Since the AR10 and AR180 sections were merged into the AR variants for slow traffic how about we use that bandwidth for a bolt action section ?
There is no shortage of interest in MilSurp, FuddGun, Varmint, Scout, Beater Bolty, hunting and accurized rifles. Could call it "Fudd & Bubba", the home for wayward bolt actions OTHER than precision and C&R. A bolt gun forum would keep the non precision rifle traffic out of the precision rifle section. Edit to add poll. |

Like other forums don't turn in to GD sometimes? But not for long, thankfully.

Ehh, why not. But isn't that what GFD is...?

Does precision rifles not cover that area, or because it has precision semis as well?

Good humor aside I believe I am seeing the emergence of a new wave or subset of firearms interest. IDK what to call it but It seems to be a fusion of elements drawn from classic American riflery, precision, practical, MilSurp and Fudd and it has a strong applications of D.I.Y. Bolt actions are the commonality that runs through it. |

I can request a new forum if there is enough interest in one.

^we need I change the stigma of locked threads.
Mods, IMHO, need to lock more threads and, kindly, poit people to the FAQs. Of course this is a discussion board but certain topics don't need to be continually hashed out. The other side of that is that stickies need to be continually updated Ymmv Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

[Rambling]I would liketo make a motion . And now that I have done that I do like the idea. No offense meant but it would keep the precision rifle forum less cluttered. I have both precision rifles and jack of all trade/diy bolt guns that are not precision rifles they are accurate that's for sure but my 300wm savage doesnt need to shoot .25 moa. They are utilitarian in nature. Like the difference between an STI and a glock.

C&R forum habitues are stuck-ups empowered by the 1968 Gun Control Act they worship. If you want to preserve your Mosin - go to the C&R forum - they'll help you keep the original Soviet cosmoline in the stock under the shellac. Want to scope your Mosin? Come to the bolt-action rifle forum where we lovingly whittle on the remnants of the 20th Century's wars to better murder deer. |

I would like to see a general bolt gun forum since the majority of my bolt guns fall in that category.

I too, would enjoy a place to discuss current bolt action rifles that are not submoa, long range "precision" rifles. We do need a place dedicated to bolt guns in general, just like we have for shotguns and for lever action rifles. Keep the traffic here for the benefit of our sponsors and advertisers, rather than having us go to some other forum to ask technical questions about a particular ejector for a Sako L579, or about a Remington Custom Shop 700 Mountain Rifle or the various iterations of Winchester Model 70's, or Weatherby Mark V.
We already have a brand specific subforum for Ruger Centerfire Rifles. That is good. But why not for Remington, Winchester, Weatherby, Savage, Sako, et cetera. Maybe make the Ruger subforum more generic? Or add for other brands at least as popular? Many of us here love this board but spend as much time in a deer stand as doing tactical shooting with our AR15's. |

Anyone know a reputable rifle smith that cuts stripper clip slots in Remington 700 receivers ? |

I think it would be a good idea. It would certainly keep some of the hunting rifle questions out of the precision paper/ steel shooting way.

I support the idea. I'm new to boltys with a RAR in .30-06. I check out the precision forum, but they're way over my head. I wouldn't dare ask a question there. I don't post unless I feel I have something useful to say or ask, so I'd be reading more than posting, but I'd definitely check in regularly.

So no
