    Building A Rifle This Easy?

    I hate to be that guy, but I guess I'm being that guy who is a little off topic. Please consider the 22 Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist. Depending on what freebore you get it can take a range of bullets an open you up to some very long range varmint hunting (So can a 22-250 speced the same but you...

    Having a factory barrel threaded yay or nay

    All 5 of my factory Tikka rifles were threaded, for a suppressor, after the fact, by a Gun Smith. The worst shooting one, 6.5X55 with suppressor, still shoots a solid .5 moa with the others shooting even better with my reloads.

    Thoughts on neck turning

    I do neck turn to about a 90% clean-up and now I don't have to ask myself if it would help. I shoot 5 Tikka rifles which are know for accuracy and the worst one shoots .5 moa with my neck turned brass with the others being much better. Is it the Tikka, the prepped brass, I don't care, happy...

    Which caliber for Remington 700 long action (3006 bolt face) rebarrel?

    There is so much overlap with many of the suggested and what you already have. I would humbly suggest you consider the 25-284 shooting the 131 grain blackjacks. Look it up, run the ballistics, bet you will love it....

    Top 5 hunting rifles under $2K

    If you want a 6.5 PRC then you will need a magnum bolt face. If it were me I would by a Tikka in 300 WSM (PRC not available until late next year) Then get a criterion Pre-fit from Solid Accuracy for it. Last time I talked to them said they would do a shouldered for the same price as a barrel nut...

    22 250 vs 243 advice.

    Have you considered the 6BR? Based on your requirments, distance, wind bucking capability and low recoil I think this would be almost perfect and not so overbore that that you pull off target, reduced chance of dangerous through passes and great barrel life. You could simple rebarrel to .223...

    .204 Ruger

    I have two Tikkas in 204 and love them but very hard to find in the US. I own this gun (CZ 527) in 17 Hornet and really like it too, would not hesitate to have one in 204. The single set trigger is awesome and extremely accurate. You have to scroll down to find the .204 left hand and of...
