Bumping this one up, anyone try this yet?

Thanks Beeman, that #3 Bartlein would be a similar contour to the #4 Brux. I’m glad you posted that though, I’ll take a look at the #3 Brux, I’m open to all ideas.

I’m putting together components for a new build. Action is a Rem 700 and will be chambered for a 300 WM. Stock will be a Gamehunter with Edge fill (1.75 lb). I’m looking at a Bartlein #3 fluted barrel finished at 25-26”. Would like to get some feedback from someone who has built something...

I have an 11 twist on my 300 WM. I think the heaviest I’ve shot are 200 gr Accubonds and they shoot real well. I would try the Bullets you’re interested in before re barreling. Also, use the Berger twist rate calculator on their site to give you an indication of bullet stability.

Thanks Z. Yes, just hunting but I want to make sure it’s 100% solid and as accurate/repeatable as possible. I want to keep the weight as low as I can with this but don’t want to sacrifice any accuracy, that is what got me wondering about the lug on the X-Treme Duty base.

I’m planning on upgrading the optics on my CA Ridgeline (30 Nosler) to a Nightforce NX8 2.5x20x50. I’m leaning toward the Nightforce Standard Duty aluminum base and their X-Treme Duty aluminum rings. Is this base enough or should I consider going to their X-Treme Duty steel base with the...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Ive been using open ended studs from that Power Custom glass bedding kit, along with their nylon or plastic bushings. I’ve also had decent success with wrapping a little tape on the studs to help center the screws. Ive only done 3-4 so far and it is getting...

I am getting ready to do an action bed on a Remington 700 in a McMillan stock. One thing I haven’t really been able to figure out is how much torque should I put on the action screws while the bedding is setting up? Using Devcon and McMillan calls for 40-45 in Lb when reassembled.

I think they’re all HD now. They don’t Mark it as HD since they dropped the standard model. This is a good deal on a great scope, I’d buy it but ordered a new one about four days ago.

Ok, thanks everyone for the input on this. It sounds like the quality of the coal is important. I’ve got a small stash of wood and I’m going to pick up some coal to offset any shortage of wood. dan1953 or anyone else, how do I know what good lump coal to look for? I don’t even know where to...

Yeah I checked the Four Dog website and it says wood or coal.

Thanks Pinoniper, nice to hear some firsthand experience on this.

I wasn’t sure where to post this so giving it a shot here... I’ve been thinking about burning coal in my stove this year. Stove is a three dog model from Four Dog Stoves. I’m only considering this because I no longer have a place to cut wood and not sure I want to buy it. Is anyone burning coal...

I’m looking hard at a new spotting scope and leaning toward this model. I’ve been using a Leupold GR 12-40x60 HD for the last 10-12 years and considering an upgrade. Just not sure how much of an upgrade in optics quality this would be. My GR is 40 oz and the Kowa is 28 oz., the weight savings...

Have you compared the Kowa 553/554 to the Swaro ATS 65 20-60?
