Probably just a timney, put them in a few rifles and they may not be the best but much better than any factory trigger I’ve come across

Well I’m in the PNW and I am a fair person. I’ve heard lots about using savage actions, but have never owned a savage rifle so I have been weary about using one. But it might be something to look into.

Interesting, I’ll have to research into that. I was thinking 6.5 for the higher coefficients, but I have also been wanting a new coyote gun, that might be a heck of a coyote/bench gun.

That’s a nice build. Yea I definitely won’t be shooting bench rest classes. I was also thinking of maybe a thumb hole, but wasn’t sure about the look. I don’t mind it actually. Looks good. Thank you!

Thank you, yes my father tells me that often. I agree a very well thought out and built gun would be the best, but I also don’t have unlimited funds.

Thank you! Yes I definitely want the gun to feed smoothly. Yes I might consider going heavier, but would like it to still be manageable to carry for a day if I wanted to.

Thank you! The bench rest shooting I’m intending to do is just hit steel at 1000, like a silhouette target. Nothing crazy. Accurate, yes, but am I accurate enough to shoot good groups at 1000, no. As far as the choice of barrels goes, I would like it to be light enough to throw on a pack for a...

Hello all, I’m wanting to build a gun for a little bench shooting. Nothing past 1000 yards on the regular. I have an old JC Higgins model 50 that I picked up for $100. It shoots decent but I think it would be a good platform for a re-barrel. First of all I was wondering if the commercial fn...
