Model 700 Build Advise

Hello! I am brand new to the forum and I look forward to learning from the many wise people on here.

I am wanting to build myself a nice rifle. I can certainly buy one but I would like to learn and do the assembly myself. I am fairly familiar with the Remington 700 having shot a stock 7mm most of my life. This seems like a good model for me to base my new gun on.

The new gun will be a 6.5 CM. I am thinking Solus Barreled Action to start with? Would this be a good choice? Several forums seem to be high on this setup.

As far as stock I want to stay close to the classic look. I would love any advise on some good models.

Again thank you for any advise. I look forward to learning from everyone.

Support Hand/Rear Bag

Hoping to get some feedback from the Hide on support hand/rear bag. I’m still relatively new and want to make sure I am applying the proper fundamentals.

When using rear bag is it best to rest the rifle on the bag, the webbing of your hand (between thumb and finger), grip a bag rider, or really just 100% personal preference. Based on online content and the varying information it seems to me to really be personal preference but I’m hoping to get some feedback from some seasoned shooters.

Thanks in advance.

Suppressors Better place to buy than silencer shop?

In the market for a 9mm suppressor and it seems like all the ones in my budget are out of stock or back order. They are also $150-$200 dollars cheaper than anywhere else.

Does anyone else have experience with other sites or have an idea on how regularly they get cans in stock?

I’ve bought a can using their kiosk and it was painless.

I could be wrong, but I’m worried about using anyone else because of the ATF process.

Spotting scope recommendation; Vortex or Kowa?

I can do the Vortex HD 20-60x85 at the $1000 price point or I can slightly overspend and put a Kowa TSN-66 @ $2200 on a credit card.. The TSN88 for ~$3600 is out of the question for me dollar wise.

Will be using in a 2 day 400 yard class where it is required to have one, and I do benchrest 50 and 100 yard frequently with a 22lr competitions at my local club. No 600+ yard usage, but I'd like to graduate to that in the next few years with a 6.5 build..

Skeetir-L Troubleshooting

Looking for anyone with expertise in troubleshooting/maintnance/diagnosing issues with the SkeetIR-L

I purchased my unit on Tacswap several months ago. No issued until about a week ago.

First I had an issue when powering on the device where everything would turn on, including all of the menu options, but it was a "blank" image in that it would not pick up any signiatures. After several times powering on and off it stopped having this issue.

Fast forward a few days, I pull it back out to mess around with it. This time, after powering on like normal, I went to calibrate it, and nothing happened.

The menu button will physically press, but no feedback is given on the screen for calibration or display of the menu options.

It will pick up thermal signiatures, however it is in an uncalibrated state.

If anyone can offer any advice or expertise please do so. I am getting sick thinking about being down several thousand with no hope. Thanks.

2025 Iowa Precision Rifle Match (IPRM) Schedule

Here is the 2025 Iowa Precision Rifle Match Schedule.

Iowa Precision Rifle Match is a long range rifle match series at the beginners club level. We focus on inviting new and beginner shooters into long range positional rifles shooting matches on a local level (PRS Style). At our matches we encourage experienced shooters to coach and help entry level shooters similar to a Pro-Am type of match. The IPRM matches include a Basic and Advanced course of fire. The basic course of fire gives new shooters an easier stage design or target size to help them learn basic shooting and competition skills. The advanced course of fire has more difficulty for the experienced shooters and for the basic shooters to work up to shooting. The ultimate goal is to have these new shooters compete in their first precision rifle matches and help them get better and more confident. We hope they will eventually compete in higher level matches like the Regional 1 day Precision Rifle Series (PRS) matches and possibly the 2 day National PRS matches.

Here is a typical Course of Fire

SOLD Sig Sierra6BDX Rifle Scope, 2-12x40mm with Sig Kilo1600BDX Rangefinder

I am selling a Sig SOK16BDX61 combo that includes a Sierra 6BDX 2-12x40mm scope, a Kilo 1600BDX rangefinder and MKM Machine scope caps. I used this setup for a few years while hunting pigs. The BDX-R2 digital reticle is fantastic when paired with the rangefinder, featuring a LED light on the vertical axis that moves up or down based on the distance measured with the rangefinder. This provides the proper elevation holdover.

I am asking for $500 or best offer, shipped. I accept Zelle or PayPal Friends & Family. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
