    6.5x284 Chamber Length Help

    Thanks for the help. That's the info I have been looking for. I was thinking that they mistakenly gave me the short action cut as well. I was worried about poorer performance and I was planning on sending the rifle back to have the throat re-cut; but I wanted to make sure that it would be worth...

    6.5x284 Chamber Length Help

    It has taken me a bit, but from what I've been able to find in the forum, the most common COAL for 140 VLD's at the lands is 3.19". The common range seems to be about 3.16" to 3.22". The Berger Reloading Manual lists the COAL @ 3.228". That seems a bit long to start at if you consider throat...

    Scope Mount on a Left Hand Rifle

    I appreciate the help. I have looked at Badger Ordnance's website before, but I never noticed that they do list left handed scope rails. Is the Murphy Precision their "over-the-counter" rail, or did you have to machine it for the LH action?

    Scope Mount on a Left Hand Rifle

    I've been lurking here for quite some time and have learned a ton. You guys ROCK! Now I need some specific help. I have a Left Handed Remington 700 that I am going to mount a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 on. I want to go with a one-piece picatinny base, either Nightforce or Seekins. I also plan...

    Better Late

    Hey All, My name is Joey and I am a farmer in Bakersfield, Ca. I have been cruising the threads here for quite some time and have learned a bunch. I thought that it was about time to say a proper "hello". I am married, 3 kids, and a grandchild. I grew up wing shooting and got into big game...
