    .223 Rem 700 SPS upgrades and Barrel replacement

    I'm confused about your caliber question because it is a 22 cal barrel. The Origin is a great starting point but if you already have the gun and ordered the barrel might as well roll with it. With a 223 most people don't seem to be burning up barrels so a quick change isn't as big of a selling...

    People chop barrels all the time do what you want.

    Can/will 223 cycle in a long action?

    It can be done but it seems like there is no situation where it would be worth the trouble unless you are stuck with that gun only. Savage used to do it but they had mags properly set up and a bolt stop that limited travel to basically make it equal to a short action.

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    I was joking for sure. Final finish doesn't clean anything it's an abrasive.

    Why would an ammo company bring that back?

    Bighorn Armory Lever Actions

    I really want a 500 S&W gun. I'd much rather have something like the Marlin SBL or GBL but it's too big for any of the conventional actions.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    His stuff was good no doubt and he made bottom metal for some oddball configurations but my opinion is that he was successful because he had customer service second to none and did installs for cheap/free. He just made it easy. I'm one of those guys that shouldn't mess around with tools too much...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    I didn't realize the factory setup was problematic it never gave me issues but I didn't shoot it much before sending it to CDI. The whole reason I did it was I wanted 10rd mags.

    Howa mini action in LSS Folder

    I bought the Brownells pistol chassis for mine and eventually want to build it as a SBR. I wanted something really compact and didn't want to spend as much as the Elf Owl chassis so when the Brownells/MDT went on sale I grabbed it.

    Rpr or Bergara lrp 2.0

    Pick the rifle you want but I'd stick to 6.5 Creedmoor. Magnum class stuff isn't great to learn on. More cost more weight more recoil.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    I disagree because the more relevant and popular the guns are the more the aftermarket will support them. In reality it was a bunch of different things but if FN had put more effort into them they could have taken more of the market which would eventually lead to more aftermarket.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    FN was always behind the ball and probably still is. I think they prioritize their other markets over civilian which I understand. They've always struggled with certain lines and the SPR was definitely one of them. Everyone knew they were quality but countless people asked them for updated...

    One piece egw scope base for howa 20 inch barrel .223

    Looks like a normal 1500 not the mini. It was a bad call for them to give the mini action the same model number. What's the bottom look like? All the mini actions I've seen have their proprietary bottom metal and magazines. If you can't figure it out call up Howa and they can tell you.

    Barrett M90

    The market is so jacked I have no idea what a good deal is anymore. I paid under $7k for both 82's that I bought and $3200 for my 99 but that was a while ago. I never did a 95 because they were so close in price to the 82. HIndsight being what it is I'd probably rather have one than my 99. I...

    Best Savage SA chassis for the money?

    Is it a short or long action? The old 110's were long actions. I always thought the Orxy Chassis is the best value but it doesn't have a folding option.

    8.6 BLK Build

    I asked them if they were ever going to build a Savage compatible Pork Sword and they said it was something they hoped to do in the future when able. I expect it in 2035

    Have any of you ever swapped a .300wm savage over to .300 Norma Mag?

    I think the factory Lapua guns were built on the Large Shank actions like the RUM guns were. I don't know anything about the Norma but guys used to argue on whether it was a good idea to build the 338 Lapua on the standard action when I hung out on the Savage Shooters forum. Definitely worth...
