    Budget rifle with best stock?

    The Tikka stocks are actually pretty good. They’re surprisingly stiff and weigh about the same as a McMillan Edge.

    Scope bases - epoxy

    It works fine, i do it frequently and it’s far from permanent. Put a little heat on it and everything pops loose. An iron will free a whole action on a glue-in. Someone can do the math, but whats .001” movement of one base with 4” separation at 100yds, almost 1”? Light, heavy recoiling guns with...

    Horizontal Stringing?? Baffling

    Likely bedding, barrel slapping stock. Something is moving to cause excessive horizontal stringing.

    Tikka bolt face opened for 6.5 PRC

    No mods to the extractor. Thought it might need a tiny tig pad on the bottom, but worked perfectly without.

    Help with Muzzle Brake

    I like to use the Micro Bastard in that application. 9/16-32. Let me know if you need someone to do it.

    Already owned Tikka T3 .270 or Christensen Arms 6.5 PRC

    I’d go 284 180elds on the Tikka. The CA would be a downgrade in many ways.

    Custom 3006?

    I like the 30-06, have built quite a few with Salazar’s reamer. Recoil shouldn’t be a concern in that weight class. There’s a pic of one on my website in a white Sako varmint wearing a Bart #3 at 22” if I remember. About 9lbs.

    How to deal with Cold Barrel zero???

    Sounds mechanical, which includes the shooter, bench setup etc. It’s almost never load related. Try a 10+ shot group, one shot at a time and see if it actually fills in around the first shot.

    What’s your favorite trigger?

    I’ve installed a bunch of the above mentioned triggers. I’ve had two Bix triggers brought back in due to not resetting or discharging on their own. Both had been maintained with a squirt of lighter fluid. When I took them apart I found the internals squeaky clean, too clean, and the parts/balls...

    Problem sighting in rifle

    Definitely mechanical, not temp of barrel or seating depth, and if you can shoot probably not you either. Check screws not bottoming out on mounts, action screws tight, don’t be afraid to blame the scope.

    GW Clymr or AP Carbon Hunter

    I’ll weigh in on the Clymr. It weighs about the same as a fiberglass McMillan, 33oz on my scale. The carbon look is an appliqué on the inside of the mold, then they sponge paint the outside. Not saying it’s not carbon, it is, but what you see isn’t the structural cloth as found on a Manners or...

    Anyone have a Vudoo 22lr?

    They are sweet. I recently finished building one for a customer on a Masterclass prone stock. It got chopped up a bit to fit the DBM but the thing shoots. I have an Annie 54 but wouldn’t think twice about swapping.

    Tripod for Rifle

    I installed a seekins rail on a Ridgeline, then milled pic slots in an Outdoorsmans adapter that attaches through the front screw. Pretty solid. The rail got a radius milled on the bottom to match the stock.

    Help me out with this ammo/accuracy issue.

    I look at mechanical stuff and technique before ammo. If you were reloading you might be tempted to blame the load, when it’s actually the barrel hitting the stock or bad bedding. I only say that because I just bedded a Ridgeline.. Or parallax error.......
