    Before and after blueprinting action: Results?

    Whether or not blueprinting if worth it to you depends on what you want out of it. I assume you intend to pick up an aftermarket bolt then. I chose 1 piece as I believe it is stronger than bolting 2 parts together. M700 can have varying bolt channel ID. They recommend to size your bolt...

    Babies first AR-10 build (260 Rem)

    I run a Fulton Armory chrome BCG in my LR308 build which did not include a bolt. I run with a JP bolt. Just checked their website and they don't have any completed bcg available, only stripped. Mine was complete when I bought it couple years ago.

    700 Long action just sitting around :'(

    I am a small build and run 30-06 fine on my rig. 5'5" 130 lbs. I run with a Med Palma Bartlein 24" 1:10 with an AAC brake. Recoil is very manageable and just a little more than my braked .308 AR. I chose 30-06 as I can squeeze out a little more velocity or run heavier bullets like the 208...

    Duplicating POI with and without a can?

    Re: Duplicating POI with and without a can? My understanding was that the harmonics does play a role, but its more that that suppressor "pulls" the barrel down on lightweight barrel contours.

    Vertical magazine play causing jams

    I have a R700 LA with a Surgeon DBM. Rifle is glass and pillar bedded in a MCM A5 stock. The issue is the magazine has a decent amount of vertical play. With even the slightest pressure on the magazine pushing it up, the bolt gets hung up on the feedlips. It is fine if there is no pressure...

    I am trying to figure out what size rings I need for a build, but my action and parts are currently with the rifle builder. Does anyone know the height of a Rem action with seekins base?

    Rifle Scopes SBR Optic Choice

    Re: SBR Optic Choice I use an Aimpoint Micro on my 10.5 SBR. I would be just as happy with throwing my Vortex Viper PST 1-4 on there too. Depends on how much weight you would be okay with adding to the system.
