    Considering a new build

    I was considering 85 gr pills . Load data shows it will push them + 2800 fps. And yes, I've read barrel life of 8000 + rounds. 223 brass is available everywhere and with minimal charge weight you can get a fairly flat shooting and accurate rifle with no need for a brake. Lots of positives...

    Considering a new build

    I've been kicking around the idea of building a 6 mm x 45 (6mm-223) on a trued Rem 700 .223 bolt face SA. I'm thinking about a 22" Sendero contour Bartlein 8 twist. I'm leaning towards a Manners or an XLR chassis. I've read that the 6 mm x 45 can be extremely accurate out to 500-600 yards...

    Hornady 162 ELD Match BC?

    My R700 7mm-08 Rem shoots the 162 ELD-M sub 1/2 MOA out to 500 yds and rings the steel to 1200 yds. I really like that bullet Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    New style Remington 5R?

    I've found the bolt timing to be shit on many of the new 700s, including 5Rs. I purchased one last summer and the guys at the gun store had to dig through 4 rifles in the back to find one that suited me in regards to this matter. The issue seems to be worse with the stainless actions. I...

    ReMage: Criterion vs Mcgowen???

    My brother and I have both the Criterion and McGowen barrels. Both shoot excellent and clean easily. The Criterions appear to have a more refined exterior finish but the performance between the two seem about equal. I don't think you can go wrong for the money. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 Long Throat

    My 308 5R shoots 175 SMKs and TMKs extremely well. My O.A.L is 2.815". The rifle doesn't mind a long jump with these bullets and I'm sure that these aren't the only projectiles that will shoot well in the long throat R700s. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    1000 yard range day

    Lol. These are my brother's places that he has worked to find. While he doesn't own or control access to these areas, he is tight lipped about them and has sworn me to secrecy. Kind of like I protect my big buck spots. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
