Re: Question on 700 bottom metal I bought the HS Precision 10 round mag and bottom metal for my Rem 5R. Fit perfectly although you have to do a little tweaking with the depth of the magazine, meaning how tight you snug up the screws. My stock is a HS stock but I think it fits Rem 700 stocks...

Re: High Standard Magazine Thanks. I'll ship it off to them.

Re: Tactical Base Loose Blue loctite it is. Thanks KYS 338.

Went to the range yesterday and my Supermatic magazine fell apart after I loaded it. The bottom piece seperated from the magazine body and the spring fell out.Looks like it is held in place by being "stamped" into the body by 2 dimples. Not sure. Any suggestions on how to fix and where I can buy...

Went to the range yesterday with my 5R and I was all over the place.Couldn't dial in. Checked rings- they were ok. Thought it was my scope. Got home and discovered that all 4 screws from my Warne tactical base were loose. Any suggestions to prevent this in the future. Loctite on the threads...

Re: Remington 700 5r Milspec on the way, what mods? I had my 5R skim bedded and the action trued just to give me peace of mind. I didn't like the way the bolt cycled and my smith trued the bolt and fluted it. Now it is smooth as silk. I added a HS 10 round DBM that works perfectly and is a...

Re: Remington R5 Milspec - First Range Session Originally Posted By: yej0001The only complaint I have for my 5R is the stiff trigger. In fact I may get rid of it because of that. Also debating whether to throw the towel and give it an overhaul - adding an FTE brake, tactical knob, and jewell...

Re: Karsten cheek rest Very easy to install, just a matter of minutes. I spoke to Karsten on the phone, he is a real good guy.

Re: Leupold M3 knob differences? I think it depends on the year and model number. My Vari-X 111 has a counter clockwise M3 knob. When I ordered a new M3 turret from Leupold they sent a clockwise dial. I had to call them and ask for a counter clockwise turret. Plus, my dial was in meters and I...

Re: Advice on an Alaska Gun!! 338,300,375????? The .300 is the best all around cartridge for Alaska with the exception of large coastal brown bears. Most bear outfitters would suggest .338 or .375. However, a .300 will stop a brownie and I can't see shooting a wolf with a .338, so go with the...

Re: Barrel Cleaning Confusion. Pull Through and Foam. Well, a coating of oil can't hurt, particularly if the barrel isn't stainless. I agree with the other guys that we spend way too much time cleaning. My 5R is always copper fouled and when I use wipeout and get it real clean, it doesn't...

Re: Karsten's Cheek Rest I have seen a picture somewhere (probably on this site) of a Karsten cheek piece with a stock pack. It probably depends on how high you raise it. I just installed one about 3 weeks ago, very easy to do and Karsten is a great guy to deal with.

Re: How much to install Badger M5 Short BM in 700 5-r? I agree with USMCj, it is certainly not a drop in situation. I'm going to put a H-S Precision DBM assembly on my 5R because of ease and cost. If I ever build a new rifle I would use Badger DBM though.

Guys, I'm not lookin' to stir the pot or anything, but which state do you think produces the best shooters. And by best I mean everything, all types of competitions, hunting, etc. I figured it would be the plains states like Texas, Oklahoma, etc. However, I know there are a lot of shooters in...

Re: Gunsmith recommendation Thanks guys. I didn't realize I had so much talent that close.
