    Got tired of shooting F Class in open with my 260 just completed an M40A3 for 600yr FTR

    Shooting my Nesika 260 in open class sucked. I also got tired of hiring b.s. from my buddy. Being left handed its tough to build a rifle a matter of a few weeks. I put a feeler out on the hide for a McMillan stock and within a day I received a reply. In a few days I was the owner of Badger M5...

    Experience with a fully built Shilen rifle?

    Hey guys, I just joined up and thought I'd get some opinions. I'm trying to decide between a fully built Shilen DGR (or maybe just a barreled shilen action or something of the like) and a Rem 700 build. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the DGR, or DGV for that matter, and just...

    Timmney, RifBasix, Jewell, Shilen for 700 Remme

    Lots of after market triggers with prices from 100 or so to near 300. How did you guys choose and why did you choose what you did. I looked at Rifle basix and if its really 2 1/3 ponds with no creep it sure seems hard to beat? Price alone does not dictate but it certainly is a factor for me.

    My shilen barrel!! I am a little shocked!!

    I have only had this barrel for about a month now and i did a modified brake in. 15 shots cleaning after every shot. I shot about 20 rounds through the barrel this week and just now got around to cleaning the barrel. The barrel was full of copper. It took quite a few patches and a good brushing...

    Shilen standard rem 700 trigger???

    I didnt go with the timney tactical trigger. Instead i just went with a standard shilen trigger. They are rated a 1.5# to 3.0# I hope this is a decent trigger. Anyone running one here?? Lee

    Gunsmithing Shilen barrel

    I was reading Midway and came across Shilen barrels with a pre-chamber (or something) and already threaded. Is this a good barrel and worth getting or should i just get a actual blank and have all the work done. The price seemed good to me($225ish). I am going to rebarrel a 700 action that...

    Gunsmithing Shilen Trigger Bolt Stop Release Question

    I have a 700 that I just put a Shilen trigger on. I didn't have the original trigger, so I bought a Rifle Basix safety kit and a Remington bolt stop release. Everything works great except the bolt stop release. The pin on the right side of the trigger seems to leave too wide a gap for the...
