Thanks for the help, will check headspace and throat for issues. To answer last question...YES, had to slam the butt stock on the deck while pulling back the charging handle to get the bolt back, no marks on the bullets.

Question...We have two new Sig716's with same round count, both shooting Federal Gold Medal Match 175 grain SMK BTHP. One Sig716 operates smoothly but the other is showing over pressure signs such as excessive recoil, missing primers and bolt gets stuck (will not fully seat). What would cause...

Any STA 3/5 snipers from the early 80's. We were assign to L Co. after H&S Co. got tired of our unauthorized jungle boots and other things...We had a hard young Captain in L Co. as our company commander who is now the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Paxton. Great times!

I'm about to sell mine because I went to a Duplin and pulled the instruction sheet that came with my Sinclair. Check your swivel stud... There's a warning that some rifle manufacturers use a wood screw-type swivel stud. If your swivel stud is the wood screw-type, they recommend replacing it...

Getting ready to buy a 12-42 x 56 and a friend said Nightforce is coming out with a new Precision Benchrest reticle but didn't have any details. Anyone else heard of this?

You won't find a better gun builder and shooter to get you on the right path than Ray Bowman. I suggest you call him and not email because he's in his shop all day. I'm already working on my next F-T/R rifle and he's the man I want to build it.

I bought the Sinclair Gen 3 for F/TR and found out it does not fit an AICS. The response I got back from Sinclair is that I will either have to modify the sling swivel stud on the rifle or replace it with a standard size version to get the bipod on your rifle. Has anyone replaced the stud on...

Re: How many handload for Rem 700 in .308 I have a 5R and load on the lands with 175 Burger VLD's.
