    Ruger M77 Hawkeye -vs- Remington 700 SPS

    Re: Ruger M77 Hawkeye -vs- Remington 700 SPS Pat, Here's another thought: since your primary is an (!) SPS Varmint in 300 WSM, how about getting another Remington in the same caliber but in a lighter configuration for your backup? That way, the manual of arms will remain the same regardless...

    Gunsmithing Kimber 84M accuracy problems

    Re: Kimber 84M accuracy problems Hill Country used to perform their accurizing jobs on Kimbers, but the latest word is that they won't touch them any more. Customer service at Kimber is spotty (to be kind), so trying to get them to fix the accuracy issues is likely to be a long and...

    Gunsmithing Winchester M70 follower question

    Re: Winchester M70 follower question They are definitely not the same. Can't tell you if the short mag follower would work as I've never tried it, but I'd look for a 243/7-08/308 follower and spring.
