    20" 243 vs 20" 6.5 Creedmore

    I'm looking to rebarrel a 700 this winter and want to stay with a 20" barrel. I have it broken down to these 2 calibers, I don't need them to shoot 1000 yards, mainly 600 yards and closer. Is there really going to be big difference or is this going to be a preference build?

    My POS cobble-together budget Salvage is complete!

    Re: My POS cobble-together budget Salvage is complete! Nice, I've been thinking about a similar build. Cutting a 26" 223 barrel down to 22" and rechambering it to an AI. I was wanting 75 amaxes at 2900, looks pretty doable. I have a bunch of Savage left overs so its not going to cost anything.

    Rem 700 xcr tlr 300 win mag problems need help!!!!

    Re: Rem 700 xcr tlr 300 win mag problems need help!!!! I went and shot mine last weekend and noticed the reloads with nickel plated brass was hard to eject, the factory normal brass was fine. It really didn't impress me for accuracy but I wasn't looking for that yet, it wasn't horrible at...

    Re: Truing 700 XCR Tactical Action Cool, thanks guys, I didn't think it would really be an issue but figured I'd ask before I got too far into it.

    Truing 700 XCR Tactical Action

    So I bought this rifle with the intention of rebarreling it at some point. It has Remington's version of melonite on it which I thought was a coating not a treatment, now ib wonder is the reciever able to be trued or is it too hard? And on the other hand is the reciever already correct from the...

    Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review

    Re: Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review I guess mine got overlooked for the action screws, not really a big deal, I had some screws that worked just fine. Here's a pic, it needs a real bipod and I'm finally going to break down and buy a good scope. I love it so far, I'll have a mag or...

    Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review

    Re: Drake Associates Stalker Gen2 Video Review I just got my strike 33 this morning and it definitely looks good. I didn't have much time to mess with it before work though. The one thing I didn't see in the box was action screws, am I supposed to use the ones from the donor rifle or did I...

    700 XCR Long Range 300 Win

    I'm picking one up in the next day or two and was wondering where start with loading, what bullets work still in these and what powders? It's going into a Drake/Cadex chassis that UPS is delivering in the next couple days also. Thanks

    Sako M10 vs Remington MSR

    Re: Sako M10 vs Remington MSR The MSR isn't the standard Remington 700 action, its a whole new action. It has a 60 degree lift also. These pics really don't show all the similarities but the rifles are very similar overall, including they will supposedly be sold to civilians.

    Sako M10 vs Remington MSR

    Is it just me or does it look like these 2 rifles share the same action? Or at least one is a copy of the other maybe.

    Bighorn Action Bolt Lift

    Can anybody comment on the force on the bolt lift on a Bighorn? Since its a cross between a 700 and Savage is it easier like a 700 or a little harder like a Savage?

    308 Based Cartridge in AI Long Mag?

    How does that work? Do I just get a 300WM mag and load the 308 in it or is there a special mag for it? I'm thinking about a Cadex Chassis from Drake and while I don't want a 338 Lupua now I might later and don't want to buy the stock twice, so i was thinking about just doing a 260 or 7/08 for now.

    M1A vs 308 AR

    Re: M1A vs 308 AR I guess what I'm curious about is why is a M1A with a NM barrel going to be drastically more accurate than the normal barrel? And by the time its done I'll have about $3000 in it. It seems the M1 guys think so highly of them it made me wonder if they were any better than the...

    M1A vs 308 AR

    So i find myself liking the M1A with a Sage EBR stock and think I want to build one. But what am I going to get besides the cool factor over a 308 based AR? But really what more do you need than cool factor?

    Suppressors Brake Attached Can

    I want a brake attached can for multiple rifles so I'm looking at the Thunder Beast 338BA or a Surefire 30 cal. I don't have a 338 and don't really plan to but the TBAC and Surefire is about the same price so why not get the bigger one. I'm mainly curious about do they stay tight and accuracy...

    Headspacing AR

    Re: Headspacing AR Let me rephrase this, should I have a bolt fitted to the barrel/extension?

    Headspacing AR

    So all the AR's I have built I never really worried about checking/setting the headspace, afterall they haven't really been precision guns. I ordered a Maten from the group buy and when it gets here I would like it to be more of a precision gun. Do I need to have the bolt and barrel headspaced...
