Just picked up the rifle today. Im still waiting on Shaw to finish the 6ARC barrel.
In the mean time im playing with some ideas.
I was curious if AICS mags would work with the STANAG fed guns and ordered a couple MDT mags when they were 1/2 off.
I also needed a stock and mag well capable of...
6mm Max cartridge was just brought to my attention by my FFL buddy.
This is from the website linked below.
"Why The 6mm MAX?
The 6mm MAX is pressure tested to SAAMI standards of 55k psi. It is a brand new cartridge designed for the unmodified mil-spec .378 bolt face, and a full mass bolt...
To be upfront this is a bit of a rant.....its also posted here because i believe it generally gets applied to rifle cartridges or equipment, more than other things.
That phrase has irritated me since the first time i heard it, even though I agree with the sentiment behind it.
"The person...
(Work in progress, ill finish this tomorrow as I need to retake some pictures and try somethings)
I took delivery of two Spina optics scopes yesterday. Ordered from amazon, these came directly from China.
2-12x44...
I recently received an EPL4 6-24x50 (Troy took a look at this one before sending to me so perhaps he can offer his opinion as well) and now have it mounted on my 7PRC.
This gives me an SH4 6-24x50, the EPL4 6-24x50, and an EP5 5-25x56, all mounted on fairly similar rifles (Savage 300PRC, Mesa LR...
Ive been on a wood stock kick lately, and when a used BDL stock came up in the BST i grabbed it for my .280AI.
Interestingly the stocks about 6oz lighter than my factory synthetic with the butt cuff installed. Ill probably core the butt a bit to push weight farther forward, as its a little tail...
I just got my 7-08 Mesa back from Christensen.
It was sent in for a couple hairline cracks in the stock, running from the rear of the inlet back.
I filled out the online form, got the rma and prepaid shipping lable, and had the hardest time getting a box. Other than that the initial process...
So i have another scope going back for repair (well replacement, because who actually fixes anything).
This time its a Vx-3hd, which I honestly think was bad from the get go, but slowly got worse untill it was obvious it wasnt just riding on a marginally accurate rifle.
The scope has been on my...
Just picked this up from my FFL buddy. It actually came in a couple weeks ago, but neither of us had time to do anything about it.
I did load some rounds before flying home last week, but we didnt get to shoot them.
Heres the rifle as received.
Certainly nothing spectacular except that...
Took a walk behind my inlaws place, and this herd of deer ran upto me twice.....i think they need to pick a new leader.....or they knew i wasnt hunting lol.
Been working/shooting some rifles/projects. None of these really deserve thier own thread tho so just gonna jumble them all together.
First up we have a 40cal first gen Sub2000.
Bought this gun used.
It appeared to already have had aftermarket parts installed, and the previous owner went to...
Just a short blurb.
I noticed about a week ago that when I turned on the illumination on my X5 that it would bleed over the entire image. This Is a recent development as ive owned it for at least a year and have not noticed a problem.
I contacted Riton for service and after one email asking...
So, a late-night "best offer" on Gunbroker turned into a Savage 7mag round back/non-Accu trigger.

While both stoked that I managed to get it for about 1/2 what they go for out here, AND that I have a new project after almost 6 months of not working on...
Just a heads up Euros got S20s on clearance, great rifles for the 1000-1200 they are listed at.

I wonder if they just weren't popular enough or if new versions are being released.
Just swapped the XR3 frame on my new to me 30 Carbine black hawk for a stainless SBH Dragoon frame and wanted to show it off.
This was a used frame i got cheap off gunbroker, so it was already fit to a different gun. As it is all the holes lined up, but the edges of the frame are a little proud...
It came up in another thread today that it's been a while since we did a shoot and post kinda thing, and it seemed like a good time to do another.
I happened to enjoy @ford8nr Rimfire Prove It thread, so I thought we might just do a direct reboot. The original thread can be read here...
This came up as a question in the rifle forum, specifically regarding how Peterson brass compared capacity-wise to other brands.
Having a fair selection (I shoot whatever I find) of CM brass on hand I figured Id weight and capacity check one of each from the brands I could find. If I turn up...
I ordered myself a Howa 1500 In 300WM for my birthday this year.
I was REALLY intending on just pulling the tube and turning this either into a .458WM or a .264WM, but that hasnt happened yet, and likely won't until I'm bored with the .300 again.
Anyway....
The rifle as ordered was a 1500 Game...
