  • If you dont mind send a picture of your induction annealer. Friend wants to build one, need fresh ideas.

    Heres mine

    Hello! I noticed you recently posted pics of several savage rifles where you were showing off your DIY paint jobs. It looks like most of those rifles had fluted bolt sleeves. Can you share where you purchased those or who did the fluting? Thank you for your time!

    Several came from a guy who used to machine them. After having issues with that guy I picked some up from PTG. Gun Shack and others off a service too I think to flute your bolt.

    Thank you! I appreciate the info. Have a great day!
    Hey bud, I noticed your elk antler engraving. Looks like on a barrel. Bad *** and who did that for you. We are having rifles build and the smith can do engraving etc. not sure about the antler style.

    It's my design and I did the work. It's a decal I apply and then blast the polished barrel. Remove the decal and the pattern shows up. I also use the decal for cerakoting. Same gig, install, paint, remove. The base color is what is seen as the design.

    Brent, How much to ship to Hayden ID? Also, does PayPal work for you? In regards to the XLR 4.0
    Thanks.
    Brent - i had used mrp-2 and either 123 or 139 scenar. both hunting and competition. in my 6.5-284s. no more mrp 2. i went to mrp. several years ago i picked up 400 -130 grain norma. I had not tried them until a year ago or so, awesome. they were i think 2.5-3" flatter at 500 . than the other ones. geat groups too.
    I'm working with a custom 6.5PRC with a 23.5" Proof barrel. So far it has been very difficult to establish an accuracy load for, generally shooting about moa. I've got some Berger 135 Classic Hunter bullets and noticed that you're getting 3,100 ft/sec with 135s. Would you be interested in sharing your load info?

    I'm running 57.8 rl26 at 3095. I've run 58 but 57.8 seems a little better overall. This is adg brass and 22" proof.
