Someone on this forum had a prefit chambered for their X-Bolt, possibly with a McGowen barrel, so that leads me to believe the actions are very consistent. I honestly don't know why you would spend any money truing a factory action, once you go down that route, you are money ahead to go full...

Rebarrel the Browning, but I am a Browning nerd. The aftermarket stock options are picking up, Stocky's is close to a release date on an X-Bolt carbon stock, AG has expressed interest and McMillan is expanding their inlet offerings. There are companies that produce AICS bottom metal for the...

Another 24hr Primary Arms deal, sadly I can't use them because of astigmatism Troy Folding Battle Site Set $110

Something good has come from it, it's made some people rethink their abilities. I know that I couldn't do it even in my prime. My previous statement on this

I was just thinking about something, I was raised to hunt by my grandfather and my Uncle Jim. Grandfather used a 1917 Parker SxS with 34" barrels choked extra full/extra full and Uncle Jim had 2 rifles that I knew about, both Weatherby Mark Vs in 240 Weatherby and 257 Weatherby and he always...

I bought this rifle on another forum, no issue with my choice, except for the fact that I know that I will continue to want the 18" Browning X-Bolt SPR version, same twist except for it comes threaded 5/8-24. I know that the aftermarket is even smaller, actually non-existent for the Super Short...

Carbon 🤩

Thank you for this

Someone posted a thread where they built a 8 twist 223 using a Howa Mini barreled action and Stocky's VGM carbon fiber stock and it came in at sub 6lbs and about $750ish, 20" threaded heavy sporter barrel would make a nice compact suppressor ready rifle.

Well, according to the internet, you can kill anything visible with the 223. I shot out more than one 22-250 barrel even with the slow twist barrels of yore. The 22 Creedmoor interests me, but I don't know if it's even available as a factory offering. I just bought a Tikka T3 Superlite 223...

The Johnny Paycheck song "Drinking and Driving" came out in 1973, so $5 worth of Regular and $3 worth wine won't get you to the state line today 🤣
