Just a plug for Paul. I just got my Rem Mod 7 bolt back from him this week, Awesome work, Ya'll give him a call if you need bolt work done or anything else as far as that goes. I am building my daughter a little rifle in the new 7.62 VIPER Cartridge on a Model 7. He fluted the bolt with his new...

Buy you some (Lilly 225 Mold Release) in a gallon can and a tall ammo can and fill it up and dip your barreled action in it and it will dry real fast just as soon as you lift it out of the can without runs plus it cleans up easy. The good thing about this process is that you cant miss a spot...

That's the good thing about living in America boys, we all get to have our opinions. Tikka, Savage, Weatherby, Howa, Remington, Winchester, FN, Savage whatever; Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Toyota whatever again. We have choices. The bottom line is they didn't show up for the race. Remington did and...

Man this post really shook the hornets nest. Isn't it funny. Like they saying goes "even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while". There is nothing wrong with your acorn, I like Tikka rifles too. I just don't have any customers bringing them to the shop asking for complete rebuilds...

The Remington M40 series was selected because it won the contract at the time, plain and simple, it just won. The clip slot on the 40x competition rifle didn't hurt either and someone said Hummmm! Wonder if we had a mount that would fit in this slot would it provide a more stable platform for...

All the mentioned actions can be trued and turned into good shooters and everyone has their favorites but it is hard to argue with the facts. The majority of all tactical bolt guns are Rem 700 for a reason and that is because they have been tested and proven thru the years in competition and...

Amen to that Cruizer! Shot placement capability should be first cause all these calibers suggested would work if they hit the right spot. I built my niece a 260 AI on a 700 action when she was 15 and we went to Africa on a plains game hunt and the PH, guide and trackers made fun of the rifle and...

From what you wrote I am believing that you bought a pre chambered 280AI barrel so if that is the case and you didn't specify a length on your throat then it should come to you as a SAAMI spec chamber. Seat the bullet that you want to shoot at the depth that you want it loaded provided that it...

What he ^ said. Plus I built a bunch of M40A1 and A3's at Quantico and never saw one without a gap. NEVER! If you lapped them you wont make them right; you will make them wrong. We used feeler gauges to even out the gap for looks but the purpose of the gap is to have space to create tension on...

Yes it is a hot load, but a Ruger no.1 and most Bolt guns can take just about anything out there. I believe the Max load in the Sierra manual is around 56 or 57 grains of R-22. A case that has more air space is more dangerous than one that is full, besides a 223/5.56 is running in the low 60,000...

An ADL mag box is deeper from top to bottom and has a tab with a hole in it at the back of the box for a screw to attach the box to the receiver. The BDL box is shorter from top to bottom without a tab. The BDL box doesn't require a screw because the bottom metal holds the box in place and it is...

Conventional rifling..... Once a rifle has been given a name/NSN/model number and you change one thing then it has to be re named and the build procedures get re written or modified and all this takes an act of congress. That's why they are up to the (M40A594564534121XYZ-Charlie) or something...

I took a 257 Weatherby that I built on a Rem 700 to Namibia Africa for a plains game hunt in 2006 and loaded the Barnes XLC 100gr BTHP with 7828 and Fed Match mag primers, it shot one ragged hole all day long. The biggest issue with loading for a factory chambered Weatherby is that the free bore...

25-06 Loads Just finished some today for my Ruger NO.1 heavy barrel.... Win brass, Fed 210 Match primer, Nosler 100g Ballistic tip, 62 grains of Reloader 22, .005 off of lands. No pressure signs.*****compressed load. HOT HOT Load.

Don't forget about Schneider Barrels. He does have the Marine Corps contract and many Federal agencies, not to mention David Tubb who has set many world records and the list goes on and on. Plus we all know that all the other branches of service hate to see the Marine Corps Shooting Team come to...
