Bumping this useful thread.
What is the best technique when it’s time to shoot? Pull both hearing aids out and use some type of ear pro, like foamies? 90% of the time I have enough time to use ear plugs before the shot. Just wondering if anyone has learned of better techniques with their...
Grafs has them in stock but will only sell you 2 boxes. I tried to go back and buy them again but their website won’t sell them to the same account again.
Soupcan, your action appears to be a TL Industries made to APR spec action.
APR did use Curtis, and recently have used a bunch or Defiance. I think it depended on when the riffles were built or what the customer asked for.
This is a very good deal on an APR
I agree. Both my 243s shoot the 95gr Federal Fusion orange box submoa. It’s cheap too. $20-24, and easy to find. I haven’t hand loaded for either of them after they shot the federal so well.
I wouldn’t do a B&C stock if you have other options for the action. I still own one, but it’s on a heavy varmint gun. There are some great options out there for backpacking rifles these days.
You mentioned backpacking. How light are you wanting to get? That could greatly affect your...
I use two different tripods depending on how far I need to pack in. A Slik cf634 is lighter, but less stable and is a couple inches short to stand and glass for a person over about 6’2”. if I’m staying maybe a mile from the truck, I use a manfroto 055 carbon fiber. Ball or pistol grip...
Holy crap. You think you had a baffle strike or was it just from pressure? Your load don’t sound too extreme to me. Sounds pretty typical. That shouldn’t happen and you’d think they would “rebuild” the can quickly and mail a hat and T-shirt for your trouble. That is beyond frustrating.
Sounds like you’d be fine with any of those rifles in 308. Buy what you want and order a new stock as your funds allow. Kind of like picking between Ford, Dodge, Chevy. Replace the ugly wheels and tires after you’ve worn the stock rubber down. After market triggers, stocks, etc are easier...
That’s crazy. Who doesn’t shoot handloads through a harvester or Omega? I’ve only called them once asking questions about Which 300 magnums through the Omega. They acted pretty care-free about it but did say 300wm. I’ve heard a couple stories from a local class3 dealer, that SiCo...
