    Remington 700 stock/mag option

    Re: Remington 700 stock/mag option Is this not the right forum for these question? Not a good place for newbs to learn?

    Remington 700 stock/mag option

    Re: Remington 700 stock/mag option [cricket chirping]..... I have honestly tried to figure this out via the search here, but there aren't exactly any "how to" threads that explain these things for newbies. Almost seems like its implied you already know all these answers and own a $2K built...

    Remington 700 stock/mag option

    Re: Remington 700 stock/mag option That's another question I have: are AICS parts not the same as Remington factory? I don't quite understand the difference. Will a DM trigger guard for AICS mags not accept the original factory 4 rounder? Still wondering about my OP questions

    Remington 700 stock/mag option

    Re: Remington 700 stock/mag option Well, fair enough. I actually have a Savage 10 in a HS Precision stock. This Remy was going to be a hunting rifle. That Savage with it's bipod and Falcon Menace scope is not easily carried around walking in the woods all day, ya know? So I got this ADL cuz...

    Remington 700 stock/mag option

    I've been giving this an honest go to try and figure out the options I have for configuring my 700 into new and improved configs, but there is sooo much info and options out there I can't narrow it down with simple searches. So if someone could clarify for me I'd be ever so grateful. I have a...

    Help w/ Remy 700 stock

    Re: Help w/ Remy 700 stock Can someone confirm for me that the existing follower and spring from my ADL will work if I just get the BDL box? Thanks.

    Help w/ Remy 700 stock

    Re: Help w/ Remy 700 stock slothlacrosse was cool enough to send me the bottom metal that I need for my Hogue stock to work with my Remy. Am I correct that the last thing I need now is a BDL box, follower and spring? My ADL doesn't seem to work. Is that going to do it then? Any special screws...

    Help w/ Remy 700 stock

    I have an SPS Varmint, and I bought a stock from an SPS Tactical thinking I could just swap them out. Well, the Varmint has a blind mag, and the Tactical stock has a big old cutout for the external mag. Is there a way to use this, or is it just my new door proper-upper?

    Range Report .308 in 16" barrels...does this work?

    This might not be the right place for this question, but I know this is where the pros hang out, so thanks in advance for indulging me. I recently read a comment (in a discussion about DPMS 16" carbines) that has suddenly caused me to question some arms in my safe. Is it true that the...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace: new knobs and old knobs

    Re: Falcon Menace: new knobs and old knobs The numbers aren't the same for everyone? Thanks Digit. I didn't realize the target would appear to move if there was parallax occurring. Should I just turn the knob then and until clear and not worry about the settings? It doesn't even appear to...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace: new knobs and old knobs

    Re: Falcon Menace: new knobs and old knobs Oh, okay. So the "new knobs" are not what's being manufactured, but are upgrades you can make after the fact? Weird. Maybe I don't understand the side focus thing. I'll dial up the side focus to what's clear for me, but does that automatically get...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace: new knobs and old knobs

    I just got a Menace 4-14 FFP from a fellow member that I couldn't be more thrilled about. It has the "old style" knobs on it; I didn't know there was a difference. What is the dif? Also, the side focus knob doesn't have any distances marked on it, and I can't tell where I'm lining up the...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Optics Warranty???

    Re: Falcon Optics Warranty??? Just wanted follow up on what I've uncovered about the mystery cloaking Falcon warranties. I got a response from Optics warehouse that they cover it for 12 months (weak). I asked Nick at Falcon why the discrepancy, and he said that the warranty for UK suppliers...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Optics Warranty???

    Re: Falcon Optics Warranty??? I'm sure with anything being made by humans there are bound to be imperfect individual items that come off of manufacturing lines, right? It sounds like they did right by you, correct? It sounds like most folks have been happy with their performance. So I heard...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Optics Warranty???

    Re: Falcon Optics Warranty??? Thanks Bob; well put. I was surprised at the runaround Optics Warehouse has been giving me; and so far no response from Falcon themselves. I'm buying one second hand, so I guess being a gambling man I'm going to give it a go. It's kind of a great deal, but if...
