    rifle construction

    barrel " block " Gary - Not a " barrel block " so much as it is a " barrel clamp ". I use a doubled-up plumbers repair " clamp ", carriage bolts, torque plates borrowed from "U"bolts' and nylon insert jam nuts to secure my 6mm wildcat's barrel to the channel of an aluminum "I"...

    Trying to get 69gr Sierra TMKs to shoot 8"twist 22/250

    69 t mk Worker - Howdy ! Say... how long is your .22-250's barrel ? For a 24" barrel, IMR 4350 sounds pretty good. For a 26+ plus, you might want to try the new IMR4451, which seems to run a tad slower in burn rate; still. Have you ran your bullet's specs through a twist rate...

    where/how should a 1000 yd gun balance ?

    balance CM - Howdy ! IMHO - If it's a rifle w/ a " barrel block ", the center of balance would fall within the length of the block. Well... that's how mine is.... a 6mm w/ 29" Palma taper. With regards, .357Mag

    Off set scope mount

    Offset scope mount Jerry _ Howdy ! Weaver themselves make an ( 45* ) " offset " scope " mount ". I believe these mounts are intended for use when mounting auxilliary sighting accessories to black rifles. I co-opted the use of a pair on my Marlin M-336 XLR, to gain extra clearance...

    The Factory Side

    Factory LW - Howdy ! I wonder whether the current components crunch doesn't also play some part in this ? Its gotta impact the level of experimentation / load development, and even the amount of competition(s) that can be participated in. Speaking for myself, my intended choice for use...

    6mm ai build

    6mm varmint Jaybic - Howdy ! The window shots idea is work able. I do recommend a wider-than customary.... flat-bottomed forend. Scope-wise, use a great quality variable... one w/ good higher-end magnification. That way, you can scan for targets w/ the scope, and be ready to take the...

    bellville washers Skeetlee - Howdy ! FWIW - I've sent pics of my cast-in-place " barrel block ", that I made for my Marlin M-336 XLR .35 Rem. In this application, the block locked the barrel to the mag tube, and also provided an attach point for the home-made bi-pod legs. This set-up...
