Precision reloading is the best bet, I just have a couple of 1lbers sitting since I purchased a jug last week, and figured I would help since he only wants 100rds worth and is local.......

I have a 1lb or two I could sell ya. I am in Peoria.....

Glad that you landed some!

Sorry about that, I cleared my inbox........

i have buckets of these 130gn JLK. I would be willing to sell 500 or so if anyone is interested. I will sell em for .45 each.

My pm is not working either you can email me at my username (goatsie) @gmail.com

Yep

Sent you a PM

They are excellent trimmers I just swapped everything over to the WFT 2 from little crow gun works.

The last component of my rifle arrived yesterday....or the stamps for them did! The barrels will be threaded this week.

Check out Cameraland NY or give them a call.

Well maybe your order is there now then! I just keep pounding pavement and I always come up with something

2 min ago I grabbed 2lbs at Bruno's.....

i have decided to start digiscoping I would like to get either a zeiss diascope or swarovski ATX or Kowa....anyone have some buyers remorse and wanna sell?

Does the bolt need to be removed to load and fire?

They run $1600 with one boltface $400 for each additional

I went with MTR1 I think it is called

I was also going to add that there is a good amount of weight difference between the NXS and the March. The March with its huge magnification ratio still only weighs 24.7oz. The Nightforce on the other between 34 and 39oz depending on the model selected. This weight difference is not huge, but it is something to consider in scope selection.

The weight of the quick release on the PRS was my only reason to use the older model, I do not mine spending 20 seconds to screw in and off the bipod.

Looks good! I was set on a Mausingfield, I have talked quite a bit with Ted, the owner of ARC. The ONLY reason for not using that action was the cost to swap bolt heads. The Mausingfield does not use a similar floating bolt face so swapping Bolt faces runs $400 each. So using that action would have run me an extra $500 and that was just a little too steep when the bighorn will fit the bill fine.

Not as much as I wanted to spend

Step 5: Barrels and Calibers The HUGE benefit of having a rifle that is threaded for Savage pre-fits is that barrels are easy to come by and they are generally a fraction of the cost. The first barrel that I wanted was something to shoot varmints with and shoot at competitions. I also wanted to shoot something that was economical. The cheaper the brass, bullets, and less powder translates to me shooting more! Barrel #1: McGowen 7 twist .223 bull barrel This barrel is something that I have always wanted to mess with. This barrel was throated for the Berger 80gn bullets. An 80 gn Berger at 2850 fps in a .223 what more can you ask for?! I will also have this barrel threaded for suppressors which I should have stamps arriving for shortly! The rifle will wear the barrel the majority of the time. Barrel #2: Savage 6.5 Creedmoor 8 twist fluted light varmint I bought this barrel for a little over $100...it was just too cheap to pass up. It is a solid barrel and is light enough that I can use it as a beater barrel. It will be good to have available to shoot long range until my next barrel arrives Barrel #3: Rock Creek 6.5 SAUM This barrel is still in progress, I am still deciding on specs for it, I have the reamers I just need to make up my mind!

Step 4: The Accessories I wanted my accessories to remain lightweight yet give me function. I went with: Front Rail: Atlas BT17 Bipod: Atlas BT10 Scope Rings: Nightfoce Ultralight Anti-cant Device: Nightforce Bubble Level Magazines: Accuracy International in .223, .308, and WSM Many more to be added shortly......... Here is how the rig is looking right now. When I get a day off I will Cerakote it up! I am proud of her form for being 4 years old!

Step 3: The Scope I have shot everything from Simmons to Schmidt and Bender. I could give my preferences on scopes, the quality of glass, and the features that I like, but I will save some time and instead present my scope choice and my justification for the selection. I went with a March 5-32x52. I have become a huge March scope fan-boy. They have some of the best glass and the highest magnification ratio. I really like Nightforce, the NXS 8-32 is such an awesome long range scope, but having the lowest magnification of 8X made close shots on critters difficult. The marches lowest magnification is 5X, while 3X magnification may not seem like much it has made an enormous difference for me. The top magnification is still 32x which is more than enough for......anything!

Step 3: The Trigger Lately, I have really began to appreciate the trigger and the way that it affects my accuracy. Others may be able to get away with shooting a stock trigger and getting superb accuracy, but I am not one of those people. I have also become fond of the two stage triggers. I like these triggers for competition shooting as well as hunting. I have used Huber, Geissele, and the CG Jackson from Xtreme, of these triggers I like the Xtreme two stage trigger the best. The Xtreme trigger has so many adjustments that it can accommodate most shooters preferences. I prefer the first stage of my pull to be provide a medium length of mild resistance. I like to get on a target, pull the first stage back and have enough and just sit on that until I get a shot, the second stage is only ounces away but the stages are clearly separate......if that make sense. Just as I was setting up this build David Tubb came out with a new trigger, I have always found his products to be of the highest quality, so I took a chance and purchased his trigger. While the CG Xtreme trigger is almost enclosed in a housing, the Tubb trigger is open. I can see this being of benefit in that I will be able to visualize the adjustments I make. The openness may expose it more, but I will also be able to clean it easier, but time will tell and there will be reviews of this trigger to follow.
