Will that really answer my question? No one has ever custom made both and could compare specs and. Costs?

Hey guys, so I'm inTerested in a new project for myself. I want to build a custom LR rifle in 243 or 260 or build a custom ar-10 in 6.5 Creedmor. I'm trying to figure out what would be cheaper? Anyone have recommendations to get started?

Definitely! Someone should seriously set up a poll

What do you guys use on your wood stock rifles? I've heard oil is the worst thing for your wood stocks, then I heard you definitely should use it. Does anyone have any scientific studies or anything that shows what to use on wood stocks? Thanks!

What length bipod do you guys use in a hunting chair? I was thinking the Harris 13.5-27" but wanted to hear from people that have actually used one!

I don't believe in a cleaning method of break in a barrel, but I do believe when the velocity and accuracy settles down, that's when you know it's broken in. kids these days... Don't even read the original post, just the title of the thread

Exactly! I was simply asking how to make sure my barrel is in hunting condition. AKA I was asking how many rounds to put through for the barrel to be reliable!

Finally someone that understands what I was asking!! This answers my question!!!! Thanks boss!

The flaming part of my post was a quote from Gale McMillan. I appreciated your advice man! Thanks! But I was more so asking about a round count before the barrel accurizes... Rather than a break in procudure. Thanks for the help though!i definitely see your point

Im not really sure... I think so though

Thanks for the input. Check this out: As a barrel maker I have looked in thousands of new and used barrels with a bore scope and I will tell you that if every one followed the prescribed break in method A very large number would do more harm than help. The reason you hear of the help in...

I haven't shot it yet. I was planning on putting a box or two of cheaper Federal or Winchester ammo through it first just to get on paper and get used to recoil. And then putting in my expensive ammo, re sighting in at 100 then 200. And then dialing up to 600 and achieve Sub-MOA there... And...

I've done my research and believ it's a good way to wear the barrel out even more rather than get it to last longer. If you do the research you should come up with the results I did. I was simply asking is 20 shots through a barrel enough to have it "broken in" enough for it to be a consitent in...

First off, I don't believe in "breaking in" barrels with the cleaning between every shot. Seems like a total waste of time and a good way to wear out your rifle even faster. But I do have a question about when a barrel is ready to maintain accuracy. I just received my Sako 85 7mm rem mag, and...

These are all out wherever I look, what ammo should I go for next? 160g VLD? 180 VLD? Then maybe 150g Winchester Ballistic Silver tips? I am only hunting coyotes/deer so I see your point about not needing the 180g.
