    6.5-284 Norma vs. 6.5-284 Winchester

    Does anyone know if 6.5 x 284 brass is available nickel plated?

    Scope Ring Honing

    It should be the operator's responsibility to see that his fixture is properly maintained and his tooling like drill bits, etc. is properly sharpened unless quantity slop over quality work is deemed good enough. Why couldn't Remington even get the handle properly soldered to the bolt body such...

    Picatinny rail or reg bases for mark v and vx6 scope?

    Pic rails supposedly eliminate the need to lap rings. I like the look of the Leupold Mark 4 rings, but the steel ones plus your scope will add noticeable weight.

    Scope Ring Honing

    Remington actions are/were mass produced usually [I'm guessing] CNC equipment. So what do you think it might add costwise and timewise to produce actions that are within "blueprint" specs? Such actions should pretty much align right on the gnat's a$s with scope bases and mounts, assuming the...

    New scope for my 22-250?

    A little over 6 bills TYD if you can swing it and want the extra power. https://www.leupold.com/vx-3hd-6-5-20x40-efr-cds-t-fine-duplex-riflescope

    Scopes for lefties??

    Just recently purchased another scope from Schmalts a Leupold 182502. Since it has a AO, I've mounted it like I normally would. Might try to hunt with it if I draw an antelope tag.

    Does it indicate what MOA size of rail you might want to use?

    Blending powders

    I would posit that blending Reloder 19 and Reloder 17 is akin to blending skim milk and 2% milk, but I wouldn't say that 50% of each would get you Reloder 18. It wouldn't surprise me that the maximum possible spec to qualify Reloder 17 as a cannister powder is the same as or nearly the same...

    To Flute or not to Flute?

    Why would they contour or do any other operation after stress relieving when the could simply do it before especially if that's what a customer is ordering? I don't claim to know how these places run their operation, but if you order a Remington contour barrel from Hart do they pull one off the...

    Blending powders

    If you have the lab and equipment to test them then I could see how they might do it. Need to be 100% mixed and uniform.

    GUNWERKS

    What's so special about a $1000 barrel that makes it BETTER than a $400 barrel and who is charging $1000 for their barrels? Way back Ed Shilen noticed that some barrels measured BETTER than others and in a stroke of marketing genius called them select match and charged $50 more even tho most...

    Does that include load development? You get a barrel that's half worn out? Or do they offer standard ammo and expect that every rifle they make will shoot it the same.

    To Flute or not to Flute?

    It induces stress in the metal. I expect that they would recommend doing it BEFORE stress relieving. Might not make a big difference in a "hunting" rifle, but might well matter for a match grade barrel. It's their barrel and they can warrant it as they see fit.
