Any particular brand barrel or profit maker you would recommend? I was thinking of Criterion because I know a handful of guys that have had good luck with them on there prairie dog guns, and seeing how abused the barrels get on these guns I wasn’t opposed to trying one because they are going to...

Nice to know. I was thinking of doing a 17HMR if all goes well.

Nice looking rifles. Everything head spaced correctly and went together well I take it? Any regrets on the TL3 or SR3? I do not have any experience with the big horn actions but I like the idea of the CRF and mechanical ejector.

Let me start my saying I am not trying to take on these projects as a means of saving money but as a point of pride and personal interest in building my own rifle. I have plenty of custom rifles and I have done a good amount of upgrading factory rifles on my own very sucessfully. I am planning...

Anyone who can’t rebarrel a M70 doesn’t know what they are doing. The action has been around forever and was/still is a very popular rifle. If I were going with the Winchester and you wanted more than a 300 win mag I would go 338 Win Mag. I had an x-bolt in 325 WSM and got rid of it, ammo is...

It’s LRP they advertise it on the podcast

I have lots of both brands, and I would got with the Swarovski unless you plan on holding a lot. The only thing I don’t like about the X5 is how much of a pain it is to reset the zero stop. Glass and turrets are both absolutely top notch.

What am I looking at between the Action and Barrel? It doesn’t look like a normal recoil lug.

On the weight thing this is what my friend recommended and I thought it made a lot of sense. I went through my safe and thru a bunch of my existing rifles on my back until I found one where I said this gun is the maximum weight that I would want to carry a long way on a hunt. Then I took all...

No they are different bore diameter. 6.5 creed is .264”. you may be able to rechamber to a 6mm creed but the twist rate on the rifling is probably not fast enough for a 6 creed.

Yeah the m48’s are pretty much just polished up Howa’s. Go for the Christensen if those are your only 2 options.

I am debating between these two as well and I would go for the Varmint Stainless if they had it here in the states, but they don’t. I was thinking stainless CTR , but was wondering how the barrel contours compare. I want the heaviest barrel contour available since I intend on prairie dogging...

I use off a BOG Deathgrip regularly and I like it a lot. It’s a clamp similar to a hog saddle built onto a carbon fiber tripod that doesn’t use a vertical stem. For hunting I believe it to be a nearly perfect solution. I wish the clamp could be removed so the tripod could be multipurpose but...

Fierce, MOA rifles, Best of the West, and Seekins Precision Custom Shop are some of the ones I’m aware of. I have a Gunwerks (28 Nosler), a Fierce (300 Win Mag), and several Seekins (6.5 PRC and 300 PRC). I am very happy with all of them.

My current favorite is my Fierce Carbon Edge with a Swarovski X5i in 300 Win Mag. Perfect weight to be light to carry but have enough weight to hold steady. Very light recoil given the caliber. Shoots Hornady factory 200 gr eldx ammo at less than 1/2 MOA.
