Who is this guy? Anyone know his name? I want to invest in his business!

Thanks for the replies and the validation, guys! Now I just have to get my hands on some 30wsm brass. Lol. 👍

What do you think about a 300wsm for Alaskan moose? I know I can go bigger but is it enough, in your opinion, or to 600yds? My buddy that lives in Fairbanks says tons of guys are using 6.5CM out to 300yds with no problem; but I’d definitely like to shoot something with a little more oomph. I’ve...

I agree with you but I’m not sure I want to go with a wildcat right out of the box with this rifle. I know there’s one in my future, at some point, though.

Mine all like the Hornady Precision Hunter w/ 142gr ELDX. Lots of choice in 6.5cm. Nosler makes some great stuff also. There’s even some semi-custom loadings available online. Congrats! https://hendershots.net/product/6-5-creedmoor-extreme-custom-ammo/...

Is it possible to make full use of the Berger 156gr 6.5 Elite Hunters in a short action? I’m considering building a new short action rifle using a BigHorn SL3 I have with a SwitchLug on it. I’m going to have a 6 Creedmoor and a 300wsm barrel spun for it but I’d like to get a 6.5 variant for it...

I bought my wife tge 110 Predator in 6.5cm about 4-5 years ago and that thing is a tack driver even with factory ammo. It’s consistently sub .55 MOA 5-shot groups. I liked it so much I built a custom 6.5cm that cost about 4x what I paid for her Savage at the time. It shoots .25moa. Honestly...

Yes, the color thing is no big deal. I’m not a big fan of Cerakote inside actions as I’ve had a couple horror stories with Cerakote that was applied too thick. It’s got me jumpy when it comes to items with tight tolerances, like custom actions. That’s why I chose to buy a Nitrided Defiance...

Now I’m hearing that the Bighorn bolts are actually NP3 coated, standard. If this is the case, then DLC coating “the action” should provide the slickest action I can get out of the SR3. I’m waiting to hear back from Bighorn for clarification if I have it right. Your comment about the...

I’m ordering a new SR3 from Bighorn and I’m not sure whether to spend the extra money on having the action DLC’d? The bolt comes DLC coated either way. My other custom actions are Defiance and one is uncoated and the other is Nitrided- bolt and action. I love the rifles but I’m hoping for a lot...

I ended up getting a new Evo Pod over the Atlas because of the quick change, non rotating legs but if you’re looking for a truly light weight option to minimize the weight of a chassis, check out the Javelin. I’m thinking about getting one for backpack hunting. Here’s the longer version that’s...

When I talked to them about an EH3 in January they said 9+ months. I ended up going with a McMillan made for and sold by Hill Country Rifles. They (HCR) said 4 months and I got it in 4 months and 1 week. Love Manners but the wait has just been too long for me recently. Several GS's I know said...

Ok. I'll give them a call and ask. Thanks Harper!

You could need to have your firing pin bushed but I didn't have to on the Savage 10/110. I think that if you look at a spent round from your rifle and make sure your pin is making dimples in you primer that are well centered, you won't have any problems. However, if your dimples are way off...

Is that a leave-on or a one piece cover like this: http://www.cabelas.com/product/CABELAS-SPOTTING-SCOPE-COVERS/1816983.uts?productVariantId=3804031&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=03847076&rid=20&lsft=ref:212,loc:1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4dyIpp-l1wIVkVqGCh0tVQDAEAQYASABEgJCxfD_BwE...
