Man that's funny! I had the same rifle, same problems. Just posted about how the damned barrel tension screw would back out no matter what I did, and the external extractor fell off.....great design, heavy as hell for what it was. Cleaned it all up, replaced what I could, sold it

Taurus 24/7 "Millenium" 9mm. Not only would it jam constantly, eventually the trigger broke. Sent it back, said they didn't have replacement parts? Robinson XCR. Sorry Robinson, I know it has potential. Bolt that held the barrel on (tension screw) came loose no matter what I put on it for...

I'm a 10mm addict! Well on top of many other whiskey borne decisions, lol. I have a G20 SF, I purchased used for a great price. Had the slide done by Zev, KKM precision barrel, custom porting, and the grip redone by Danger Close armory (grip reduction, beavertail addition). Very accurate...

I bought a few items, they worked, kinda get what you pay for. I got a 6.5 Grendel upper, and it was actually pretty accurate, side charger. Handguard was super heavy and coating was powder coat in stead of cerakote

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I have the XLR Atom Magnesium chassis. I am looking for the lightest buttstock configuration out there.

Greetings all. Putting together a very lightweight 6.5 PRC. I have most of the parts now, just unsure of the lightest buttstock out there. I have the XLR Atom magnesium chassis. Instead of the standard AR buffer tube, and plastic stock....was wondering if anyone had input on a very...

I have a very good friend who is a South African hunting guide. He grew up in Rhodesia, and his family hunted for all of their meat. His family used British .303 rifles up until the mid 80's, then added a couple of rifles in 30-06. Everything from dangerous game, to Kudu. That 30-06 is...

I use LRI (Long Rifle Inc. For barrels, I'm a Columbia River Arms guy (used to be black hole weaponry), also really good specials from Lilja, and great customer service. BTW, ER Shaw, had very good luck with them, and they run regular specials.

.338 Lapua, 20" barrel, she'll be fine! One of our ranch managers hunts elk with a beat up and crusty .243. He takes one every year. For younger folks, I always go back to something lighter recoil. The 7mm-08 will be just fine, as would a 6.5 (the devil), Creedmore.

SImilar deal on my end. I started with an EoTech because I was in thick brush type woods....then I went to a friends place....all open fields and power lines. Couldn't put horns on a buck, and I missed out because I wasn't sporting my bino's. Switched up to a Vortex 1-6 LPVO. Much happier now.

I'll second Underwood!!! I used to carry a Taurus ultra light in .44 mag.....but the cylinder release is too complicated for a quick reload. Went back to my Glock 21. Anything Underwood is a significant upgrade over whatever else is on the market. A few brain shots on hogs with my long...

There are just so many good choices out there. My boss has a working/hunting ranch in WY, and it's kinda funny, our main guide takes elk with a ratty old .243. Of course it's all about shot placement, and how close. For long range, I personally love my .338RUM, and .33 Nosler. .338 RUM...

all I can tell you....dump that rifle basix trigger in the creek and get a Timney. It's garbage.

Just got through with this horrible rifle basix trigger setup. Purchased a "drop in" trigger for my Savage 110. I rebarelled it for .33 Nosler. First off, I work on rifles all the time, generally build my own for the most part. I could not get this triggers sear engagement to work, or set...

My boss owns a Wyoming hunting ranch. The guide uses a beat up .243 to take elk. Just goes to show....sometimes it might not need to be the carbon fiber titanium hammer in the Snap On tool box.....but the beat up old hammer hanging on the wall. Both accomplish the same task. Now that...
