    Ruger 480 brass

    I have been waiting for some new 480 brass for over a year but i have not been able to locate any. Is there anyone who would sell me some once fired brass? If so, please let me know what you have available. Small quantities would be fine also. I live in Alaska but the USPS flat rate boxes work...

    Leica 1600/Keep it or upgrade?

    C.O. Shooter, I went through a similar thought process a couple of years ago. I chose to sell the Leica range finder and purchased Geovid 8x42 so that I could carry one combo bino/range finding unit with shooting solutions included. I have mixed feelings about my choice yet I can't ignore the...

    How hard is it to build a rifle by yourself??

    Apparently I was wrong and you don’t understand the relationship of the action to the other components of a rifle. Apparently you thought I was stating an opinion. It is a physical fact (physics) that a specific “brand” of action has nothing to do with the accuracy of a rifle. How the components...

    How hard is it to build a rifle by yourself??

    I am kind of curious as to what the point of these comments are? For example, “A Savage action will never be a Bat action ever!” What is your point? I will assume (maybe I am wrong) that you understand that the specific brand of action has NOTHING to do with the accuracy a rifle. So, with that...

    Bighorn action and proof prefits.

    Greyfox; Great information and great shooting! I think I will go take a look at the Criterion barrels now. I noticed that you have the Lt Palma on the rifle in the photo, did you go with that contour on the other rifles also?

    POLL: Preferred Combination of Turrets and Reticle?

    I use both only because I started with MOA so I still have MOA scopes on some rifles. I will be honest and admit that I started with MOA scopes because I didn’t take the time to really learn the MIL system. Now that I have taken the time to learn the MIL system I am starting to understand why...

    Bighorn action and proof prefits.

    So I will assume since you have three of these chassis that you have had good luck with them. I went back and forth for quite some time trying to decide between the 6.5x284 and the 6.5 PCR. Still not sure I am making the right choice but I suppose and can add the other later if i want. :)...

    Bighorn action and proof prefits.

    First, .300 WM is my favorite hunting cartridge. Second, I now want to build a LR paper/steel puncher and I think it will be a 6.5 PRC. I can't decide between the MPA hybrid or the Manners PRS1? Sorry Hbomb11, my intention wasn't to highjack your thread.

    Bighorn action and proof prefits.

    Hbomb11, Thanks for that information. I did not know that Proof made a prefit shouldered barrel specific for the Bighorn action. I may give that option a try, even though it does make me a little nervous. The more I think about it though, if I can trust that they cut the barrel accurately, I...

    Bighorn action and proof prefits.

    When you say "They," I assume you are referring to specific barrels that are cut with Savage threads but designed to shoulder on the action? If so, does is matter what action the barrel is shouldered on? In other words, do the prefits that are designed to be shouldered need to be action specific...

    Bighorn action and proof prefits.

    I have never built a rifle (getting ready to) so I am a little confused about the question and a couple of the responses here. Maybe someone can help me understand this? The way I understand this issue is that Bighorn cuts all their actions for Savage small shank thread tenons. So when looking...

    Magnetospeed vs labradar

    I don't know if you saw the following youtube video where the fella purchased both and reviews them. I don't know if it is appropriate to link to videos on this forum so if not (and the video is removed); copy/paste the following into youtube search: Labradar Vs. MagnetoSpeed Chronographs (1)...
