    My First .223

    Out of curiosity, would it be even better to look into .224 Valkyrie over .223?

    My First .223

    Holy cows. I am going to start looking into all of that right now. Thanks for taking the time to lay all of that out.

    My First .223

    Thank you for that. I am thinking more of the 300 yard ballpark. At least for now. It all has to start somewhere right? lol But yeah there wont be much carrying happening so weight wont be a real issue. I also have found that flat trajectories is also desired, at least for this type of...

    My First .223

    A friend of mine and I have been talking a lot about going prairie dog shooting next summer in South Dakota. I have always wanted to get a .223 and now I have a reason too. :) Anyway, I have been a bit torn on what to get. It seems that it'd need to be $1000 or less (based on my findings and...

    Gunsmithing New Tool Kit

    Well since I will be doing some future work on my guns I think I would like to do the work myself. As of right now I have A Remington 870 12 gauge, Ruger 10/22, and my Remington 700 30-06 SPS. What would be a good tool kit(s) that I could get to service my guns without breaking the bank? Thanks...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 SPS barrel floating

    Re: Remington 700 SPS barrel floating Sure that makes sense. Like I said, right now it shoots ok. I had to get my scope zeroed in before hunting so this is how it went down at the range. I was assisted by a range member and he had me load/shoot one round at a time. After maybe 5 rounds or so...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 SPS barrel floating

    Re: Remington 700 SPS barrel floating @BigMoneyGrip I guess up to this point I thought they were one of the same, so thank you for pointing out that its not. After some reading and understanding the differences I do believe that it is bedding I want to do. Now in addition to giving a solid...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 SPS barrel floating

    Re: Remington 700 SPS barrel floating I'm sorry I'm not sure exactly what your asking. If you're asking if I would like to keep it close to standard/hunting weight I guess that would be nice but I'm not to sure that its a huge issue depending how much weight would be tacked on.

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 SPS barrel floating

    So, a couple months ago I had purchased my first deer rifle. Its a Remington 700 SPS 30-06 with a Nikon Monarch 3-12x40 Scope. Now I know this isn't a hunting forum but I am looking to do something to the gun that is more precision shooting related and not so much hunting related. Now eventually...
