MDT makes short action WSM magazines. If they make a chassis that fits your rifle you’re good to go.

There was a time when PRS guys were all buying FGMM .308 because it was cheaper than their cost+time in reloading and just as accurate as anything they could load. Off the shelf ammo can be great these days.

I would get an EGW rail, or DNZ direct mount rings. Most people like to mount the scope as low as possible for shooting prone, but it really all depends on how you shoot and how you’re built.

7mm Rem Mag is probably the best do-it-all cartridge available, especially in terms of on the shelf ammo availability. That doesn’t mean us .277” folk can’t have our fun and stretch out the performance in our caliber. Cartridge design is all about finding niches and incremental changes and...

Hell yeah! What units did you hunt?

The 1911 world really has this covered with the “semi-custom” class of guns like Nighthawk and Wilson Combat. Maybe the rifle world needs to adopt similar terminology.

One more benefit of this is if the SAAMI spec calls for a 1:8 or 7.5 twist barrel, it’s gonna help spur more companies to make faster twist .277” barrels for their older cartridges. Everybody has known heavy bullets and fast twists are good, but there was no factory ammo demanding it for the...

Looks like it was officially announced today. Two Winchester and a Browning load to be available to start.

2800 FPS from a 24” test barrel with a 103 ELDX. https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/rifle/6mm-arc-103-gr-eld-x-precision-hunter#!/

Basically this. Chrome lining involves intentionally roughing the bore, so it takes extra special care to do it and keep a barrel a tight shooter. FN has a reputation for doing it well, so does Criterion.

Get an 5.56 AR with a barrel between 10.3" and 16" long, a bright weapon mounted light, a decent red dot, and some quality expanding ammunition and you have the best (indoor) home defense weapon you could ask for.

No doubt. This thread has really demonstrated the different views people take into the deer woods with them. Glad I've got until October to parse through it all.

In Oklahoma, the varmints are two legged and on meth. Sidearm definitely recommended unless you're hunting with an AR.

I've always hunted whitetail within a quarter mile of the cabin. Close enough it's easy to come back in when things seem dead. My cousin got married and has step kids now, so now there's competition for all the close spots. I've got a few spots a mile plus into the woods scouted out, but now I...

You can contact ATF or have your congress rep contact ATF for you to find out why you're so far beyond the average processing time.
