    Gunsmithing Remington 700 338 Lapua suggestions

    Re: Remington 700 338 Lapua suggestions I used the Badger Thruster for my .338 custom on the 700 action. It works great! Really knocks down the recoil. All the mods you mentioned are good. I am not sure what the expected performance out of box is, but if they use a hammer forged barrel, the...

    Back of bolt not cut straight...

    Re: Back of bolt not cut straight... That appears to be the cocking piece you're referring to. If the rear surface is not straight, it shouldn't have any adverse effects. It is connected to the firing pin, through the shroud. If the shroud is not machined true, it will put lateral forces on...

    Bolts on Remington 700's interchangeable?

    Re: Bolts on Remington 700's interchangeable? Headspace is not the only consideration.......Rem bolt diameters are all pretty close. Make sure it fits properly. Bolt lugs can be dimensionally different. They should be measured to ensure proper clearance. Bolt nose length and diameter also...

    Planning a 308 build- need help with the parts..

    Re: Planning a 308 build- need help with the parts.. It appears you have this pretty well thought out for what you want to accomplish. Stick with the LA, although it has potentially more flex, a good bedding job will support that. It will probably serve you better than modifying mags to fit...

    Gunsmithing Lapping Lugs?

    Re: Lapping Lugs? Lapping ensures a full mating surface. But use caution.....if you lap too much you will alter the head space. Before you do anything, though, look at the locking lugs on tehbolt to see what kind of contact you have.

    Gunsmithing recoil lug recess

    Re: recoil lug recess Make sure there's no gap between teh bottom of the receiver and the bedding block (some recoil lugs are longer than the groove is deep) and bed the recoil lug...as CAMO said.

    338lm build

    Re: 338lm build There are a lot of good actions out there. I'm just finishing a 338LM build on the Rem 700. Before I started, I had a lengthy discussion with their Custom Shop, and decided to go ahead with it. I'm just finishing up th cosmetics, but it shoots great with the 700, PT&G Bolt...

    What's next after new stock? rebarrel or blueprint

    Re: What's next after new stock? rebarrel or blueprint You're kind of in the chicken and egg thing! If the action is too far out, you may not realize the potential of a match grade barrel. Generally, you can expect to pay $500-$600 for a barrel and machine work (chambering, threading, and...

    Federal Standard 300wm Accuracy?

    Re: Federal Standard 300wm Accuracy? Did you get a target or baseline report from Krieger to show its capabilities after it was put together....and the ammo they used? Did they test with the stock, or just the barreled action. That can give you a place to start

    6.5x47 Lapua 123gr Scenar SJ

    Re: 6.5x47 Lapua 123gr Scenar SJ I apologize for not being more thorough. I understand the4 moly I leant was there a noticeable/measurable difference in performance. Lapua doesn't use it in their own ammo,so there are no ballistic tables from tehm for comparison...Sorry

    6.5x47 Lapua 123gr Scenar SJ

    Does anyone have any experience with the Lapua 123gr Scenar Silver Jacket bullets? The BC is identical to the copper jacket. they apparently don't load it in their own ammo, but do offer it as a component. Also identified as a GB489 (same as the copper jacket)....and more expensive.

    budget build/buy $1k for LR shooting?

    Re: budget build/buy $1k for LR shooting? If you have the skills, and want to start with a new 700, I'd suggest you buy the cheapest one you can find. Start with blueprinting the action, and add your barrel of choice. Also, with 800+, look at a 300WM....something that's capable of reaching...
