I went with the Edge because I could use a standard Savage long action receiver and magnum boltface (the Edge is just a necked up 300 Rem Ultra Mag). The Lapua would have required me to open up the boltface and it is questionable if the Savage receiver would have handled the size of the Lapua...
Sure is look at midway and Sharp Shooter Supply look at their Varmint/Tactical stock or you could get a McMillan A5 if you want to spend some serious money.
You can either get just a bolt head bout $20 and swap over the extractor and ejector or about $50 for a complete bolt head. Then you...
You should also be able to get into a Marlin XS7, or Stevens model 200 in 308, 7mm-08, or 270 (might find it in 30-06 but they are harder to find) for about 250 plus scope or probably about 325 with scope, and any of those should be capable of taking anything you'll find around here. Both are...
Well it is a .338 Edge not a .338 Lapua. It is based off of the Remington Ultra Mag. All you really HAVE TO do is a barrel swap and possibly a different bolt head (about 400-500 total from sharp shooter supply). In all reality by the time you spend money on barrel, scope, trigger, stock, etc...
Well if you are going to add everything start with a (Savage) Stevens model 200 regularly found at academy for 220-250 or try and find something used. If you are trying to take your time and build and shoot over time then a Savage with whatever features you can afford or don't want to change. I...
Well I found out just how long it takes... I've got three new toys here with me today.... I know pics or it didn't happen, maybe tomorrow after they get a few rounds through them. To damn tired tonight.
You might really want to look at a progressive press then. While more expensive to start if your only loading pistol calibers and in those quantities single stage or turret is not going to be fun. I know I wouldn't do it I would just give up and buy ammo. But if you are willing to go to a...
Lee makes a decent product especially for the price. I would recommend spending just a little more and going to a Lee Classic Turret press though. It is so much better than having to swap dies between presses and it gives you the option to use the auto index feature. Now there are much better...
I have a fairly decent variety of 22 already some CB shorts, super coibri, SSS, sub sonic, standard velocity, mini mags, and velocitor and 3 different hosts so my Aviator is going to get a work out for sure. really looking forward to the Osprey though might even see if Bryon has an extra 5.56...
It's not.... Most people go with 308 win because it is a short action rather than the long action of a 30-06. You'll hear that a long action will flex more I don't know if there is any truth to that but it also means a shorter bolt throw on a 308. With handloads the 30-06 can be loaded with more...
Ok while I have no direct experience with them I have been reading about them in another forum I frequent and there there has been nothing but good reviews there one guy is running one full auto even. Apparently they are not made of the same material that the cav arms ones were/are but something...
WooooHOOOOOO just called and it was approved today I just might get to do some shooting over the long weekend. I now am going to be obsessively checking to make sure my phone is working waiting on a call from bryon that the paperwork arrived.
I have a Shooting Chrony Beta Master, electronics sit on the table and it has more features than I need every time I use it I am scared to death I am going to shoot it, but it hasn't happened.... yet. I like it nice and compact easy to use the basic features don't know about the advanced ones...
I have one (MTM/Caseguard) it was better than dealing with a beam (speed) for me but I don't trust it I figure it is probably within about 0.5 gr. I can put a load on it give it time to stabilize then just blow in the general direction and let is stabilize again and it will have a different...
Well I am starting to get anxious that my forms may have gotten lost somewhere or something.
My timeline matched up exactly with adluginb's (bryon sent both in) but mine is still pending.
1. NFA Item: SWR Spectre .22 caliber
