    260 rem or 260 AI or a 7mm-08?

    My recommendation would be a 7-08AI or 7SAW. I have a 6.5Creed, 260, regular 7-08, a 7-08AI and a 308. The 7-08AI gets more use than any of the others. 150-162 bullets in the 2750-2950 fps range are a breeze with it. I too, don’t get the fireforming comments. I fireformed 200 pieces of...

    25 Caliber Cartridge with cartridge head stamped brass?

    That is what I would do. Or, you could just get something that is readily available, such as a 6.5PRC and be done with it.

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    That tracks with my experience. I ordered a bare Tikka stock and it shipped within 5 days of the order. I ordered a painted Savage stock and it was right at 45 days from order to ship.

    Silencer Co Harvester with 300wm

    Probably just a bad weld then. I witnessed a Hybrid 46 come apart on a 33 Nosler last month. It was a standard barrel length (24"). Guy said it was the second time it has happened. The first time it split the tube, this time it just launched the guts about 125 yards.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    The Tikka Lite Hybrid contour would fit just fine.

    22 Hornet for Deer

    None, as most of that weight is carried in the guts, hams, back and hide. As for what bullet to use in the Hornet, I would say the 53 grain V-Max, 52 grain MatchKing, 50 grain Nosler BT, 53 grain Nosler Varmageddon, and the 45 grain Sierra Varminter would all do well. For the non-lead folks...

    AR and SBR Recommendations

    This is just my opinion, so take it for exactly what you paid for it, but there is no reason to pay that much for an AR. I mean, you can spend that much on a Daniel Defense or an LWRC but for the every-day shooter, you just won't see the value in the extra $1500 over a Ruger, S&W, Rock River...

    Silencer Co Harvester with 300wm

    Just to clarify, now that you have shown the picture, mine is one of the original Harvesters, not an EVO, which yours clearly is. I would agree that it was a defective weld, or a baffle strike. Was the part that was attached to your gun still on their tightly after the failure?

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    I don't have any pics of what it may look like on a Stocky's as I mounted them on other stocks. I can try to get a pic of the length of the forearm portion of my Stocky's VG Tikka stock.

    Silencer Co Harvester with 300wm

    I have over a 100 shots through one with my 21.5" barreled 300WM. No issues.

    Yes, it is.

    7 PRC on Tikka T3 vs T3X

    Buy it! When I was looking for a donor for my 338 Sherman Mega, I lucked into a T3 chambered in .270WSM. It is working just fine. The only "problem" for me is that nobody seems to want the .270WSM take off barrel, so it is still in my parts pile. :)

    Savage 111 build magazine question

    No the original mag will not work. The 7PRC cartridge is a lot fatter than a 270 Win, so it won't feed correctly. You will need to get a magazine that will feed that size cartridge. Most likely belted mag magazine as the mags for a 6.5PRC will be too short and a 300 PRC mag will be too long.

    The answer to your question is no.

    Direct thread suppressors and thread compounds

    I don't use anything on my threads and all but one of my suppressors are DT. The one that isn't is only swapped between two AR uppers. I also haven't had an issue with them coming loose since I started doing the following: Thread the suppressor onto the barrel until it just contacts the...

    10mm pistol hunting

    I have taken more than one whitetail with a S&W 1006 with basic open sights. Longest shot was 26 yards, but it kills with authority.

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    Just an FYI, the SRS Hunter rail is just a tad long for the Tikka VG stock. I ordered a couple of them a while back and I intended to put one on my 6.5CM that sits in one of the Stocky's stock. The pic portion of the rail extended past the end of the forearm.

    When is using a Prefit barrel the right option

    Here is my take on it. For a prefit barrel, I don't want a gunsmith. I want a machinist. A lot of the barrel guys are just that. I know a lot of gunsmiths that can do machine work, but are in no way, shape, or form, a machinist. Additionally, in most cases nowadays the barrel makers doing...

    Barrel Chop Screwed Up Accuracy

    You say "cut and threaded". What muzzle device (or suppressor) do you have on it that wasn't on it before? Have you shot it without that?
