I am very familiar with the Answer brake. They are IMO the best in looks and recoil reduction. We install brakes, we call em HD Brakes. They are identicle to the Answer brake. The guy who made brakes for Answer split off from Answer and bought part of the company. He did not get the rights to...

I know the Larue targets are 500BR 3/8" and at 100 yards we slice through it like butter with a 300 RUM 220 GR SMK and with a 6.5-06 139GR Scenar. A 300 Win at 100 yards will not hole it, it just makes a very small pock mark. Celt

I have used Spooge for years, since I worked at Answer Prioducts as head smith. While there, we refined it twice. Now running my own shop I use it, and sell it. It is the best stuff I have tried, although I have not tried that montana stuff, since Spooge works so well I need nothing else. it...

Chris, You almost got it right I got my start in gunsmithing about 15 years ago in my house. I had a terribly small basic gunsmith shop and only did minor work like parts replcements and hot water bluing. I then went to work at Bachelder custom arms where I did warranty work for most of...

A 300 RUM built for an ESPN2 producer. The show is called "The international spor"tsman series. Should air this fall I am told. He has a Baboon at 900 plus yards and a Crow at 1275 ish yards so far on film. Both first shot hits. Ammo from Superior Ammo by Larry Barnett. She was shooting around...

It should not matter if they gaul a little if you are going to rebarrel, since the threads in the action will be trued anyways. the only time I ever have seen threads get damaged on a Remmy of any kind is when someone forgot to take the plug screw out of the first base hole. It was in far...

We have a load that shot pretty good so far with the 300 WSM and a 175GR SMK from a 1-10" twist barrel. The chamber is cut with a min spec reamer with a .3085" parralel throat. Same throat dimensions that the 308 M-852 match reamer uses. Has anyone else had any luck or exopieriance with MagPro...

Walther tubes do fine for this caliber as well. Here are a couple groups from a #2300 contour barrel 28" long 1-10 twist shooting factory Remington 180GR Scirrocco ammo at 100 yards. Celt

Cool. I hope I didnt sound like I was Bit(hin or anything. It is hard to get expression accros on a key board especially when you are a lazy typer like myself and neglect to put in little smileys Hope you get you rifle problem worked out. Take care Celt

OK, I'll try again. The recoil lug / action face is probably not true to the OUTSIDE or inside of the action. Even a trued action can have the lug off a little bit from the OUTSIDE of the action, although it will be trued where it counts and that is the bolt bore center. The lug being off a...

When I bed a stock, I bed from tang to tip, with the barrel floated .060" to.080" from the recoil lug out depending on the stock and barrel. I tape off the barrel to create the float and bed the whole barrel channel. This combined with bedding the action area will result with the barrel being...
