With the lube or something. Yanked that sucker off on the return stroke. Honestly I'm not sure you couldn't accomplish the same thing with alpha brass that the hybrids are getting me. I went hard on...

    .308 Winchester

    So I picked up 100 of these and formed them to 308. The first few I mandreled up to 7mm then stuffed them in a hornady 308 die. I think I did twenty that way just to try a few for my initial loading. The rest of them got lubed up with imperial sizing wax and crammed straight into the hornady...

    Zero Dark Precision

    I'll second the recommendation to ship it to LRI. I had a 700 bolt that needed timed and the handle welded. I had seen some of the work posted here by LRI of the exact job I needed done and it looked superb. I opted to send it to another smith that had done some work for me in the past and boy...

    New CHAD clone from Preece.

    A friend of mine designed and produced a highly effective muzzle brake for .50cal use and then scaled the design down to smaller calibers. I still have two of them and they are the most effective, least noisy, (to the shooter) brakes I've used to date. When tested on my 300winmag with a 208gr...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    So all things considered the athlon and steiner are pretty equal units ? Or does the athlon have the edge in any other areas ? I'm going back and forth on the athlon and the dnt hydra at the moment. No LRF on the dnt really has me looking more towards the athlon.
