    Lapua .308 brass

    I use 39 gr IMR 3031 / 175gr SMK's (max load per Sierra's data) and I've gotten up to four loadings, no problem. I neck size and have annealed the cases after the third loading. So far the primer pockets are doing their job. I have not seen any high pressure signs, nor have I seen any high...

    Pencil barrel Rem 700 in chassis or stock designed for a heavier contour

    I've got a Remington 700 that I would like to upgrade the stock on. It has a pencil barrel with about 2000 rounds of .30-06 through it and I'm thinking it may still have enough life in it that I don't want to replace it just yet. In the mean time, I'd like to put it into a Manners mini...

    Best Barrel Contour

    I hope this isn't too much of a threadjack, but how do Remington 700 contours translate to the FN SPR A2/A4 24" rifle (as found on http://www.tacticalcoordination.com/)? Is it more like the Remington Sendero, Varmint, or M 24?

    What Rifle or Caliber to Choose? Why most guys do it backwards.

    I wish I'd been able to read this in 2008 when I was shopping for a long range rifle. Although I made the right choice between .308 and .30-06 for my hunting rifle, there were other caliber selections (like the 7mm's that you listed) that may have been a better choice. At the time I had wanted...

    Good Caliber To Start With?

    I've got a .30-06 R700 ADL (pencil bbl / hunting rifle) and have had great luck finding ammo at Wal Mart during the shortage. I reload using the Hornady manual and was surprised to see that the max loads for .30-06 fall into the mid-range of identical bullet loadings for the .300 Win Mag. I'm...

    Scratched the side of a bolt lug on Remington 700

    I was actually thinking about how I might be able to employ washers in my stock. Glad I came back to this thread!

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for AIAW SM in 300winmag?

    I was in a similar positions recently. I had it narrowed down to S&B PMII 5-25 and PMII 3-20. I went with the 5-25 for a number of reasons: 1) The MTC knobs are not particularly popular - I wanted DT and you can't get those with the PMII 3-20 right now 2) Price - for the price of a 3-20 w/...

    Scratched the side of a bolt lug on Remington 700

    Good to hear it is nothing serious. I guess I have some more amateur gunsmithing in my future and a story to tell. Thanks for the the responses!

    Scratched the side of a bolt lug on Remington 700

    I have an "idiot mark" on my first 1911 and was kind of feeling I'd been down this path before...

    Scratched the side of a bolt lug on Remington 700

    I recently torqued my action onto the stock more than my plastic ADL stock could handle. The front action screw protruded enough to leave a small scratch on my bottom bolt lug. How bad is this for the gun?

    Need HELP: POI shifting throughout course of fire

    Is it possible to alter the headspace enough to cause an overpressure situation by removing an action/barrel/trigger from the stock, then re-installing it?

    Given a Brit. 303 Enfield rifle.

    There is a guy on reddit.com/r/guns who is very knowledgeable about Enfields. He did a post recently on them. I'd go search that subreddit.

    Non-Toxic Bore Solvent?

    Another vote for KG 1 and KG 12. I use KG 1 every time I clean my bore and use KG 12 every 10 cleanings or so (I don't strip all the copper out either, just run a couple patches). Both are mild-smelling and I have yet to see any giant bats fly through my gun room while using the stuff.

    Bedding Manners T2A with Mini-Chasis

    Nice! I wasn't sure how big the squares were. I've got a Remington 700 ADL .30-06 and I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I get 1MOA at 100 on a good day and am thinking I want to put a decent light weight stock on it. The manners mini chassis with T4 or T4A seemed like a...
