    Caliber choice for first time.

    Re: Caliber choice for first time. If medium game (deer) hunting is not a factor, 223 is cheaper to reload than 308. Uses less powder and lead per shot. Case size and powder loads for 243 and 308 are relatively the same. Since the circumference of the 243 throat is less than the...

    Re: remington got me! how about you.. The scope mount holes on my thirty year old ADL were off also in windage. I hope that Remington thinks that my new 5R was worth some love and attention during production.

    Unexpected markings on rem 700 5R

    Re: Unexplained markings on rem 700 5R It sort of looks digital. I'm not talking about the last four digits of the serial number on the bolt. The markings I'm describing are on the action itself. They are covered by the bolt handle when the bolt is in battery. When the bolt handle is...

    Unexpected markings on rem 700 5R

    I just picked up a Rem 700 SS 5R. Remington says that, according to the serial number, it was produced this year. In the notch in the action for the bolt handle, it has the serial number in very small characters. It also has a figure of something that looks like braille in a square box except...

    AICS stock for a Rem 700

    Re: AICS stock Where in the big state of Texas are you? I'm looking at doing the same thing. It sounds like you have a 700P. If we are close enough to each other, whoever gets one first can let the other check it out. I'm wondering if the AICS 1.5 precludes cleaning the bore from the rear...

    new barrel questions

    Re: new barrel questions Krieger will install the barrel and true the action for you. Details are on their website. And you can call them. For what they charge for the 5R rifling, I think it is worth it. But, I'm a relative newbie. The US govmint thought 5R was worth it for the M24...

    Lets ask the experts - 223 barrel shorten

    Re: Lets ask the experts - 223 barrel shorten The loss of MV will make for somewhat less revolutions per minute (RPM) on the bullet as it exits the muzzle with a shortened barrel. So, if the OP is getting adequate stabilization of the 77 gr bullet with his 24 inch barrel, it <span...
