    Gunsmithing Short action .284 Win "tactical"l build on a Shilen action/barrel

    Quick update: Me and my son both hit the mile target at Thunder Valley on Sunday for the first time. 22.5 mils elevation, .7 mils spin drift, .2 elev and .2 left for coriolis. Speed was a little off but my son hit it within a few rounds. We had the turret maxed out and holding 4 mils over on...

    PTS Precision Rifle Match, Aug 2-3

    Sorry if I missed it somewhere but how much ammo do I need to bring? Does your chrono read on the high side or the low side? :) -Bryan

    Gunsmithing Opinion on milling slot in feed ramp for longer OAL in Remington 700 type action.

    Honestly, the area that we're talking about cutting is so far behind the part of the receiver that immediately supports the lugs and the barrel tenon that I don't see how you can even consider them related. There is also a huge cutout here for the magazine already and nothing (that I can see) to...

    Gunsmithing Shilen Ratchet Rifling?

    I was also told by Shilen that, even though the overall area of 4 lands is less than 6, the 4 lands are a bit "beefier" and might last a little longer. Might. The ratchet plays a role in this as well. It's less friction between the bullet and the land because of the "smoother" engagement. The...

    Gunsmithing Opinion on milling slot in feed ramp for longer OAL in Remington 700 type action.

    I think we're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Anyone building a gun that uses a long cartridge (like 2.960) in a short action has had to do this mod. Scores of guys across the country have done it (myself included) and I don't recall any stories of anyone junking an action because of...

    Gunsmithing Buying a barrel with pre-cut chamber/tenon?

    With properly developed ammo, it will shoot a 5-shot bughole at 100 yards.

    Gunsmithing Inletting for DBM

    Yeah, I hear ya. Well aware. I would not recommend it for anything requiring precision. Also, the chuck is taper fit in the spindle so it will fall out if you put too much side load on it. I did mostly plunge cuts followed by light sweeping cleanup cuts.

    Gunsmithing Buying a barrel with pre-cut chamber/tenon?

    Agree 100%. I run a custom Remington action that is cut for Savage-threaded barrels and I love it. Cheap but good barrels and easy headspacing with no machining necessary. Fast caliber swaps too. You can buy Shilen and Criterion barrels for most popular calibers from Northland Shooters Supply...

    Gunsmithing Inletting for DBM

    This may sound kinda janky to the machinists present but I also had issues finding someone to inlet my B&C for the PTG Stealth DBM. Not being one who likes to rely on others, I bought a cheap X/Y table for my drill press and a couple of different endmills and did it myself. I traced the bottom...

    Gunsmithing REM 700 trigger

    I run a Shilen competition trigger on my rig and I love it. Honestly, I would go with the heavier "hunting" trigger if I had it to do over again as the comp trigger is just too light for most uses (read: dangerous). That said, I freakin love the crisp and predictable break of this trigger and...

    Gunsmithing Shilen Ratchet Rifling?

    I run a Shilen 8-twist .284 Win barrel that is the Ratchet groove and it shoots the lights out. With careful ammo development, it will deliver bughole performance. I can't really speak to any comparisons with other brands or models. Hope that helps! -Bryan

    Gunsmithing Action Question

    I went with a somewhat unconventional action that has worked out VERY well for me. I run a Shilen DGR action. It's basically a Stiller Predator that has two unique features - it's a Remington 700 footprint (stocks, triggers, etc) but is threaded for Savage pre-fit barrels and it has a floating...

    Gunsmithing Short action .284 Win "tactical"l build on a Shilen action/barrel

    Shot ASC this past weekend with what will likely be my permanent load. It's on the hot side but is safe (at least up to 80 degrees) and shoots the freakin lights out. If the ammo gets wet or the temp goes up to 100 deg, it might develop sticky bolt syndrome. The Berger bullets are...

    ASC Spring 2014

    Ditto what Jon said. I really appreciate the immense effort that the staff puts into this. This shooting event is truly special. Good seeing everyone again. -Bryan
