new barrel questions
Re: new barrel questions Weight wise, I cut .5 pound with the fluting. My needs are from the truck to the bench, so weight was not a deciding factor. In my aught 6 the weight actually helps a little with the recoil. What is left will be helped by the brake. I understand the "trend" is to go...- FlaBouy

new barrel questions
Re: new barrel questions FWIW, I ordered a Kreiger SS fluted MTU 5R to be finished at 26" a month or so ago. My research indicated that the 5R benefits were reduced fouling but no one could point to any advantage in barrel life or accuracy. I plan on screwing a brake on the end of mine when I...- FlaBouy

Anyone still for the 30-06
Re: Anyone still for the 30-06 This thread has reaffirmed my decision to build out my aught 6. I am new to reloading but spent a lot of time researching loads and trajectories before I pulled the trigger on ordering my Kreiger 5R MTU. I was almost swayed into the .300 Mag but decided not to...- FlaBouy

Would you be satisfied with this install?
Re: Would you be satisfied with this install? Just a comment from the peanut gallery. I went back and viewed the timestamps of all the postings and it would appear the OP never called Jeff until AFTER CDI noticed this thread and commented on it after lunch on Monday. Maybe it is just me, but...- FlaBouy

Hunting Camo
OK, while waiting on my B & C I decided to try my hand at painting the OEM ADL stock in camo. Since it will most likley be donated to a hunting setup, I made a run at woodland camo. The Choate I have on the aught six right now will get a desert Camo and the B & C is coming marbled (OD Green &...- FlaBouy

Free Opinions needed...
Re: Free Opinions needed... Just got back in town from Cajun Country and have a chance to think about this again.... I hear ya on the recoil issue, hence why I selected a big ole fat 26" MTU barrel that weighed 7 pounds before the fluting. Kruger calls it 6.5#'s after the fluting. Like I...- FlaBouy

Re: Free Opinions needed... Alrighty then.. I spent a couple hours rethinking my position on the rebarrel configuration this morning. I looked at a lot of trajectory, BC, and relaoding info on the 7MM, aught 6, and even the .300 WM... BC between 7MM and .300WM is almost a wash and depends on...- FlaBouy

Re: Just ordered....... The stock I want will have to wait... the choate was cheap and gave me a solid aluminum one piece base to bed the action too and still allow the new Kreiger to free float.. not shot it yet with the choate since it looks rather stupid with the stock ADL barrel hung out...- FlaBouy

Re: Free Opinions needed... Thanks for the advice.. I was not only going to call Hooper, but I was gonna drive my stick to him when I get the pieces together so we could talk shop.. nothing like sitting eye to eye with someone to get a feel for things... On the twist, I agree.. from...- FlaBouy

I hear ya, but once I knew a snot nosed boot who stood on the firing line on a cold, wet, windy morning in March and shot a series high score with naked sights out to 500 yards... in fact, those 10 rounds fired at 500 yards prone were covered with a 4-6" spotting...- FlaBouy
