    I'm Deciding Between a Criterion and Shilen Barrel at Northland

    I have been using Shilen bbls for a lot of years. Their Match bbls are outstanding!! If you are wanting a fluted bbl, Shilen will NOT do it. Read about it on their website

    It happened to me

    I think we have all done it, or will!! Mine was WW 748 and WW 231. Luckily 231 overfilled the 7 IHMSA

    building my own hunting rifle

    Putting together an accurate rifle is not a hit or miss project. I spent about a week at Colorado School of Trades learning the basics of doing an accuracy build. Then another week with a friend learning how 1970’s benchrest shooters did it. It is not that you can’t do it, but it is a process

    IMO, Warren Page’s book is still the definitive word on bench technique

    Looking for 500 to 1000 us range in Mississippi

    Anyone know of a 500 yd+ range in Mississippi? I built a 30-338 Win Mag now need a place to stretch it out! I know of one South of Shreveport, but that is a 3 hour drive Thanks for your help

    Best Bang for your Buck ....

    When you say benchrest, are you talking IBS or NBRSA?? In these it is all custom builds. 0.01” group gets you “thanks for attending” I believe Mr. McMillian’s world record still stands, 0.009”

    How short can I legally go?

    I never went shorter than 16 1/4”

    Any one rebarreled with a shilen lately?

    I used a Shilen match, heavy Sporter in .308 for a 30-338 Win Mag. Shoots 1/2 min at 200 yds

    What state for big deer and good seasons?

    Most of the states in southeast are OTC. Guided hunts??? How much $$$$ do/can you spend. If you watch hunting shows, real pricey!
