Or you could bring it out and we will square the upper up on my lathe.
Perfect, it's been too long since I've been to Dolomite-land. I should have the upper soon- I'll give you a shout. Thanks.

BTW Fred,
I'm with Fitty on lapping the upper receiver and bedding the barrel. I have done that on several rifles. All indications is that it improves accuracy. I just use Blue Loctite for the bedding compound.,
I'm on board, I just need to talk Fitty into renting me that lapping tool he made

We made five in a row but have missed the last two. Looks like I'll probably miss this one too unfortunately.

That looks awesome Rob!

This is the playlist for my 6.5 creedmoor AR10 variant I just built.
How the hell did I miss this? Thanks!

Finally got to fondle my little brother's Ruger. It's pretty sweet for a bolt gun.
If I could find one of those Rugers at non-ridiculous pricing I wouldn't need to build the AR lol.

Anyone built one? I've got a little bit in my gun fund and am looking hard at one of these. Was looking at a F-1 Firearms upper/lower and BCG, a Luth-AR stock and a Ballistic Advantage barrel. Kind of undecided after that. Any suggestions?

Major Kong, thanks for the response. Sounds good! You free this weekend? I load 9mm, .223, and .308. I'm technically good right now on SP and SR primers, and I have enough pistol powder for about 1,500 rounds. I have 100 .223 rounds loaded, and maybe enough powder for another 150 rounds. What I wanted to is get an 8lb jug of a good .308 powder like IMR 4064 or similar and some LR primers. I'm thinking I'd like to get the order placed in 6 to 8 weeks. This will give me time to get a couple more paychecks (just started a job here in Oak Ridge last Thursday, and it'll a few more guys a chance to get in on this. Sound good?
Not sure how this weekend looks for me. If I can make it work I'll send you a message.
I picked up 1k primers at Proneshooter today so I'm good on those for a while but didn't get any powder.

Hey Grunt, I'm a member at ORSA and live about 15 minutes away. I'd be happy to meet you up there one day and show you around. It's truly the best deal around for the cost.
I also do a good bit of hand loading and am close to needing some H1000 and some primers. When are you looking to place an order?

That a nice combo you got there.
How do you like that FFP? Is it MIL- MIL? And, What reticle do you have ?
Cant wait to see some groups.
Thanks, I got the EBR-1 MRAD reticle and I do prefer the FFP.
As far as the groups, I'm going to try load development with OCW for this one. My shooting buddy swears by it and with the cost of shooting this thing getting a pet load developed a little more quickly sounds good to me. For anyone not familiar with OCW here's the skinny:

I recently picked up a Savage Model 112 Magnum Target in 338 LM. I took it out to ORSA today for barrel break-in. I shot 10 rounds of 250gr Lapua Scenar, using Lapua brass and 91 grains of H1000. Projectiles were set with a .025 jump. I wasn't shooting for accuracy or even truly to zero the scope, just to get a feel for it and break the barrel in.
After just 10 rounds I can confirm a few things: 1) It's impossible not to grin when you shoot this thing. 2) The target accu-trigger is super-responsive. I don't have a gauge to measure the pull but it feels like a factory setting of 1lb-ish. 3) The muzzle brake will not make you any friends on the firing line. Luckily today I didn't have anyone on either side of me so it wasn't an issue.
I didn't get a picture at the range but this is it while I was mounting the scope. It's got a Ken Farrell 20moa base, Seekins rings, and a Vortex Viper PST FFP 6-24x50 that I took off another rifle.

I've already got a 30 oz yeti, I'd definitely be interested in a 20 oz with the TGO logo.

Thanks. I didn't know about this scope the reticle looks like something I could use. How does the ring portion of the reticle look at mid power say 3 or 4x?
I'd call it very clear with no washout. If you're around Knoxville you're welcome to take a look at mine. I don't currently have it mounted on anything, it's just sitting around wasting space like a Bernie voter.

I have a SWFA 1-6x24 FFP scope and have found it to be very good quality. While it is closer to the $1000 price range they can be found on sale for several hundred dollars off occasionally.

I've not owned a 566 but I did own it's big brother the 560. It was a great knife but a little too big for every day carry. It looks like the 566 has fixed that. That said, I still own two 350s and believe they are the best value made in that price range. I don't think you'd be disappointed with either.

Mmm, I've been craving a G40 lately.
Update. Found my G40 yesterday. Loving this big bastard.- 2

If you are looking for a DIY solution, you can try the Kaizen Foam. The Woodcraft in Franklin usually has some in stock, or has in the past. My results haven't been as nice as these, but a huge improvement over the pull-out cubes.
I went and bought some of the Kaizen foam today. I don't really even have a use for it but I told my wife it looked like a solution searching for a problem. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks nice. Care to share the details? Is that a Vortex Razor on top?
