Best place to purchase Proof Barrel
brownells has some, look for one of their 10%off or $off codes and the pricing is pretty good. but yeah if you want to special order, guessing they're not the place. i have one on order and no other experience with their barrels, but you can order from carbon six in whatever length you want. -
Ultralight hunting rifle
i seem to be in the minority, but not a fan of suppressors. i have a tbac7 on my 6.5 creed and have used it on 6.5 prc. i'd def still want to wear ear protection though admittedly it's quieter than a bare barrel or a brake. the other thing, at least for me, is a brake is way better at taming... -

Shipping ammo, any recent experiences?
i'm always getting stuff via ups at home; just hand it to the driver when he's dropping something off. also, just put in the outgoing bin at work if you have that. also the local mail-it stores don't seem to care, just drop it off. -
Elk recipes?

Why pay for a "custom" action?
the tikka i weighed, and incl trigger, bottom metal etc. the others are from the mfgr's sites and presumably include the action only - no trigger, bottom metal etc. -
Why pay for a "custom" action?
JAoutdoors sells the Tikka actions. $100 or so less than buying the whole rifle and you don't have to bang off the barrel. Tikka is a pretty compelling option for any sort of build. They have tight enough specs to use shouldered prefit barrels. A number of companies make drop-in stocks with... -

Carbon Six Barrel with Mesa Precision stock

7mm PRC Sendero or Sendero lite?
you guys talking carbon six i assume, as proof just has the sendero option? so the lite is just going to be a little thinner, so less weight but a little quicker to heat up, is that right? -
Area 419 Hellfire
where is this thing advertised as being quiet??? it is SUPER loud. but it does an AWESOME job at reducing recoil and muzzle rise. do like i do and wear electronic muffs in the field (i use pro ears 300). -

Gun safe drilling for rod
yeah see if your safe has a recommended spot for drilling. remember you only need a hole big enough to get your wire through if you get a plug that can be detached/attached. drill it at least higher than the bottom of the door so that it isn't the low point for flooding water. and if you want... -
Why Match/Target Bullets For Hunting
after browsing i'm skipping to the end here. so, other than more accurate and better BC and/or higher speed, is the actual performance (destroying vitals etc) of some match bullets better than hunting bullets? ie compare 143 eldx to 140 or 147 eldm. or 200g eldx vs 195g eldm. in other words... -

Left hand quality rifle
