    Rem 700 splitting case necks all of a sudden...

    Re: Rem 700 splitting case necks all of a sudden... When you guys say the brass is possibly being "excessively worked" are you referring to the sizing changing sizes too much or too many firings on the brass?

It is bedded into a B&C Stock with Badger Bottom metal and currently has about 1400 rounds through it. This rifle has treated me awesome for not being anything special. It has performed...

    My son's birdhouse...

    He built this last year with grandpa. We took it to a scout meeting a few weeks ago so he could show it off and today we finally hung it in a tree. Went through the box of stickers and he chose that one because it was "camo" and I thought it was appropriate also.
