Next build will be a 6mm AI. Already have an brand new 700 BDL action with bottom metal and a Hogue OM full bed stock. Waiting for a Krieger to get in and am shopping for a scope. I'm planning on just doing a fit and chamber and accurizing rather than a full blueprint because the action is...

Well about the 3rd time I needed ammo or components and couldn't find aforementioned ammo or components after spending the better part of a weekend looking in every gunstore/Wal-Mart/etc. store in town and realizing I wasn't going to be able to go to the range, shoot prarie dogs or reload ammo...

Hard to tell until you do some shooting with em'. The trouble with starting out is that you are ill equiped to evaluate where your sources of inaccuracy actually are. The all important question is whether you are capable of shooting your rifle so that you approach the capability of the rifle...

I have a pair of the factory 1" rings that have never even been used that I'm willin' to part with. Gimme an offer.

Put a scope that you trust to hold zero and track correctly on the rifle. If it continues to hold zero. You know it was a scope issue. If it does the same thing your old scope did. You know you have a gun issue.

also depends on what rifle you're loading for. Doesn't make much sense to do full benchrest prep on a factory rifle. On the other hand if you're shooting a fully blueprinted rig you may want to do every little thing possible.

I have some experience shooting at those ranges with a friend of mine. And you don't just shoot in any conditions. I don't care how good your optics are, out here (southern Colorado) you could have the hubble telescope mounted on your rifle and you wouldn't hit anything if the mirage is up...

For the purposes of what I consider this site to be geared toward I would say between 20-25X. However, every rifle I have has a purpose and the magnification of the scope reflects that. I wouldn't put a 6.5-20X on a heavy rifle that I intended to take to africa for instance. Likewise I...

well, not to cast asparagus on your efforts to date. But scouting this early is sorta like peeing in your hip waders. It gives you a temporary warm feeling which quickly passes. Summer range for the boys you're after is going to be quite a bit different than where they're going to be during...

Unfortuneatly, the news has been "exciting" for close to two years. It would really be exciting if the .338's were in the stores right now so we could have loads ready for the fall.

Only if you had an extremely canted base, like 60-100 MOA for shooting extremely long range. Otherwise you're just setting yourself up for poor cheek weld and a large short range line of site/bore axis descrepancy.

The LEE classic cast press is a very good press for the money ($70). The lee scale is functional and at $20, if you're just startin' out I don't think you'd be giving up much. If you don't plan on loading large quantities of ammunition, I don't think you really need a powder measure. You can...

Provided you are loading to safe pressures, I don't think it matters much. Having good reloading techniques, a proper cleaning regimen and not heating your barrel up are what effects your brass and barrel life. In all but very few cartridges it would be tough to notice an appreciable...

Re: MAKE OFFER - Rem 700 Action - LA - SS - Includes Pics Well hope you don't have to. But if you do.....I'd be willin' to give you three bills, find a nice deep hole to throw that *** bolt into and have the action reworked into something that's worth a crap.

Re: MAKE OFFER - Rem 700 Action - LA - SS - Includes Pics It's got the locking bolt too I see. Give ya $300 shipped iffin' ya don't sell it to someone else.
