    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    Kind of reminds me of when I bought my second Bear Creek arsenal upper for around $289 chambered in 243 Win. The first one I bought was a 22 inch stainless heavy barrel, which weighs as much as a pick up truck…lol. I had it shooting .3 inch groups at 100 yards with Nosler 55 grain ballistic...

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    First of all, I would put a 2 x 10 optic on it or at least a 2 1/2 x 10 . Four power is not a target scope and neither is that gun by any means. Sounds like those guns are at best of one and a half inch shooter and that’s pushing the envelope. The 2 MOA is more realistic grouping with than gun...

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    sweet!!!! Sounds like they are 1.5" to 3 moa 100 yard guns on average. Hopefully yours will beat the odds. If I cant find a load that shoots sub moa with all holes touches my gun goes down the road....but that normally doesnt happen.

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    Yep. Just make sure the forend dosent move or flex when resting or holding it. My pump loolked floated till i rested the forend on a bag or lead sled. Take it out amd ladder test it now. Fimgers crossed it tightens up your groups.

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    From what I just researched most Bar's are 2.5 moa, 100 yard guns out of the box on average. Not meant for benchrest accuracy. I also read the forend bolts to the barrel. So in therory youll never be able to properly float it. If your looking for a sub moa gun you are not going to be happy with...

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    The fore end "not floated and stress releaved" is not going to be a warranty issue. They will end up charging you $80 to a $100 plus dollars for something will take 20 mi or less of tinkering. Look up some youtube videos on how to dissasmeble and releave the stock. If you can reload you sure can...

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    I also wouldn’t waste any more ladder tests until you figure out how to get that fore end so it’s not touching the barrel. I grabbed my 7600 pump. I wiggled it around while I was holding it while gently twisting the pump back back-and-forth. It moved to the point where it would touch one side...

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    Your preference but it’s a good piece of mind for anything semi automatic. Imo it’s the best crimp on the planet and it’ll probably only cost you 20 bucks for the die. I don’t do it in my AR 15s but I use the lee factory collet crimp dies for my AR tens and anything semi auto. I also use it in...

    ...you can always try a lee factory collet crimp on them

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    I would remove the fore end and open the channel up till it floats. It will never shoot acceptable groups imo till its floated.

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    Verticle usually means the barrel is stressed...not floated. Up and down usually means my optic came loose and sliding forward with each shot from recoil. Id check to see if your forend is touching the barrel. Id also make sure its tight. I had poor accuracy like you did with my 7600 in 35...

    30-06 BAR 18.5" barrel Oryx 180

    The oxyx bullets have been non existent...where did you find them? I had some .358 that were out of spec by .002 to .004 undersized. They ended up refunding me becuause every bullet acxept for 2 sizes were out of stock on the Oryx website. Figured they went belly up. Imo any bullet in a 180...

    Never owned a 760 but I know for a fact they are not built as stout as the updated 7600's.

    If you can buy a factory chambered 35 Rem in 7600 for 1300 to 1850 you could quadruple your $$$$. Its about the rarest offering in a 7600. The 35 whelens they kept making non stop the last year beofore Rem went belly up. They did offer the 760's in 35 rem youll see for sale once in a blue moon...

    I first cut off every pieces of white fat that I can see. Then wash really good. From there I put them on the bottom rack on broil. I will pat off all the melted fat, flip, and repeat every few minutes till it "looks" like all the fat melted off. Then I place the ribs in a completely sealed...

    Well, the best part is I never hit ribs! I will be making them in the oven in the next few days! The giant 21”inside spread 9 point buck I shot during archery season a few weeks ago I tore the ribs up pretty good. I’m boiling the tongue right now. I’ll fry it up after about 4 1/2 hours of...

    I think the flat metplates on those tips must push in a ways and then rips a big hole going in.

    Nope, clear shot at about 25 yards on the dead run. That’s been pretty a common entrance hole size on deer at that speed per my last few I’ve shot. Even the 35 Remington has made holes that big going in. For some reason that bullet makes big holes on entrance. Those things are nastier than a...

    Giant hole in and exited in front of the shoulder on opposite side. Ran 85 plus yards and then slid a good 100 plus yards down my ridge....geeze! I can not believe it traveled that far. I heard it roll down the ridge. Zero blood inside when I field dressed it. I would say the entry hole was...
