Accurate guns are fun Fun guns are accurate

Ouch!

Not yet it's not...

I got word from Rock Creek that my barrel is ready to ship. To say that I'm thrilled would be an understatement of epic proportions. Up on deck: Remington 700 receiver I will true the receiver/bolt the best I know how Glue in single shot follower PT&G bolt handle Rock Creek barrel .223 1:7 M24 coutour that if I don't screw it up will end up at 28" 223 Match reamer and target crown I want to continue to run the 80gn Sierra Match Kings and possibly bump up into the 90gn Sierra's if I can find some to test The plan is this: I'm currently shooting FT/R with the bolt gun that my buddy built and I watched and learned about building bolt guns on. Since my medium length plan is to get my FFL and build rifles, AND I want to compete into the foreseeable future, I want to compete on a rifle that I built. Not that I watched get built. So, I'm going to build this rifle and take the parts off my current rifle to shoot in next season's matches. That includes the stock and such, at least for now. If I can find the right stock, I will sell what I have and replace my current stock. I want something that does not have a butt hook, but I digress. Essentially I'm going to build my competition rifle. From scratch. All on me. So, wish me luck. I still need to build a new fixture to take the place of the one I crashed a month or so ago. My buddy is kind enough to allow me to use his mill, so that helps. Once that happens, I'll be all in. If anyone is in the market for a fully adjustable McMillan A3/5 with a custom Krylon paint job, drop me a line. Or, if you know anyone in the market for a barreled action...

Nice rig. If I was to rifle hunt, I'd use something like this.

He diagnosed and fixed this issue already. Great advice on the post @GRIZ. Especially the part about not trying to see where one hits. Concentrate on maintaining a consistent sight picture for every shot.

Let me know when you buy that CZ

Significantly better shooting. You need to get used to the rifle and not be afraid of it. Take a look at these: I don't know what trigger you have but if it's heavy, that won't help.

@124gr9mm I shot you a PM. I'm heading to CR tomorrow morning most likely. Let me know if you'd like to meet up.

I know. That's why I mentioned the CZ... BTW, I meant the P-01. I always get those confused.

CZ SP-01

Better ammo will net you better groups. If it’s a 10 twist, the 168 and 175 will work well. Learn to handload and really make that puppy shoot.

Very very nice! I hope it hammers. It should. As for the bolt, custom in any flavor always presents a challenge. Good on you for getting it done.

That’s awesome. I cannot wait to see this together. I’m stoked for you. If the minis were on sale for that price I would have to buy one. Thankfully they are not. I have a new barrel on the way so my $$$ is tied up anyway. Good luck and be sure to post pics. I will be checking in from my vacay hideaway.

Very nice.

Thank you.

Some sanctioned competitions/matches require that the rifle have no muzzle device so as to reduce discomfort to fellow shooters. I can tell you that if the guys next to me on the line with their F-Open 284 Shehane had a brake that I wouldn’t be able to shoot as they’re annoyingly loud un-braked.

Thank you. I'll take that under consideration. I was (and still am) pretty pissed and quite wary.

I would add just a touch of blue locktite to the screws, at recommended torque. Once you're on final assembly. Assemble/shoot/re-assemble/locktite I've had that stock for a Remington. It's one of the most comfortable and versatile stocks out there. Nice choice. The Bravo is one I want as well. Just need to sell a few things first. My offer to shoot stands. As does my offer to help. I don't know much but I'm always down to figure shit out.

I'm interested... I kinda love the Howa's. They seem like a great action with not a lot of aftermarket but still great actions. I'm very tempted to buy one simply to re-barrel/barrel it. Mostly I like the mini actions. Just so cool to have an appropriately sized action for the caliber. The build sounds great. Which B&C stock is it exactly? The M40 style or the A5 style? Post pics as soon as you can. If you need anything that I can help with don't hesitate to reach out. I have a Borka torque wrench set-up if you want to torque bolts.

Thanks Bubba!! Glad to see you back on again. Work's done for the summer... good for you.

Mazel!!!

But did you teach her everything YOU know? From what I see, most likely you did, and she's still kicking your arse on the range.

no.

Didn't these guys promise "us" that the first time one of them went thru the process that it would benefit "all of us" and it didin't? Not trying to be a nay-sayer but if I remember correctly the solicited donations the last time as well and the only one to benefit was the gent that got his CC. What's different this time?
