Howa barreled action plus the bravo should be 900-1k, not 1300.So Howa Bravo for $1300, or Tikka CTR, swap to Bravo for $1300. Isn't the Tikka action smoother?
....When it comes to people just getting into precision rifles, I always suggest bergara. My factory HMR (not even pro) shoots sub .5moa if I am on top of my shit and about .8moa if I'm having a really bad day. I have had about a very small number of rounds fail to eject but its nothing worth complaining about.
If this is your first bolt action, I think the same concepts apply here as in the AR world. Buy your first rifle as a factory piece or have someone experienced put it together for you. Learn a little more about the system and how it works and go for a build somewhere down the line.
It is if he is planning to compete with this rifle.
Is the trigger in the DD 5 physically limited in its minimum trigger weight or is that a recommendation that you can override by turning the screw?
Anyone with experience or a written reference?
Got to say, that the Delta V barrel swap system is the biggest selling point to me.
I don’t care about PRS-but I do care about being able to swap barrels in 10 minutes with minimal tools.
You can swap barrels on any rifle in 10 min or less. No need for a silly switch barrel system.
I swap out shouldered barrels on my "PRS" gun between 6BRA and 6.5 Creedmoor occasionally. Takes me about 5 min, and all you need for tools is an action wrench, torque wrench and barrel vice - in my world I would call that "minimal".
Much better rifles out there, and you are not really asking for anything that no other rifle can't do. Swapping out barrels is a lot easier than most seem to realize.
Kudos to you-I can’t.
What other rifles have AR style barrels with barrel extensions that are essentially plug and play? I won’t bother with chambering a barrel, headspacing, reamers, etc. I want none of that.
With the tikka in the krg, can you run AICS mags?Get a Tikka T3X CTR, or Varmint.
KRG X-ray chassis, yodaves sping on the factory trigger, and you are good to go.
My 308win CTR with 20" barrel is, was 0,5MOA rifle with KRG X-ray chassis, and looks awesome, or what do you guys think?

You are missing my point. I don't cut my own chambers or do my own threading.
Plenty of actions are held to suck tight tolerances that a gunsmith can spin you up a barrel without ever seeing your action (Bighorn, ARC, Impact, Lone Peak, Curtis, Terminus, etc).
The gunsmith sends you your barrel in the mail and you simply install it. Minimal tools and minimal time required. No need to worry about headspace or gauges with a shouldered barrel.
Can you install a light bulb? Changing a shouldered rifle barrel is essentially the same - turn to the right to tighten, left to loosen.
It's hard to do an FFL transfer on a bolt action rifle action? But easier to buy a shit Daniel Defense rifle ?
Yes.With the tikka in the krg, can you run AICS mags?
It's hot, but I am biased,

You kinda sound like you're not really sure how the process even works.
Buy it from Mile High, have it sent to an FFL for transfer, pay the fee ($50?! Maybe) and walk out the door.
They can't raise the price on something you already bought.
This. It really isn't that hard.
It’s pretty common here-if you buy a gun out of state and have it sent here the FFLs add a surcharge for the price difference.
Hell, AR lowers still go for a couple hundred bucks here from an FFL. I saw an Anderson lower at the gun shop down the street from me for $250.
And if I were to order one from PSA for $30 and have it shipped here? They can and do add a surcharge to make up the difference.
My local Turners is the only place that will even talk to me about bare bolt gun receivers. Only Remington 700 receivers and they wanted $500.
And that’s why 80% guns are so popular in CA.
Edit: as far as I know mile high doesn’t have a 7mm-08.
I don't understand the "make up the difference" bit, sounds unscrupulous at best and illegal at worst, if in fact you are correct.
As far as mile high, actions aren't cartridge specific. Order a action from them and then have someone spin you up a 7-08 barrel for it. Hell, have mile high spin up the barrel and send you a barreled action. Drop it in a chassis and you are gtg.
Or you can get a sub par rifle and get the DD bolt gun. Your call.
OP,
Where in Cali are you, cause you’re getting fucked.
There’s plenty of FFL’s here in San Diego that don’t screw you. They do charge tax (required now), but $65-80 is typical for an out of state transfer.
My last build (MHS supplied Origin action) went to my FFL just as pretty as you please. After the wait period, I sent it back to them for the barrel fitting, trigger tune and to ensure the chassis and mags functioned. When done, it shipped to my door. Easy peasy.
Nobody cares about 7-08, you can special order one from APO, but it will cost you extra
It's not popular enough to bother with if you want a 7-08 get a Tikka or something like that.
Then get a Tikka and slap it in a KRG Bravo or X-ray.
Still miles better than a DD.
Yeah I get that, but at $1300 for an action, $300 for bottom metal, then a barrel for what, $500? I’m at $2100 already, similar to the DD.
Can ya swap barrels on a Tikka in a few minutes with a wrench?
Sure sounds like it. Sigh...you can lead a horse to water....The difference is, the DD is a piece of shit, Askhole.
Yes, you can, but clearly you won't bother because you've bought into the bullshit DD is selling.
Enjoy your shit rifle, Everybody here has tried to steer you in the right direction but you're asleep at the wheel.
My favorite gif lately...

Bighorn for $850, barrel for $500, chassis for $400, $60 transfer fee. Now you have a custom rifle that is 2nd to just about none. Not sure what this "make up the difference" BS is. Not sure how the gun shop charging you more for a gun/action that you already paid someone else for. Maybe you are chump?Yeah I get that, but at $1300 for an action, $300 for bottom metal, then a barrel for what, $500? I’m at $2100 already, similar to the DD.

Well, I do.
But don’t worry if I ever want a Creedmoor I won’t bother y’all about it.
