    SOLD/EXPIRED Stiller Tac 338 Stock

    By a strange twist of fate I have what you are looking for sitting in my half finished projects bin although it may have more features than what you're looking for. It's a Bell and Carlson fully adjustable rem 700 opened up for the bigger diameter of the TAC338 receiver...

    Savage 338 Lapua barrel swap

    It was smart of you to ask the question, most people just drive right ahead. That being said, even if you had a large shank Lapua action I think this is one of those times where just because you can do it it doesn't necessarily make it a good idea. I've seen lug setbacks and threads deform on...

    Savage 338 Lapua barrel swap

    Even if you have a large shank long action it's not a good idea unless you have the proper one. All Savage Lapua actions are large shank but not all large shank actions can necessarily handle the Lapua. The Lapua actions go through a special hardening process that the regular long actions do...

    Muzzle device for short barreled rifle, noise aware shooter

    If you're expecting it to work anything at all like a suppressor you're going to be really disappointed. In fact even calling it a muzzle brake is a pretty big misnomer. Muzzle brakes direct gases back at an angle to create a "pull" against the "push" of recoil that is how they reduce it. A...

    Hand guns on bears

    Problem is they were asking the wrong question. The question is not can a 9 millimeter kill a grizzly because it can. A .22 might be able to kill a grizzly if you put it through its eye into its brain pan. The real question is what round can kill a grizzly before the grizzly can kill you. There...

    Chassis for 1.6 diameter Stiller Tac 408/Driver

    Just like the title says, Looking for a chassis for a 1.6 diameter Tac 408. There used to be a number of options, but now it's down to pretty much either the mccree's or the Cadex. Let me know what you have.

    Fellas, this one kinda hurt.

    I've had a couple of those in my day. Now when I have something like that in my watchlist I always put a reminder in my phone 1/2 hour before the auction closes. Haven't missed one since.

    Savage large shank for 1.5 diameter barrel?

    By the way that barrel might have been floating around for quite some time because if I recall correctly didn't Skip Otto die about a decade ago?

    Savage large shank for 1.5 diameter barrel?

    Yes and no, all the Savage Lapua actions are large shank actions, but not all large shank actions can necessarily handle a Lapua (.585) case. Savage Lapua actions go through a hardening process unique to them to help prevent lug set back, which from what I'm told still has a marked tendency to...

    Trigger drop test

    This is the absolute truth. It is true that no trigger should ever fire when set within its design range. However, when you get into the three and four ounce triggers that benchrest shooters use they can fire by simple momentum, they don't necessarily need to have anything wrong with them. By...

    Noob Question - New Lapua Brass Dented

    I saw this in the last couple of boxes of lapua's I used. I have a feeling there annealing the necks more than they used to.

    Hornady 6.5 max die splitting

    Like the others that is the first time I've ever seen something like that, kind of crazy. It has to be a problem with the heat treating of the die. There is enough steel there to probably form a solid brass rod into a case. As for cam over that would be compressive force, so if anything it would...
