  1. What would a new action have to do to stand out?

    With the number of high quality actions available now and the number of various personalities behind them, there seems to be something out there for everybody to support (or avoid) already. What would a new action, or manufacturer, have to do to stand out in the crowd? Conversely, what would be...

  2. 22 creedmoor

    I’m looking to do a custom rifle build in 22 creedmoor. I want to do it on a budget still after quality equipment but I’d like to stay under 2k rifle alone. Anybody have any suggestions on fairly priced but good quality parts?

  3. Need sights soldered to rifle.

    Howdy, I have recently purchased a custom Carcano rebarreled to 7.62x39. The original owner tried to epoxy the sights on with out much luck. Could any of y’all help me out or tell me where to send it too? I’m not sure if my local guy will try such a project, but I’ll ask on Tuesday. I also have...

  4. Benchrest rifle -- considering a new build

    Am thinking about building a decent bench target rifle. I am not nearly so "up" on the various rifle components makers as many on this forum are, so I'm looking for some guidance on what to consider. Some background: I'm no gunsmith. Nothing like it. Need a competent, quality gunsmith for...

  5. looking for a gunsmith to thread my barrel, central MD

    I'm looking to have a Criterion barrel threaded with the Q/Sig taper. The closer to Central MD, the better. The local guy I've used before wasn't interested in taking the job. What's the going rate for this sort of thing these days? Thanks,

  6. New RR actions

    @Dusty Stevens thread got me off topic, the primary extraction sucks on three R700s as does the bolt fit, but the fact is the action themselves have come lightyears from the last prefix. I think we need to thank @Dave L Kiff for kicking big green into the future. This was one I did today, right...

  8. Is my custom barrel a waste? Help

    So major quandary today. I tend to get wordy, so I’ll try to get to my point. I know I’m gonna be asked, so I’ll say this right off the bat. It’s a 6.5cm, 1/8 twist, 26” custom as barrel. Roughly 6-700 round count I normally shoot Berger 140 hybrids. If I touch (not jam) the lands, my...

  9. How to polish a bolt?

    Hi all, Was wondering how to polish my bolt and shroud, as close to a mirror like finish as possible so it moves a little more smooth in the action? The bolt is hardened steel I am assuming and the shroud is titanium.

    Convert extract only action to ejector action

    I have 1,000 yard bench gun set up on a Kelbly Panda action in a right bolt, left port, non-eject configuration. It has a magnum bolt-face(300 WSM) so it is not coned. I would like to have it converted to a right bolt, left load, right eject without having to buy a new bolt if that is...
