Bix’n Andy Trigger Shootout

I first heard about Bix’n Andy Triggers from BAT Machine and have greatly enjoyed shooting them. Two of my recent builds, the .280 AI and Stiller Predator .22 Creedmoor, have included the Bix’n Andy Dakota and Competition triggers. This time we’re going deeper, digging into the company’s founding as well as using the TriggerScan TS-11 […]

WOOX Superleggera .280 AI Custom Rifle Build

I had created a poll asking my viewers what hunting rifle content they wanted to see with a list of cartridges. To my great surprise, the forerunner, .280 AI, wasn’t even on the list.

German Precision: Anschutz Benchrest 54.18 Rifle

We’ve become big fans of Anschutz, a premier rifle manufacturer known for its incredibly accurate rimfire models.

The Anschutz 54.18 match BR50-U7 is the answer.  Disclaimer Ultimate Reloader LLC / Making […]

Timney HOWA 1500 Trigger Upgrade: Install, TriggerScan, Shooting

I consider the trigger to be one of the most important parts of a precision rifle. For me, the dynamics of the trigger have a huge effect on how consistently I can shoot a rifle, espeically when that rifle isn’t “locked down” in a bench rest. Recently I performed a rebuild on a HOWA 1500 […]
