    Remington MSR release!!!

    Re: Shot Show 2010 If Remington needs to recoup development costs and it doesn't get covered quickly by Mil/LEO contracts, then we may see a civilianized MSR in the future. If the pentagon buys it, that may lock it down, but Remington has gotten clever in the past. (ie 700 milspec)

    My Low Budget model 700 build is done {pics}

    Re: My Low Budget model 700 build is done {pics} Nice build. I dropped my 5R into an Accuracy International Stage 2.0 which slightly improved the groupings for me. I'm going to cut the barrel to 20" as well, and I'm thinking about sending it out to ABS for a reduction in weight and M24...

    What is the purpose of a short magnum?

    Re: What is the purpose of a short magnum? Mike, You're killing me with your self proclaimed superiority. So sad. And yes, I am lonely today. I'm on duty waiting for that call that I hope never comes. I'm not a troll, but I was giving my opinion in a thread that you came in guns blazing...

    What is the purpose of a short magnum?

    Re: What is the purpose of a short magnum? Well, I see this site has it's asshole know it all pricks that feel the need to point out the 'my way or the highway' mentality. What a shame. If someone's goal is to put a .308 175 grain piece of lead down range with the most efficient and compact...

    I pulled the trigger today

    Re: I pulled the trigger today Felk, Congrats on the new stick. PittsDriver, I hear you on the wish for a tactical knob from Remington. I'm sending my MILSPEC's bolt out after the new year to get a better solution installed.

    What is the purpose of a short magnum?

    Re: What is the purpose of a short magnum? I find it hard to believe anyone is claiming a 300 WSM will make them a better hunter than a 308 or 30-06 without taking the time to become a better 'hunter'. I remember when this conversation was about the 308 vs the 30-06. LOL I wonder what the...

    Remington 5r at 1000 yards

    Re: Remington 5r at 1000 yards Seeing that you are probably shooting in NC, you are most likely shooting near sea level, higher than standard temperature for most of the year, and in high humidity. The higher than standard temperature and high relative humidity should give your ballistics a...

    What is the purpose of a short magnum?

    Re: What is the purpose of a short magnum? If there are articles about powder burn and it's effect on accuracy, then there is an engineering solution to that 'perceived' problem, whether it is reality or not. If a shorter fatter case allows for a more uniform burn, and in some instances, a...

    New Project Rifle

    Re: New Project Rifle Granted the accuracy will not be affected much at short to medium hunting ranges; however, barrel and BC staying constant, the longer range drop of from a 300 WSM cartridge is substantially less than the 308 at longer ranges to my recollection. I'm guessing this is due...

    New Project Rifle

    My last project is almost complete and has proven to be a very tight shooter. This rifle started out as a Remington 700 Milspec 5R 308 and was mounted in an Accuracy International Stage 2.0 and topped with Leupold Mk-IV base, rings, and LR/T 4.5-14x50 with M1's and TMR. After shooting her for...
