    Another DIY Remington 700 Bolt Knob Install (Pic Heavy)

    I see a full rifle Kryptek paintjob in your future, since you're already halfway there with the netting pattern on your stock. Excellent job for Dremel garage machining.

    Question For Lefties

    I hear what you're saying, but part of my build plan includes a GAP Templar V2 action. I don't want to spend that kind of money and then have to completely relearn shooting mechanics to accommodate it. Also, I don't really have any friends or family up here that shoot, those are all down in...

    Advanced Marksmanship Is it true??

    I don't disagree. There was a Sports Science segment on ESPN that basically discussed this topic and the point was brought up that a very small amount of wobble help keep the football on its intended arc, but a wounded duck is just that. In a bullet the wobble is so small as to be all but...

    Question For Lefties

    That's about what I figured. The trigger hand thing is just a mental hangup that I can train out, but unfortunately I can't train away the 20/50 vision in my right eye. The hilarious thing is that I'm perfectly comfortable shooting right handed with a pistol so long as I'm in a dueling stance.

    Advanced Marksmanship Is it true??

    Yep, and just like with a football the complete absence of helical spin actually hurts accuracy.

    Advanced Marksmanship Is it true??

    This isn't possible. There are a bunch of factors that go into the inherent accuracy of a bullet (actually, a weapons system), but those factors are effectively fixed. Insofar as they do change, because of heat warping or other physical phenomenon, they do not increase the inherent accuracy of a...

    Question For Lefties

    I'm planning out a rifle build in .300WM and the idea of a right bolt/left port action appeals to me because I have this thing about always keeping my firing hand near the trigger while I'm holding a rifle. Thing is, I've never shot a long action bolt gun and I'm wondering if the action is so...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    You don't necessarily have to have moisture to have oxidation. Just the presence of oxygen and sufficiently high temps will cause it. Just to confirm, there are actually orange patches on and around the weld seam?

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    Bad welds. You can tell by how the end of the can is very ragged and the appearance of oxidation in patches where the weld seam would've been. My guess is that the pressure within the baffles caused the front of the can to come apart like a too small jacket on an obese man.

    Hunting & Fishing Is the Rem 700 R5 going to be terrible for hunting?

    First, get a good sling. Or even better, have somebody with sowing skill rig a scabbard up to your pack. Second, if you honestly think it's going to be an issue, ask somebody you know with some decent sized rural property if you can do some laps around the perimeter with your rifle. 10 pounds...

    Range Report What the monkey duece..? (Something I'm kinda picking up)

    Maybe the 175s you're shooting just don't like the twist rate or the harmonics are slightly off. Is there really that huge of a difference in BC between a 168 and 175? I know the military just switched, but those R700 barrels are custom contours and custom rifling (twist and type).

    Links on the R700 5R?

    Link provided in the edit. Google is your friend, especially for a rifle manufactured by a major firearms company.

    Links on the R700 5R?

    Is that a 700 which comes with a 5R rifled barrel? EDIT: Remington 700 Milspec 5R - Sniper Central

    list of practicable calibers for shooting 1 mile...

    Both .300 WinMag and .338 Lapua are good bets. But you're not going to find anything "off the shelf" with the ammo shortage. So, you might as well build a relationship with your local reloader or DIY on your reloads.
