Now that we've got that all worked out, pictures! Here's a before and after of mine. Let's see some more awesome rifles.

it's all good friend, do what works for you! as previously noted, to each his own. I listed the objective benefits, but if you subjectively hate it, you just can't do it! Got a lot of things on my list just like that.

haha, I actually used to think the same thing about the big bolt knobs jim! Kept an open mind and tried one once, and holy cow was it easier to use. simply just easier to grab (especially with some gloves on) and the extra leverage really smoothes out the action. then they started to look a lot...

Hi Rollis R. Karvellis, I totally didn't think to post specs, I'll do that so anyone that wants to build something similar can look into it. -HS Precision PST025 Olive with black web. HS has it on their site for $659, think I got it for less, but that was years ago. Even had it in stock, so...

Thanks CDJ! It's come a long ways from the beginning and its been a lot of fun. It also fills the role of my (very heavy) hunting rifle. Shameless plug: the Bushnell 6500 on it pictured earlier is now for sale if anyone is looking! Man, there are some great looking rifles in this thread!

This rifle is already in the thread, but I figure it's different enough now I can post it again :rolleyes: Super nice rifles guys

Boom...Swing...Ting! Love it, nice work

hey all, just to put some closure on this, my second attempt went much better. metal was still sitting at the correct height in the stock, first inch of barrel now has support, the recoil lug got bedded right and the action has a much better fit. very tight taking it in and out of the stock...

moving the decimal place is genius sir, thank you very much

yep, got that, just making sure that's what you were doing. putting the 10mph makes sense, half for 5, double for 20, add the 5 number to ten for 15. slick enough. like I said, I think my current card just has too much info on it. apart from drop, I have spin drift (which all the way out at...

Excellent thanks! Think I'll put some of the common things I might range above the inches. like "elk" above the 30" mark. Totally valid point about taking the best guess at the weather. My final question on your technique would be about the holdovers. I just see the one column, are you doing...

Taliv, great information, thank you for the reply. I am low technology at this point, so no apps for me. I do have a suunto that gives me DA and a cheap windometer (desperately wanting a nicer kestrel, but no funds right now). I'm able to do the work myself, but if you are willing to share...

Hi folks, For those of you shooting some of the long range practical matches, how are you managing your data? What I mean to ask is, are you carrying more than one card of ballistic data? Do you strap it to your rifle or do you lay out a book when you get in position? Apart from...

Gents, Including today, I've shot twice since November. I am very rusty. Nonetheless, my groups today (in order of appearance) were a .8, .5 and .5, with zero brass issues. Thanks to all who helped, I think we've got success.

was hoping someone would say so mountainbear, thanks. I didn't take much off the aluminum block, but based off the wear marks I had lots of room in there anyway, and it is currently sitting at its same, pre-epoxy height in the stock. I think thats a win. I think part 2 is going better. little...
