    F T/R Competition New F/TR Stock

    I really like my Masterclass stock.

    F T/R Competition Tight neck or non neck turn neck for 6.5x47 Lapua? Barrel length? Profile?

    Wow! That's fast! I cannot imagine a 22 pound rifle. What? Do you need a forklift to bring it to the firing line? LOL. Thanks.

    F T/R Competition Tight neck or non neck turn neck for 6.5x47 Lapua? Barrel length? Profile?

    Graham, if one shoots "F Open" is there a weight limitation? I know there is for F/TR. I'll go and see if I can find the rules. Thanks alot. I guess the "tight neck" is probably not such a great idea then? I wish I knew more than I do, so I could make a comfortable decision. I suppose that if I...

    F T/R Competition Tight neck or non neck turn neck for 6.5x47 Lapua? Barrel length? Profile?

    In the process of building a rifle in 6.5x47 Lapua. I will never be a serious competitor, but maybe one to three times a year I'll give it a whirl. The only custom rifle I have owned was a AR15 spacegun I built in the 90s, and it had a standard chamber I guess... Krieger chambered the barrel and...

    F T/R Competition F T/R Trigger Rules

    Well, I don't know, really. It just seems like it should have one... I mean it's sort of like boxer shorts should have a vent in the front, you know? LOL. Thanks. Maybe I will just skip the safety. :)

    F T/R Competition F T/R Trigger Rules

    Sort of a thread veer, but maybe not... I am looking at the 1 1/2 oz Jewell trigger, but I am considering the safety lever that comes down into the trigger guard, rather than up sticking out by the rear tang. Anybody have a strong feeling one way or the other on the wisdom of such an addition? I...

    F T/R Competition Stock choice

    Ray Bowman, hunh? OK. I'll check that out and thank you for your suggestion. After some thinking I believe this will be a dedicated BR or F Class rifle. McMillan make an "F Class" stock that looks pretty slick. Any strong feelings one way or the other about this stock? Thanks so much for your...

    308 w 190's in a 23" barrel?

    The RL 17 should give you another 100 to 150 fps with the 190s over what can be expected with 4064. If only I could FIND some RL 17. :(

    F T/R Competition Stock choice

    Guys. In looking forward to building a rifle for long range, I am considering both shooting conventional, slung, iron sights, and also F class open. I am thinking a standard "Palma" type slung stock with a rail in the fore end. I can insert a device with a flat bottom, 3" wide or so, into...

    F T/R Competition F-Open...First day out.

    Wow it is so cool that you got the March scope. Really cool. I'm still sorting through all of these variables in process of building an F class open type rifle.

    CZ 700 help

    Hm. CZ-USA has always treated me exceptionally well. I find this report surprising, in light of my experience with them. I hope you are able to work things out with them.

    F T/R Competition F class optics

    Is there a Leupold scope which will meet these needs? The March is nearly $3k, which may be worth every penny, I don't know. The Nightforce looks swell, and a friend has one. I have peered through it, and it is really very nice.

    Artillery/Mortar operators, enlighten me

    In reference to the second video of contributor Sinister, what is it sets off the powder charge? Is there some sort of primer or something? a Piezo Electric generator? Thanks.

    I may have made a posting like this before, when I first became a member several years ago, but I don't remember, so I'll do it again. I live in Westminster, where I also maintain my law office. I am a "gun crank" I guess, and I come here to learn a little more "in depth" knowledge. I have no...

    Thanks GSTaylorG. Your advice is on point and helpful.

    F T/R Competition F class optics

    Heya, which would be better in optics, moa adjustments or mil adjustments? First or Second Focal Plane? Any particular reticle is well suited to this? What kinds of magnifications are recommended? Thanks.

    Is there any rule against using a Kestrel?

    Who has a good home-made case lube recipe they are willing to share.

    I have found that the toothpaste tube of Lee Case Lube mixed with 90% ISO in a small atomizer from Wally World works good. Toss a couple handsful of cases in a ziplock bag, pump in maybe 4 or 6 squirts, zip up the bag, roll around on your fingertips to spread the lube, and empty on a screen to...

    Easy to remove case lube?

    I hope this helps. I have found that a 1 cup atomizer from Walmart, the pump squirt bottles like what windex comes in, but very small? Well I have found that these make a pretty easy lube solution. I take clean or tumbled empties, toss maybe 20 or 30 or so into a ziplock 1 gallon plastic bag. I...
