Isn't that the truth. A human voice on the phone, returning phone calls . Honest work for a fair wage. All seem to be going away these days.

Roger that. There is a reason so many Hi-power shooter and military gunsmiths that support the teams use Kreiger barrels. They have been...

I like cut rifle barrels now, Brux and Krieger. Having said that, I have shot out 10x the number of button rifle barrels that shot...

Barrel can be set back, but it will require a lathe. I have used virgin brass before when there was not a headspace gauge to be found...

I always thought the 300 WSM is about as close as we can get to the old "300 Super". I like the round alot, but only regret the Mod 700...
