    Texas Brigade Armory rifles?

    Found this maker on the net and am interested in either the M40a3 or the M24 model. Are these rifles as good as they claim, 1/4" at 100yds with factory ammo? Any input is wanted, can't find anything through google. Mr Pillow

    243, 270, 30-06, 7mm

    Ruger's are usually very well priced, as are Weatherby Vanguards.

    243, 270, 30-06, 7mm

    He should be able to handle the .243 and .270, possibly the .30-06 assuming he is taught good shooting posture. Remember, butt plate + collar bone = painful weekend.

    I'm going down to take a look around tomorrow, should be a good turnout. Congrats on the new rifle.

    Hmmmm. Speaking of the .204, do you think it has any validity as a target round out to 500yds or so? I'm not competing on any level, all my shooting is purely for the enjoyment. I already have one .204, but I sure could go for one as accurate as the Cooper.

    Cartridge Decision Help

    I'd rather not put out for a new barrel every year, maybe every two years, but not every year. I would say I only shoot about 1000-1500 rounds a year, never more then 2000. What other calibers should I look at? I'd like to keep recoil low if possible.

    Our local store has one in .300WIN for I believe $899, I know its less than $950 but not quite sure. After reading this thread, I started looking at a Cooper M22 Varminter in 6.5-.284 Would this be a good choice? It's a bit more expensive than I would have liked, but the 1/2" gurantee...

    Cartridge Decision Help

    No one seems to realize that none of the caliber you're suggesting are available in the rifle I want. No, I'm not. Now if you can direct me to a rifle available in those chamberings, at the same cost, with equal or better performance, I could give it some thought. The Sendero does...

    Cartridge Decision Help

    The .264(6.5mm) has a very expansive selection as well, and it's what I'm leaning towards at the moment. Unless someone can give solid edvidence one of the other rounds would suit me better, I don't think I'll change my mind.

    Cartridge Decision Help

    I've been looking into a new long range higher caliber rifle, and can't decide on what caliber to get. Bullet selection is a plus, as are all reloading components as all rounds will be handloads. The rifle I've been looking at is the Remington 700 Sendero SFII, in calibers .264Win, 7mm Rem...

    Improving accuracy of sporter type rifles?

    I'll start with the trigger, hopefully get that replaced sometime next week. If that doesn't help, I'll look into other issues. Rifle is a .204 Ruger, 1-12" twist, using Berger 40grn/Sierra 39grn bullets. Should be stablizing fine.

    Improving accuracy of sporter type rifles?

    I am handloading with accuracy in mind, and it hasn't seemed to help much. It's produced some smaller groups, but most hover a little over 1". I'll look into bedding the action and floating the barrel. The rifle is a Ruger M77 MkII, and I dont believe the trigger is adjustable. Currently...

    Improving accuracy of sporter type rifles?

    Aside from rebarreling, new stocks, accurizing and all the fancy things that I can't afford, does anyone have any tips on how to improve the accuracy of sporter rifles? I read that a new trigger and glass bedding could help to greatly improve the accuracy, does this hold any truth? Or do...

    Berger .257 115grn VLDs in .25-06

    I tried some different bullets I had laying around and loaded Sierra 100grn SPBTs for this weekend at the range. Going to order some 100grn HPBTs, as well as some Berger 87grn FB bullets. For the moment the .25 is taking a back seat, my Garand arrived today and it's just too fun to put down ^.^

    Berger .257 115grn VLDs in .25-06

    I'm mainly shooting at 100-200 yards, 100 at the bench.

    Berger .257 115grn VLDs in .25-06

    Alright, I will order the 22* chamferer tonight. I've also decided to invest in a good seating die, and a good case trimmer/neck turner. Without spending alot(over $200), is there anything else I can do to help make my loads all the more accurate? Perhaps culling all bullets/cases by weight, and...

    Berger .257 115grn VLDs in .25-06

    I've been recently working up handloads for my old Model 70 sporter in .25-06, and came across the Berger match bullets. Looking for optimum accuracy from my rifle, I saw them as the best option in the .257" class. Highest BC, etc. etc. The first time I loaded them, I tried two depths...

    Ruger M77 MkII needs rebuilding

    I've been putting it off for some time, but I now desperately need to replace some things on my Ruger M77 MkII(standard) .204r platform. After about 40 rds through it, it can consistently print 3/4-1/2" groups all day long. But only after 40 rds can it do so. The barrel is so ridiculously...
