Just.... smdh.

I'd take that accuracy at that speed any day of the week. Good shooting.

Remington, Sako, and Tikka for me. Weatherby and Ruger were honorable mentions

I pushed, he didn't budge. I decided it wasn't worth my time.

The same could be said for a lot of cartridges. Why use a 25-06 if you can just light load a 257 wby? Why use a 270 winchester if you can just ligthload a 270 wby? Why use a 30-06 if you can just lightload a 300 win mag? It goes on. The main advantage to a Weatherby rifle in 338-06 is the use of...

My plan is a 20" bolt action with a nice maple stock. It'll still take large rifle primers because of the lower case capacity and it'll feed better than the other shawties. It's pretty perfect for NA, honestly. Anything the 30-06 does it can do a little faster.

Godspeed, Vince. Don't get yourself turned into 🐻:poop:

My next rifle's going to be a 300 RCM and I'll probably hire GAP to build it

He didn't even charge me to fix that chamber either.

Same with mine.

I don't think a bushing would be a good idea since it wouldn't be as stiff as possible, but that is good food for thought.

They look fine, just shorter than they ought to be.

I tend to agree, but if they added a metal bottom metal and a metal magazine it'd increase the price to 200 more than what it is. A lot would be willing to pay that, however. They shoot like they're in the next price point anyways.

He was the nearest gunsmith to me when I went to him. He refused to reimburse the barrel and I didn't fight it. I now live 10 minutes from GA Precision so they get my business nowadays. They fixed the rough chamber that the first gunsmith left as well.

Say what you will about Tikka mags, but those things feed like they have eyes and I have never had a hangup or failure to feed.

When building my 280AI, the gunsmith who threaded and chambered my barrel nearly completely messed up the threads on both ends, breech and muzzle. The breech only has 8 threads (normal for a 700 is around 12) and the muzzle threads are too short for most devices. It's shot OK, but it seems...

I got some Hybrid 100V for pre-pandemic prices there the other day along with some Nosler 280 AI boxed ammo. Haven't seen that stuff for over 3 years.

No, sorry I wasn't clear. I was asking you to elaborate on your question. I clicked on this thread from the latest posts tab; didn't realize you were talking about shotguns instead of rifles I'll provide an anecdote. Last year I was recruited by some coworkers to shoot sporting clays for this...

Care to elaborate for the slower minded folk such as myself?
