    M70 RokStok

    It looks like 15 need to be sold prior to production starting?

    Custom rifle maker - recommendations wanted.

    Dont get an EH3. Had one, the grip sucks. Had rifles or at least barrels from 3 of the smiths listed by @JohnJohnson. Beanland is probably the one I'd be most likely to use again. Some smiths for full builds that seem appealing to me based perceived attention to detail are Piercision rifles...

    Lands evaluation

    It's extremely difficult for lots of 223 chambers to not show some kind of land in the freebore because the freebore diameter is the same or very close to groove dimension. 223 freebore is 0.224", i think wylde is 0.2242". Groove depth is typically spec'd at 0.224". which means any tiny bit of...

    6CM clickers

    Are we differentiating between clickers and just sticky bolt lift?

    6CM clickers

    Why would H4831 be any better? I wouldn't expect it to get any more velocity before hitting pressure than H4350 does. Most load data sources show it getting less velocity.

    Suppressor Timetables

    Assume that you applied as a trust rather than an individual? Individual ATF form 4 applicants are processing frequently in days or weeks. Trusts seem to still frequently take multiple months.

    One of the 10 new Colorado wolves is dead.

    paywall.

    One of the 10 new Colorado wolves is dead.

    This is the second time I've seen it called a MI wolf. Is there genetics tying it to MI? Because it's even more odd if it came from MI rather than the much closer portions of the great lakes range in WI or MN.

    Carbon Wrapped Barrel Pecking Order?

    But it's a chambered carbon barrel for less than the price of a premium steel blank! Bling bling.

    Are we being infiltrated (trolls)

    That's how I know you really are a nigerian prince. Authenticity.

    Carbon Wrapped Barrel Pecking Order?

    #1: I'm not a fan of fluting either so just dont do it and then it's not a cost. #2: Less than what? How light are you trying to go? There's a number of pictures floating around of sub 2.5# steel barrels with adequate threads/shoulder. The PBB hybrid is barely heavier than a factory tikka lite...

    Wolf trapped in CO East of I-25

    There are numerous examples of great lakes wolves travelling a long ass ways but all the ones i've seen generally stayed in established wolf range. Why the heck would would one walk all the way across the plains? Says caught in a foot hold trap, wonder why it ended up dead and what's going to...

    Winchester SXR2

    Are you saying they are available in the states or asking if people know if they will be? Unsure since you linked the Winchester EU site.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Bear is the first creature listed? Also, @Dbevans, did you shoot it in the face or is that just blood by the eye?

    Neck Tension

    A, B, D, and E.

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Because nobody chases the nth degree of velocity with bigger magnums or 308s or the "back to back world war champ!"..

    Best path forward

    You've said nothing about the rifle's current attributes. Is it sufficiently accurate? A brake is an easy and cheap'ish way to reduce recoil, if you want to be married to ear protection.

    Anyone Regret Building on a Medium Action?

    Tikka action (or whole used donor rifle) and a spare bolt is about the same price as an entire origin and a different bolt face and you dont need to buy a trigger for the tikka. The Tikka would transition better between true short action rounds and rounds optimized in medium actions though IMO...
