No worries :) It's Google & posterity that concerns me, not so much your comment, you just pointed it out. Back on topic, just get out there and shoot. If you find you like the caliber, think about a custom barrel sometime. If you do grab some of the custom bullets, do report back on how...

Slightly OT, but I am so using that line with one particular fellow I know.

He edited his original post after mine, sigh. oh well.

He's referring to the Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision Varminter (LRPV) in 6BR. Have never used one, but if it lets you shoot, go for it. Higher twist == lighter bullets and lesser range. If you plan on using it under 300 yard/meters, then the < 70gr bullets are fine. If you plan on...

Jefferson can probably provide more detail, but it is my understanding that the new owner has indicated that the company will be up sometime this summer. I too am waiting.

Eric, Do you have any word for those of us not in the US? (I'm Canadian) Thanks,

It is funny :) It was created for the Planet of the Apes prequel last year.

+1 I would definitely pick up an issue if Jackie was one of the contributors.

As much as it pained me, I let my subscription run out last year after reading an article about a tactical AR, which came across as a sales pitch more than informative. That was the third strike. Can't recall what the first two were, but whatever those were, I was already annoyed by the time...

Thanks German! You're quite right, the decision is between F-Open and F/TR. The reason for both those choice is related to some major back surgury I had, which prevents me from arching my back much (if at all). I'm able to go prone, but unfortunately I am much more recoil sensitive. For...

Thanks Frank, you've given me valuable input :)

Hi there, I'm in the process of deciding the various parts for an F-Class rifle build, and I'm curious what actions folks would recommend for it? Here in Canada, the Barnard actions are very popular, but I'm unhappy with the lack of a stainless action, so I'm looking at other options. What...

For what this is worth: Based on the thread thus far, which has not identified the OEM, I suspect that the best route for resolution, should you run into this problem, is to PM Jackie or one of the other poster's who indicated they had knowledge of the problem or a solution. I highly doubt...

Skeetlee, Thanks.. Since this build would be for the 2011 season, the lead times for the action are not a big concern to me (yet, hmm.. famous last words?). What I'm really curious about is whether those folks who have used the Viper and the Diamondback think of each? A lot of board chatter...

Hi all, I'm trying to decide between a Stiller Viper or Diamondback action (with drop port), and I was wondering about the pro's and con's of either? This will be for a LV 6PPC build. Personally I prefer the aesthetics of the Diamondback, but I'm not otherwise pre-judging. Thanks, -- Stephen

In Ontario, at least, there is an exception to that -- trap and skeet shooters. Those folks will fork out lots of money for their gear, and while I don't shoot that discipline myself, I am told that the range prices here reflect that, particularly around the Greater Toronto Area. Now I've seen...

If you can afford it, get one with IR screens, as you won't be dependent on the ambient lighting for the chronograph to work. This is important if you use it at an indoor range regularly. Also, RCBS has apparently released their own chronograph. I read about it on AccurateShooter. The RCBS...

Mythical, like the Irish. Scary. A quick Google turned up this. 10805 Brookhaven, Oklahoma City, OK 73150 Double-check though.

At 48oz, the Barnard P action isn't by any means light, but being a Canadian, it is easier and less expensive to obtain than a US made action. So, rather than be reckless with my hard-earned dollars, I'm curious if there is any precedent for using such a heavy action in short-range LV...

Wow, all of this is great information, and I'm grateful to each and every one of you. Thanks :) I'll post my project once it's done! -- Stephen
