I've used Varget in mine for the lighter projectiles. My Shilen barreled .260 will put 120 Noslers in the same hole behind 38.5 of varget. That said, it's a bit quick for the .260 and doesn't yield the best velocities. H4350 is suposedly the best powder, but I never could get it to shoot the...

Bump!

I've recently started shooting sporting clays quite a bit more, and I'd like to sell my AR15 to add to the shotgun collection. I’m primarily a bolt shooter for rifles, and this was my first AR. I just can't get into them like I thought I would. The AR is in great shape; it's got a nic right...

loosesniper2000, Dig; Thanks for the replies; I'm surprised I haven't brought down the hosting servers with the number of searches I've done on these forums, and several others. I'm just trying to draw out as much additional content as I can before I drop a good bit of money. I'm leaning...

Hey Guys, I've just completed building a new Savage/Shilen .260 Remington build, and I'm looking to top it with some new optics. It will primarily be a bench gun spending time at 100-700 yards, but may see 1-2 white tail trips a year. I'm looking for something in the 6-20ish power range...

JB will ALWAYS come out black. It's a metal polish, and just like any other used metal polish it will come out black. Don't try to get it to come out clean or you might end up with a smooth bore before the day is over

The midway links aren't working so I took some pictures this morning. http://home.austin.rr.com/mikesguns/Rest%20018.JPG http://home.austin.rr.com/mikesguns/Rest%20019.JPG http://home.austin.rr.com/mikesguns/Rest%20021.JPG

I have a LNIB "Caldwell Rock BR1000 competition bench rest" with 2 caldwell delux rifle bags for this specific rest (medium and narrow sizes). I also have a "protector" all leather rear bag and to carry the rest, I have a caldwell "rest nest" case. The Rest...

I picked one up in .223 the day they were in stock at Cabelas. I sold the stock and X-Mark Pro trigger on ebay and ended up with a barreled action for about $375. I purchased a take-off HS Precision stock for about $200 and a 2oz Rifle Basix trigger for $100 and ended up with a REAL tackdriver...

I used Marine-Tex and a Dremel. I didn't let it sit for a week, just 3-4 days. It seems to work well. I didn't get as fancy as you, however I think it does the job. I would be more worried about that flimsy looking recoil lug than the bedding job. It requires you lift from an exact 90 degree...

The barrel is a bull barrel. It also is not contacting the stock in any way. You could probably drive a semi through the gap in the barrel channel. I'll slow down next time and see what happens.

It takes about 10 minutes for me to shoot a 5 shot group. It was 50 degrees out with a 5mph or so wind in my face. I doubt you could even call the barrel warm.

Gentlemen, I recently found a load that I can FINALLY get to shoot out of my Rem 700 in 300 RUM, however it seems to be a bit inconsistent. I just got back from the range today where I fired 30 rounds of the exact same load. Temps were about 50 degrees. I can put 3 rounds in the exact same...

Wouldn't you want to flute the barrel only BEFORE the last stress releaving cycle you put the barrel through?

I've never tried to accurize an SKS but I would imagine you could do the following: -Get a unfinished hand guard and give it a tight fit to the lower stock thus keeping the barrel in the same position at all times. -Try to fit the stock to the stock retaining peice under the gas block to give...
