    The truth about 6.8 SPC SAAMI vs SPC-II

    Re: The truth about 6.8 SPC SAAMI vs SPC-II rsilvers I am not sure I am entirely clear what the differences are between the 6.8 SPC and the 6.8 SPC II and would appreciate your commentary or help on this (or others as well). I have a SAAMI reamer drawing of the 6.8 SPC and one purported...

    Don't try this at home...

    Re: Don't try this at home... Your offhand form looks pretty good to me - you might be surprised with practice what you can hit a longer ranges. Usually if it's an old timer that's razzing you they would now say something like "you shoot like a girl" offhand because you prop you elbow on...

    Gunsmithing Bartlein Palma Contour

    Re: Bartlein Palma Contour There is nothing wrong with using a Palma contour for a tactical build - Palma and high power shooters use it all the time for longer sustained strings of fire with no issues (example, in high power rapid sitting is 10 shots in 60 seconds then 10 more in another 60...

    Gunsmithing Built your own barrel vise and action wrench?

    Re: Built your own barrel vise and action wrench? I guess there's always the satisfaction of making something yourself, but with a Rem 700 there are a number of great Rem 700 action wrenches and barrel vices out there that are reasonably priced to the point it almost does not pay to make your...

    Gunsmithing Is .003" enough for neck expansion?

    Re: Is .003" enough for neck expansion? .003" neck clearance is generally an appropriate amount for overall 6mm neck clearance. I am a little more than curious how your barrel smith is going to ream just the neck of your chamber an additional .005" larger and keep everything true and centered.

    3 grove vs 5 groove

    Re: 3 grove vs 5 groove I am also of the opinion that the "R" canted lands are easier on the bullet jackets and since they are also not sharp on the edges, it helps avoid a potential "cut" to the bullet jacket like conventional lands might.

    3 grove vs 5 groove

    Re: 3 grove vs 5 groove I have had both 5R barrels (predominantly Bartlein) and 3 groove barrels (PacNor) and the one thing I can say with certainty is if the barrel is made well and right, they both will shoot great and give good long service. There is some merit to the 3 groove on the...

    260 Remington 120 vs 140

    Re: 260 Remington 120 vs 140 paw print As to your statement to Mike that "your an idiot". In order to be grammatically correct, it should be "you're an idiot". Perhaps it would be best if all of us stayed away from name calling.

    Re: R700 trigger adj. problem with sear engagement Assuming it's a trigger issue only, there's only so much you can do with the factory Rem 700 triggers. Don't expect it to get you to the point that you might with a fine high end trigger. The amount of sear engagement and the weight of pull...

    Gunsmithing Setting barrel back/rechamber?

    Re: Setting barrel back/rechamber? I agree with the two postings above - I have had a few barrels set back and will not have it done anymore. Most of the time they just did not seem to shoot well enough to justify the set back. With that many rounds down the tube out of that cartridge your...
