    Remington quality

    The bolt knobs were always something ive never liked on the remingtons, are the wood stocks better than the synthetics?

    Remington quality

    So if i bought one what should i look into aftermarket wise? I have no problem doing some mods or whatever i would just like to know beforehand so that when i do buy one i know what to do afterwards.

    Remington 700 5.7x28 conversion

    Re: Remington 700 5.7x28 conversion there was one guy on another forum who did this conversion, but his was a single shot, but what he wanted to do was use a fn magazine i believe for the rifle, but i wasnt able to find out anything else on it.

    Remington 700 5.7x28 conversion

    Re: Remington 700 5.7x28 conversion there has to be someway it will work, i mean they sell the bolt and barrel at midway for converting your 700 to 5.7x28, i just want to know what reciever would work the best, so far it seems like the .223, i was also considering a detachable box magazine kit.

    Remington 700 5.7x28 conversion

    alright, so im considering doing this conversion at somepoint in the future with the ptg bolt and all that from midway and was wondering what chambering i should buy the rifle in before the conversion, i was thinking .223 would be the right size but im not sure, any help would be great.

    savage 111 and DBM kit

    Re: savage 111 and DBM kit i searched that acme kit and it says it will only work on short actions and the rifle is a .300 win mag,and i know that cdi has a dbm kit for long action savage 110's, i was wondering if that would work on the 111 if i kept the normal stock
