Greetings; Rifle: Remington 700 SA with a Nightforce standard duty base in 0-MOA. Scope's outside Eye Bell Diameter is 44mm. I'd like to get as close to the barrel as possible without bolt handle cycle interference. Issue: I've already calculated that the Objective will clear the barrel with...

Regarding new stock 700 Police LTR .308 with factory H-S Precision composite stock. RemArms number R86673. I'd like to hear which Detachable Magazine Kits are really drop-in without inletting. 308 caliber. Metal kits are preferred over polymer. Kits using common cheaper magazines are a plus...

A seller on Gun Broker has "Rare Remington 700 Police" listed for $3500. [Item 1025228856] He points to a 2016 article in Sniper Country PX Blog by Scott Powers regarding a limited run of 700 Police with a 20" stainless 5R barrel. 700 Police 5R Stainless “Exclusive” (SKU: 86594) It...

9mm sticky has only 11 replies and nothing for Unique powder, of which I have a considerable supply. It appears lately some companies like Sierra have seriously reduced their max load data for Unique. To confirm, I would appreciate it if someone could run me a Quickload. Specifically, I'm...

I created a thread regarding a Remington 700 that I saw offered for sale. Several Hide members objected and suggested that I buy a Tikka instead. So I've created this thread so the other thread doesn't wander off topic. I'm moving from an Armalite AR10 to a bolt action looking for tighter...

Hello; There is a used but nice looking Remington 700 in a LGS that I'm looking at. The barrel is marked "308 WIN 1 IN 10 LT TACTICAL" The barrel is marked 'AG' so it is a 2012 manufactured rifle. The shop says it is sitting in a McMillan MC3 Stock. I cannot find any information on a 700 "LT...

I'm coming from a somewhat heavy .308 gas gun, getting a little older, so I'm looking to cut weight and overall size. I'm heavily invested in .308 reloading equipment, so I'm not looking for a caliber change. Obviously, the Tikka T3x CTR seems like the ideal rifle. sub-MOA accuracy in most...

First time learning about this rifle. Very excited about the .308 version in matte black barrel. One very serious question though. I've searched all over the Internet, and I cannot find any information on the barrel steels for this Tikka. Yes, I know it is hammer forged, but what type of steel...

In .308, I’ve been shooting the 175gr SMK Moly out of a 20” Armalite AR10. After years of faithful service, I’m having the upper rebarreled with a JP Rifles Supermatch barrel. Of course, I will have to start over with my load testing this summer. I had a great load for the Armalite Chrome/CM...

Long time reloader here. :) I've been shooting moly-coated bullets for awhile, and was happy just to buy them precoated. So yesterday, I called my favorite bullet manufacturer to ask when they would be shipping their moly-coated varieties. The nice rep told me that they had not sent out their...

I've had my AR10A4B since 1999. This fall I sent the olde girl to Armalite for their AR-10 Standard Update package, and their techs found some throat erosion. Since I recently joined a range that has positions out to 600yds, I'd like to get it rebarreled. So as you can imagine, I'm researching...

Hello the Hide; I just received a box of powder through FedEx from a private seller. He added a $25.00 cost for hazmat. OK, we all know that's UPS/FedEx policy. But as I look at all sides of the shipping box, I see no hazmat sticker, and nothing noting hazardous material on the shipping...

(Rant On) I don't reload with the trendy powders. For instance, I never drank the Varget Kool-Aide. I don't use TAC or CFE223 or other fashionable powders. Yet, it's been 10 months since the Panic started, and I can't find my unloved, disfavored, powders in stock. FWIW I use: Unique...

I recently bought a new USO ST-10 TPAL, and used it on the range for the first time yesterday. The optics clarity is great, and eye relief fine. But I'm having a real problem with the - (I believe it's called) - exit pupil. The diameter of the circle of the image is very critical, and any little...

I should be receiving a USO scope soon, and would like to know what the optimum install height is for the Armalite AR10. No additional MOA needed in the mount, no tapered base. Also, is this measurement from the top of the picitinny rail to the bottom of the scope or otherwise? I am going to...

There is a BHP on consignment at a local shop. It is a regular Mark III with a serial number starting with 511MW5xxxx. I handled the pistol and have these observations. Finish is nearly 100%. While I could not field strip the pistol due to a busy counter, I note the magazine disconnect was...

First off, everyone will want to know the type of rifle & it's intended purpose. Rifle: Armalite AR10A4 flat top, 20" heavy barrel. 2-stage trigger, H&K style PSG-1 palm rest, Bennie Cooley, tactical rifle compensator, bipod. Purpose of the rifle: For shooting .308 at ranges from not under...

The default reticle is the #004 mil-dot. I'm not sure it has enough subtensions for the non-dedicated marksman shooter to range easily. If this is in error, I invite you to point me to an internet training video or article. Otherwise, there are several other mil reticles available on the USO...

I know it is no longer in production. :) I've search for reviews on it, and there seems to be so little information out there. If you or a friend had one, or if you know a link to a review, I'd be interested. Was the US Optics ST17 17X Scope a good design? Was it popular? How did it handle...
