    Help me age my Remington 700

    Re: Help me age my Remington 700 I have already looked at that. According to that my rifle could have been manufactured in 1932, 1954 or 1980. This is why I asked the question as to the date of my rifle. Maybe someone could enlighten me

    Can a bullet be overstabilized??

    I have a 6.5-284 with a 1-8.5 twist. I was shooting the 120 Amax and they shot pretty well but not too great. Can a bullet be overstabilized with a barrel that is too fast of a twist?

    Gunsmithing Lug Lapping question---

    Re: Lug Lapping question--- There has also been other work done to the receiver. I was just under the impression that lapping the lugs was just one more variable to eliminate in order to acheive consistant accuracy. This is my first go-round with a semi-custom rifle. The receiver is a...
