What lower handgaurd is that?

Where did you get your RAS47?

Let it soak in AeroKroil (that stuff is the BEST) or some other good penetrating fluid until you get a rod. Good luck finding anything at Home Depot or Lowes. I ended up having to order one from an online metal place, it was Rebel Metals on eBay. Ended up getting a couple rods in different sizes for my rifles. Make sure you get get something that is a little smaller than your bore size, not the actual caliber size...i.e. .308 bore is usually .300/.299, .243 bore is .237/.236 etc...But definitely let it soak first, it'll make life easier and pound from the breech end first. Muzzle end is a last resort.

Absolute best value for the money is a Bushnell DMR 3.5-21x50mm. The G2 reticle is awesome but if you really want to save money just pick up a Mil-Dot version on the secondary market. On the Hide there's vendor selling them at half of the retail price.

Yuck...I wouldn't have even touched it. If you have to have a budget rifle in .308 get the Savage Hog Hunter, they can be had for $450 and there's plenty of aftermarket stocks and other toys. Plus you can spin the barrel off yourself when you shoot it out or outgrow it and screw on an off the shelf precision barrel from Shilen or some other reputable barrel makers. I remember seeing one at Miller's in Chichester, PA not to long ago. Otherwise save your pennies for a proven platform, i.e. Rem 700. http://www.millersgunshop.com/ PS.

There's no way a powder manufacturer will ever state in writing that it's ok to mix them and I'm guessing that may be purely based on a legal stand point to protect themselves. I remember reading about it on another forum in a reloading section and I specificly remember that the main question was what large container could be used to store the new mixture. I'm pretty sure an empty 1gal bleach container was used in the end due to it being non-transparent and a certain HDPE number classification. I've Googled it a couple different ways and besides the recall factor I have yet to find a logical reason not to do it. And this is of course being done with "new", off the shelf powder. I wouldn't do it with a new bottle and an old bottle of granddads powder.

I remember reading somewhere that it's ok to mix different lots of the same powder in order to get greater consistency between your loads. Being that it's hard to find 8lbs jugs Varget I feel that this would be conducive to my needs right now. I'd hate to have to keep reevaluating my load formulas every time I burn through a 1lbs bottle, and it would save me a great deal of space with all of these 1lbs bottles I've been hoarding.......and does anyone have spare empty 8lbs jugs laying around?

Just a heads up...http://www.oaklandta...lets_c_170.html

+1 for Lunker (again) and a huge +100 for GregV for being alive with a sence of humor

Well the first Tavor has finally hit Gunbroker....MSRP is $2k but you can buy now for the low low price of $4k lol listing can be found HERE

Not sure on the drops yet. I just zeroed it on Sunday and that was my best group at 100yds with factory Hornady 178gr BTHP Superformance Match ammo. Once I get some hand loads worked up and chronographed I'll have better info. I'm pretty much going in blind because no one else shoots shorties with me lol. But as long as your scope base and scope can compensate for the drop there's no reason why you can't go out to 1000yrds with a short barreled rifle. I set this rifle up at a medium range "Pig Rig" to blast wild pigs on my buddies farm in Georgia. The brake is a JEC radial baffle brake. I was on an internet adventure one night and ended up at TacticalMatches.com. Everyone said the JEC brake was good so I bought it lol and it really is amazing. Same with the stock. There's a guy in Texas with a CNC machine in his garage and he makes them. They run $750 and you have to call him to order one because he doesn't have a website and runs an HVAC business during the day lol.

You're right 20" is way to big. Just get a 16.5" Rem 700 AAC-SD and call it a day. And let me state this for the record...barrel length does not effect accuracy! Grouping was 5 rounds at 100 yards

Found a gun shop in my travels, it's called Miller's Sporting Goods in Linwood PA (Marcus Hook). They had a decent selection of bullets in almost every caliber (no .224). A lot of Sierra and Hornady stuff and everything is priced ok, no great deals but it is what it is. I was mostly looking for .308 rifle components but I did notice a lot of 6mm, 6.5mm, 9mm, and stuff you wouldn't think you'd see on the shelf. Only 3 bags of brass...2 .38 special and 1 .40, both were Winchester. They also had small and large rifle primers, I couldn't see any pistol primers because everything is behind the counter. And they also had some powders...I only remember H335 and H322. Hope this helps!! www.millersgunshop.com

Take a trip up to King Shooters Supply in King of Prussia. They have a Rem 700 5r .308 24" barrel 1-10 (or 11.25, I can't remember) twist. Cycle the action and I garuntee you won't leave without it. With the faster twist rate you can play with the heavier 175 SMK rounds and push the longer/lighter 155 Lapua Scenars out to 1000+ yards.

Sounds like the biggest problem here is that you haven't installed a Timney 510 yet!! Absolute best trigger for your money.

Heads up....Natchez Shooter Supplies has a good bit of Sierra projectiles in stock. www.natchezss.com

Showed up on time with cash. Met me locally as requested and had great communication throughout the transaction.

Nice guy, showed up on time with cash.

Showed up on time with cash. Very easy exchange.

Lol desperate times call for desperate measures

Call King Shooter Supply...I just left with some Reloader 15 and Hodgdon H322. They have small rifle primers and bags of 60gr A-max .223 but they're limiting 1 per customer.

Winchester and CCI

I usually check out gun shops whenever I drive by them while I'm "working" so don't tell my boss lol Delco didn't have a huge selection so I wouldn't make the trip if you're to far but it's worth checking out If you're close. I'm headed to King of Prussia for a service call now so I'm gonna drive by King Shooters Supply lol

Delco Shooting Supply in Prospect Park, PA has large rifle primers, small pistol primers, large pistol primers, small and large magnum pistol primers, a couple bags of various pistol caliber brass and boxes of various cast projectiles. No panic prices either.And if your desperate they also have a Ruger 10/22 Takedown on the wall but it's $430 I think and a Windam AR for $1200.

hmmm.....wrap a towel around it and crank on it with a pipe wrench.
