I have a bad jones for a Backcountry 2.0ti lefty in .308.

Fierce has a record of QC problems. There are 2 that I know of that went out the door without rifling in the barrel. My understanding is that the older Canadian ones are good to go, the new ones are built in Utah by some online influencer who is just as likely to tell you to pound sand as not if...

^This for sure. MIG is great in production fabrication. Fine work? Kinda clumsy. Silver solder works great too, lots of gunsmiths who can’t weld are successful using it. The guy clearly has something going on behind the curtain.

There’s one being tested on another forum. Real testing, not gun writer testing. MRC sent it out with some somewhat embarrassing problems that were corrected by the tester. Nothing was hidden from the public. They have been transparent during the process. I am firmly in their corner and wishing...

Just imagine how well you’d like a real synthetic stock[emoji3]

If it tastes like it and smells like it, yes it is. You will go miles and miles to find a custom rifle builder that recommends or uses them. They are/were used on some Winchester Extreme Weathers for a time because they are cheap and available. Their market is for the guy to buy one and bolt on...

I installed a Boyd’s on a lefty Zastava Mauser 3-4 years ago. I don’t recall a crossbolt but I could be wrong. The inlet took a lot of work to get it to sit level in the stock. No long term report on its durability as I let the rifle get away. There are plenty of Boyd’s reports about...

Anyone who recommends replacing a well fit McMillan fiberglass stock on a heavy recoiling rifle for a Boyd’s laminate (it will split) or a Bell and Carlson (mostly rigid foam) is sniffing glue. [emoji1] If you want to add weight, have a stock fitter add weight. You have the perfect place to...

I am giving consideration to a 416 Taylor Tikka T3X. Just because I can. Haha.

There is a company called Unknown Munitions in Post Falls Idaho that is really good on Tikka stuff. That would be my go-to for your project.

Timney trigger. Sacrilege! Someone get a rope.

Nice rifle, excellent cartridge, fair value. If it is stainless it would be hard to let get away.

Looks like a scope issue to me. I’d try a different one.

Well done Rockefeller.

Excellent info. I live in a high humidity, cool temperature area at sea level. I’m not sure how environmental surroundings factor in. It is rare to have a shot past 100 yards due to the forest. It would be nice to identify heat beyond that range if possible. Thanks all.
