    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Looking towards savage. I can cut costs by swapping the barrel on my own I hope. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Well... Thanks all. I sat down and detail searched the pricing on this. Just a trued action and barrel brings me to a grand despite my discounts. I even searched custom actions and wont save anything. I guess I will have to look for a complete rifle and cry every time I need to change...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    I tried stockade but their site seems to not be working. All of the links come back as 404 errors. Now onto breaks. I like the jp recoil eliminator as it is less likely to start fires like ive seen at the local gun club. With an 18" barrel it may not be advisable because I may be in a blind...

    Im thinking even a 150 in that speed would work. Such things require me to be on a range pulling a trigger to know for certain. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    I use point blank software. Its close to real for a free program. Its just I need actual velocities to work it correctly. Are there any places to get a more cost effective rifle stock than mcm or manners. Manners are more expensive than mcm and mcm are hard to duracoat. The cost of the...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    I normallly agree with you on the cleaning. It takes 3 rounds for my off the rack rifles to settle now that I said bye bye to molybdenum. But it was just an observation and I have no problem with the single cut rifling as I'm sure it will make a bullet go round and round. I fowled my deer guns...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    I clean it to the point of no fowling on the patch. The flyers have been consitent on cold bore oiled barrel. I only do this before storage as moisture in my house does horrible things. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Back to the 5r. I'm prone to end up using iosso or jb bore cleaner at some point in the life of the barrel due to If its still dirty a after Ive worn out two brushes and used about 20 patches and 2 different solvents and kroil. I get impatient and bust it out. From a first look it looks like the...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Primary use would be whitetail but with my network of associates grows with more advanced rifleman then myself. Advanced training and learning in precision shooting on the tactical side of the spectrum will probably follow. I see benifits from such skill set improvements for hunting and I like...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Thanks for the heads up onthat. It hit me in bed this morning to look at recoil pads. I've used some good ones and if they are slippery (Sticky rubber doesn't work for fast shouldering) that my help tame the recoil. I'm just not sure on balance. With a wood stock its easy to remove or add a...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Well, Im kindaa stuck on Krieger simply because they are 2.5 hr away and have good customer service thus far. I've kind of decided on an 18" barrel with 1:10 twist. I read about the 1:12 and some kind of drift reduction. I haven't picked out a contour, I haven't got as far as what rifling type...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Perhaps I should post in here asking someonr to get me rough measurements on the aac-sd so I can get a similar Krieger. 6 different forums and a boat load of posts and all I could find is the dimensions for Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Indeed it would. I just wanted a trued action and was set on building from the ground up. Im stuck trying to match the barrel of the aac-sd with a Krieger bbl. I wanted a little more than just a hunting rifle. I wanted one tgat could at least show up on an informal target shoot and maybe...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    I weighed a bunch of bolt guns I have sitting around. I can probably manage 10 # with optics. With my rule of paying 50% to 100% of the cost of the rifle for optics the weight of those optics usually get a lot lighter with the exception of my millet which weighs 2.5 pounds on its own. Sent...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    It looks like big green pulled it off with the weight. I suppose I could duplicate the rifle with slightly better components and a trued action. I haven't known the barrel torque to be correct allong with other issues related to mass produced rifles. With a hogue stock, the weight is probably a...

    Gunsmithing A new deer rifle.

    Hi all, I decided last Saturday that my 45/70 is just to slow. This lever gun replaced my 30-30 in an effort to push through brush. I use a 300 Win mag for fields. This cartridge is ok and will amply cover the 500-700 yard opportunities; however, the factory low end Winchester model 70 may not...
