    Build Recommendations?

    I am in the process of obtaining a donor rifle/action for medium game hunting first, and LR Target shooting as a secondary activity. I'm interested in building, rather than just buying off the rack. My requirements are: Man portable: 10 lbs or less complete Caliber: .284 Performance range...

    Good Builder for a Tikka 595 based build?

    I'm not even done with a .308 build on a Savage action yet, and I'm starting to plan my next rifle. I have a Left Handed Tikka 595 in .308 (the predecessor of the T3 model). It's not nearly as accurate as my Tikka 595 in .223 so I plan to strip it for its action to build a new rifle on. It'll...

    Contemplating a ,260 build looking for some input

    I'm thinking about building up one of those SPR actions from CDNN. I'll probably get the one with the 5-round hinged floor plate and get a CDI bottom metal later when I can afford it. I'm thinking I'll put a Bartlein barrel on it and either a Manners or McMillan stock for it. What I'm unsure...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 .223 custom build?

    Hello from Australia ... I'm looking to build up a grunty .223 "back up" (ie, one that's a no brainer to shoot, and that I can toss to a buddy for a weekend) based on a Remington 700 action. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of .223 (my other Rems are in .308, and a VERY heavy '250), but...

    Gunsmithing NFA AR15 pistol build question

    I read somewhere that if I put a vertical forward grip on a AR15 pistol that it then becomes an NFA weapon. Is this true? Thanks in advance. Scott

    What to build? Need advice please...

    So I was cleaning my bolt hunting rifle the other day, and I realized there were no markings on it other than the caliber (30-06). Out of curiosity I took off the scope mount, and discovered that it's built on a Model 1917 action. I'm guessing it's some sort of a sporter version of the 1917...

    223 AI build on a Howa or Rem 700

    I have both actions available for this build. I like the Rem because you can get anything for it, but the Vanguard/Howa action seems to feed the 223AI much easier and smoother IMO. I've been reading a lot about the 223AI and the 75 amax bullets. Seems to be a great little setup in an 8 twist...
