Pop - I sent the rifles to Carolina Precision Rifles and the gunsmith worked from a list of specs we had agreed to, including the Pac-Nor barrels & contour, Wenig stock set, Gunkote, etc. The total was around $1500 per rifle. I believe the stocks and fitting, bedding was around $500 of this...

They are finished! Free floated Pac Nor barrels (22"), Wenig laminated stocks w/ forearm bedded to action, 3# triggers, Pachmyer or Limbsaver pads, Gunkote, Leupold VXII 3-9X scopes. Weight right at 9 lbs. Top one is .30-06 Sprg and bottom one is .243 Win, with a slightly heavier barrel...

You may have a point. And I noticed the smileys. However, after we assumed "they" would find something harmful in dust, our safety officer suggested we wet down our tire loft and wear HEPA cartridges when sweeping, due to possible concerns with hantavirus, and we later read that there was a...

I certainly don't understand lead as much as I should, I suppose. Yes, the particulate form is dangerous, as would be created from sanding lead paint. They found high levels of lead in children of workers who tracked lead home in their shoes/clothing from high levels of lead in the workplace...

No, I don't think anyone can. That's why we wear respirators at work for everything we have any doubts on, including dust. WISHA doesn't require it, but we joked that 5 years from now some clever scientist will find something new in dust to be afraid of, so we may as well exceed the...

I'm no fan of banning lead ammunition, but there are some concerns that are valid, IMO. If an indoor shooting range can't keep their airborne lead levels down to safe levels, they can either put in a very expensive air handling system or ban shooting unjacketed lead bullets. (I think the...

Here's a link to a brief discussion on scope cant - http://www.charliedatuna.com/airgun_docs/The%20Effect%20of%20Scope%20Cant.doc It's about an air rifle, but the principle is the same. IMO, if you have higher than necessary rings, you may have a worse problem with scope cant errors. Another...

I bought a barreled action from MRC around 18 months ago. I asked if they could ship to Accurate Innovations to have a stock fitted and they said yes. Around 6 mos after I started, I had a nice rifle. Heavy profile stainless barrel in .30-06, laminated stock from AI. The feed is flawless and...

I have two Ruger #1's (in .243 Win and .30-06 Sprg) and they both do the same thing you are describing. You may be able to adjust the ejection force enough for it to bounce clear. When I tried adjusting as a way to make it eject cleanly, I got around 50% of the time it bounced back into the...

I have a Winchester 1895 in .30-06 (Miroku) and I understand it and the Browning are both safe for modern loads. A lot of the original 1895's aren't. I can't remember why, but I think the steels used at the time weren't up to it and the bolt would "flow", increasing headspace. I have had good...
