That's for the info and input guys, I'm not so new to shooting precision weapons, but I am new to building one. So again thanks for the input, I just want to try to avoid spending unnecessary cash on things that are easily avoidable, try to learn for all of your mistakes I guess haha. We each...
Completely agree with ya, I will have all the details hashed out before I go forth with it.
That's too bad your old school, some of these 6.5s are ridiculous! There's a few with BCs in the high .6 range and stay supersonic for around 400 yards further than the 300WM. Barrel burners though
I'm thinking maybe 300 win mag or some 6.5, still not set on a specific caliber yet , need to do some more reading. End game is 1k+, I'm confident in my abilities to around 600, I can always learn more that's for sure. Just looking to step it up a notch. Certainly this is going to be a project...
I've got the action, gun was free. The way I see it if I just get it trued up and get everything else new, that saves me from buying a 1k$ action. And get around the same results...ish. apart from what needs to be put on the lathe I wanted to do it myself. That's the way my mind works but I've...
I was north west of Lansing, fowler. Right now I'm just south of Speedway looking for a place. I was an avionics guy on 58s, the Kiowa warrior. Mostly fixed guns and replaced radios though.
Didn't run into to many navy guys, land locked most the time.
Thanks for the info, I didn't specify that I was looking for a semi local guy first, instead of sending it off right away. That is the fall back plan, I've read a lot about little small town guys that run a shop out of their garage that do beautiful work around the country. Optimistically...
I did see that it was old, but I had appleseed on my mind and searched for a thread about it. Apologies, and I will look up the Revere's Riders thanks!
I have 30-06 that I'm looking to turn into a custom gun. I've been on Google looking for some place that can blue print my action with no luck. So does anyone have a guy that is competent in this area of gunsmithing? I'm gonna change the caliber as well if that helps, so I won't need any bolt...
I did an appleseed shoot about 2 years ago, I thought it was gonna be a pretty remedial course. Actually it turns out they have some very good instructions, and I learned a lot about natural point of aim, and cheek weld. I highly recommend attending one. Ended up being the first marksman of the day!
Just moved down here last week, picked up a pretty decent job (I think). Still waiting to get on my feet down here, and in the meantime I'm looking for where the shooters hang out. I've got 6 years active duty aviation under my belt, try to shoot pistol but stick mostly to long guns, member of...
