    Remington Model 7 detachable mag.

    700 bottom metal won't work. I spoke to Dave Kiff @ PT&G about this some time ago and he said a M7 bottom metal for AICS mags might be offered in the future. I sold my M7 so I haven't followed up on that

    Rifle Scopes Warranty service available for older Leupold/Stevens M3A scopes?

    I would call leupold with the sn. The early ultra models prior to a certain sn were government contract and while legal for you to own, were permanently sealed and are not serviceable.

    Winchester Model 70, whats wrong with them?

    PT&G does have a stealth bm for M70 in the works. The website says July. I recently spoke to Dave Kiff and he said July may be optimistic but hopes they're available by end of August. Kevin

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 1-4x Reticle... Ease of use?

    The moa reticle is very quick to use up close and I have shot 12" plates out to 600 yards. 4x ain't ideal at that distance but it is doable on torso sized targets.

    6.5x55 tactical rifle

    It's one of my favorite calibers. I have had 2 hunting rifles that shot great. Last summer I had a Rem 700la with a Bartlein med palma barrel built for my son. It is a sub 1/2 moa shooter with 139 scenars. Yesterday his 4 shot group at 1100 had about 6 inches of verticle. Kevin

    Re: 6 BR in a CRF M70 My action is actually an FN SPR as well. What mags did you use, 223 or 308?

    6 BR in a CRF M70

    Re: 6 BR in a CRF M70 I tried 6mmbr.com first and didn't get any replies yet. I'm wondering about the m70 wssm mag box. Does anybody know the inside dimensions of that one? Thanks for your help.

    6 BR in a CRF M70

    Has anybody built a 6 BE on a Win or FN CRF M70 short action? If so, will it feed from the factory internal magazine box? If not what miss were required?

    Best 6.5 all around projectile?

    Re: Best 6.5 all around projectile? If you have an 8.5 or faster twist, I would recommend Barnes Triple shocks, Accubonds, Partitions or SST's for hunting. Anything from 125 to 140 grains will work fine for deer. I like to use hunting bullets for game and target bullets for paper or steel. I...

    AICS mags for 6.5x55

    Re: AICS mags for 6.5x55 I will be using a long action and assumed that I would have to use 300 AM mags. Is it hard to get them to run reliably. Thanks for your help. Kevin

    Would like to hear from anyone that has modified aics mags for a standard caliber, specifically 6.5x55. What is involved and how did it turn out? Thanks, Kevin Hallmark

    How about the Win Model 70 Extreme Weather?

    Re: How about the Win Model 70 Extreme Weather? They are nice rifles. The only one I am personally familiar with was a 270 WSM. If you let the barrel completely cool between shots you could expect 1 - 1 1/2" 3 shot groups. Otherwise it was 3-5" vertically strung groups which we attributed to...

    Rifle Scopes Luepold MK4 upgrade turret and reticle

    Re: Luepold MK4 upgrade turret and reticle According to the technician I spoke to last week, mildot or TMR reticle is $159.99. The M1 knobs are $59.99 each I believe, but the M5 (0.1 mil) knobs can only be installed on the FFP scopes.

    Rifle Scopes Optic to get 308 to 1000k on 0 MOA base

    Re: Optic to get 308 to 1000k on 0 MOA base Just my opinion, but I would be more concerned about too much magnification on the low end in an LE scope.
