I'll start by saying I've never pillar bedded before but after watching every video I could find I'm confident it'll be a fine job. I'm looking to do 2 of my rifles and maybe a 3rd. I've been looking at scorehigh kits and I'm curious do I really need them? Do you guys just buy some epoxy and...

I read the "Long Range Rig for Under $1000" article on this site and in the article the writer says if his donor action has a wooden stock, then he beds his action into that stock. In his opinion a factory wooden stock is as good (accuracy in mind, not appearance) as an aftermarket replacement...

Awesome shot! After the bull stopped rolling I see in the vid a rabbit or something ran straight down past him.

I assume you mean the 10/110 Trophy hunter? That package isn't available here in Canada, we can only get it with the weaver scope. That's not really a big deal as I really want the right action to build on.

Thanks sinarms! I hadn't planned on buying a package as I have a new 6-24x50 Tasco here I picked up for $50. I can always put the Nikon on my 22-250 so I'll have to swing by the hunting store and check them out! Thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future!

I'm planning a 7mm Rem Mag build. Will be used for moose/caribou and target, hopefully out to 800-1000yds. I'd like to purchase the rifle this summer, hunt with it through the winter and build it up next spring. I'm thinking I'll use a savage action, for ease of swapping barrels. I'll...

Thanks, I been thinkin about gettin into reloading but find it a little overwhelming at this point. There isn't any people close to me that are into reloading, people just use factory rifles with factory ammunition around these parts. Guess before I dive into a custom rifle I'll have to learn to...

Yeah I realize that. I'm just curious because I been considering building a (my first) custom rifle with a 1 in 8 or 1 in 9 twist, but I don't reload and was looking for factory ammo that would be good for this build.

Nobody?

Is there a factory round out there for 22-250 with bullet weight of 75-80 grain? I can't find anything on Nosler or Hornadys websites so I'm guessing the only option is to reload

Thanks that's the kind of answer I was looking for. What about the 50-60g bullets? Could they be used through a fast twist barrel accurately?

Hello guys. I been doing some reading on barrel twist rates and I understand the gist of it I think. Let's say 22-250, the normal 1 in 12 twist rate is good for 50-60g bullet weights, but a 75-80g bullet won't stabilize in that barrel. The heavier bullets need a tighter twist rates. Say I've got...

Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I saw this picture on the contest page and would love to know what stock it is, can anyone tell me? http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f105/long-range-rifles-llc-1-000-components-give-away-contest-46480/

Please post the pics! I love shooting off the bipod but I know when I do the barrel is always touching the stock, because the stock is bending. How much weight did it at to your rifle?

This might be a real dumb idea, but I've been thinking about trying to stiffen up the fore end of my savage edge stock. I was thinkin about taking out some material on each side of the "pillars". Take a couple composite (or other material) arrow shafts and fit them into the stock, where I took...
