Are there any plans for to make an x bolt mold for the rokstock? The aftermarket availability is the only thing keeping me away from an xbolt. That and the fact they aren't even making the x2 in a left hand model...
My only complaint is that the scope is pretty heavy. And with the digital zoom on your digiscope setup im not entirely sure i need 60x on the spotter. But the cronus is a solid scope.

I don't think it's fair to compare rifles and shotguns in that manner. A 338 vs 223 are firing different bullets different pressure. Where shotguns are firing the same projectiles at the same velocity. True a factory 12 is like 60fps faster than a factory 410. Off a reloading bench it's the...
Yes the method of killing is the same as big game. Put 1 pellet in the chest of a pheasant and it will fold up. Having enough mass and pellet construction help. But at the end of the day if you can put half a dozen pellets into a bird it will fall. This is why patterning a shotgun and practicing...
Longer barrels are only for balance. It creates a smooth swing on crossing birds. Otherwise all powder is burnt in the first 12 inches of the barrel. Also a standard 12 gauge load is 1 ounce. A heavy 20 gauge load is 1 ounce. There's really no reason to carry a 12. I've shot everything and then...
Because I've ripped a couple pairs just rubbing up against cable tray or a strut rack. I wouldn't trust them if I had to wear them for multiple days. But damn they fit like they were tailored specifically for me lol
There's a guy in Pennsylvania that does a killer trigger job on the BLR. MPI will make custom fiberglass stocks. I got backfire to make their recoil pad for the BLR. You can really dial them in if you try. I just shot out the barrel on my 300wsm and am trying to turn it into a 25 western. But...
I believe that all of them are threaded, however some of them use an extention that is press fitted. And with the loktite used if the bolt isn't closed to support the receiver from the inside, and heat isn't used you will twist that press fitting right out.
Good thing mine doesn't have that...
Have you thrown any ideas around about using the sig fury hybrid cases? I've found some online and from what I've been reading it will push a 6.5cm faster than a 6.5 prc. Haven't found anybody using it on the 22 yet. But I think I'm going to try 25 with it.
I recently picked up a pair of Tikka m65 actions. But I can't seem to find any information surrounding them or their compatibility with aftermarket components. One is a left hand bolt right hand eject with a super heavy 308 barrel. The other being a left bolt, left eject in 300 win.

I don't want to hijack this thread but I recently found somebody willing to rebarrel my 300wsm BLR. What would you recommend for a barrel contour? I want to go heavier than the standard sporter without making the gun too unwieldy. Planning for a 20 inch with suppressor. And possibly chambering...
I have been pretty happy with my athlon cronus g2. Picked it from cameraland for around 800.

Super happy to have just found this thread, I've been thinking about a 25 western for a while now and I just shot out my 300wsm barrel. However I've never made a wildcat and have very little experience reloading. Any and all tips tricks and help would be appreciated.
