Built one a couple of weeks ago. Trued a Remington short action, Lilja 1:8 twist barrel, 80 g Hornady ELD-X shoot "lights out". Manson Reamer.

Last fall I bought a Rem M700 SPS .243, it was cheap. Came home, removed the barrel, stock and trigger, threw them away and kept the bottom metal. Ordered a Bartlein 3B (bull sporter) 1:7 twist barrel. Called up Manson Reamers and ordered a .22-250 AI reamer and go gauge. I also ordered a...

Check out the above, these work extremely well, designed to carry a handgun as well as binoculars up to 15x56. Designed by a former Army Ranger who is an avid hunter (and is also my son). These are available in a variety of colors/camo and they have front opening (away from body) models as well...

Since 2019 I've harvested deer, elk and pronghorn from 420 to 700 yards thanks to my Kestrel 5700 eliite, with link. I also shoot steel out to 1k yards. It's an indispensable component of my hunting/shooting "kit". One bit of advice, that others have alluded to, is be sure to truth your...

Looks like obvious over pressure signs to me😳 You're getting good advice to reduce the load.

Ditto, bead blasting is a good option.

Where I am, Salmon Idaho. The wind here isn't near as bad as many places in Wyoming!!
