    I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )

    I don't know your level of experience, but with that budget I'd recommend a Rem 700 varmint or SPS tactical or a savage heavy barrel variant. They can be had cheap and there are a ton of parts out there to upgrade with.

    6.5 Creedmoor browning x-bolt speed tight chamber.

    I had a new X-Bolt in 30-06 that had the same issue and also most brass cased ammo was hard to extract, nickel cased ammo was a little better. Some cases had to be "tapped /ramrodded" out I ended up sending it back to Browning for repair, but they did not disclose what actually was discovered.

    Shooting 308 off a Bench

    When shooting off my homemade solid sand bags I prep the bag (almost like fluffing a pillow), then I make an indentation in the bag with the side of my hand to frorm a channel for the stock to ride in. Also make sure that the sling swivels can freely move without snagging on the bag when the...

    Remington 700 AAC 308

    Can't comment on the glass that you are asking about, but mine is has the Vortex Pro series 1'' rings and a clearance priced Nikon P-Tactical scope inside of an ebay HS Precision takeoff stock. This was a super low budget set up and it shoots a variety of ammo well; my favorite target load is a...

    New Remington 700 LTR

    I see, Nightforce has a solid reputation and I don't see you regretting this purchase at all. Personally I like HS precision stocks, but I am a fudd (I don't require the latest aerospace grade equipment). I prefer a traditionally styled rigid stock with a bedding block, this stock checked all...

    New Remington 700 LTR

    In my opinion you have a solid stock/rifle set up as is, (I too have the same rifle and am located in S.Ga.). Though I have handled many chassis rifles/set ups, but I don't have any long term feedback to give so I'll let the more qualified members lead you. My advise would be to buy good glass...

    Different types of hunting rifle setups? Tell me about yours!

    My go to here the last two seasons is a 20" .308 win SPS tactical in an HS Precision stock with a Nikon MOA reticle scope that I caught on clearance. The rifle is short carries well and shoots 168 SMKs, A-Maxes like a laser, I'm supremely confident in this combo. My Bergara Ridge30-06 is a...

    30-06 target/hunting rifle

    I have a Bergara ridge in 30-06. It fit my needs, it has a slightly thinner than varmit profile barrel and shoots well. I was considering building a similar rifle, but decided to try that as a cheaper alternative to experiment with. I'm happy with it so far.

    Winchester M70 reloading

    I hope you enjoy it, nothing like getting a load worked up and it shooting well to pay off for your hard work. Enjoy, one of these rifles is on my list too one day.

    Winchester M70 reloading

    In my Rem 700 30-06 a 175 gr SMK and 56.5 gr of IMR 4831 shoot well, not what you asked for but could possibly help.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1 3/4” shells in 870?

    i work in corrections, and we use 870s. Thr 1 3/4 feed fine in ours as one of our less lethal munitions.

    Hunting & Fishing Use handed down 700, or buy new T3X for CO elk hunt?

    Thanks, and the same to you.

    Hunting & Fishing Use handed down 700, or buy new T3X for CO elk hunt?

    I vote to shoot it and enjoy it. I received the same rifle/caliber from my uncle due to one of my other uncles passing away when I was a teen. I hunted with the rifle exclusively until becoming an adult and purchasing something else to "preserve" the 700 and it sat in the safe. Then one day...

    Noob needs help on a new bolt action rifle

    The Savage would be my pick off of your list due to the budget. The Ruger is a good shooter too (I owned one) , I just prefer a heavier barrel. Although a lot of people despise them (Savage), they are hard to beat for the price. But as said above there is not a very good return on them if you...
