    Rem. 700 AAC-SC/FGMM/Pressure Issues?

    Make sure then chamber is good and clean and free of build up, that is usually an AR issue but worth a try. Can't be the action to the best of knowledge. Take it to a local smith and have them look at the chamber and make sure headspace is right.

    Weatherby Vanguard .270

    They are Howas, good gun, but metric which can make them harder to work on. .270 is a fine hunting round but does not have the pills to keep up with the 6.5 or 7mms at distance.

    dicks adl vs sps varmint rem 700

    I think the barreled action is the same and since you are likely replacing the stock and adding DBM, it makes sense to go that route. I would have cdi handle the stock/DBM unless you are buying chassis.

    Berger bullets.. So confused!

    Certainly, but keep in mind people have used 30-06's and every manner of surplus military rifles to kill game and protect Themselves up there. In some cases the Bullets holding together would be a good thing as far as penetration on dangerous Game. I guess I would recommend Berger hunting...

    Berger bullets.. So confused!

    Match tips kill a whole lot of game especially in a 338 not sure I would worry about it too much. You hit them where you are supposed to and they will drop especially on deer.

    Barret mrad or dta srs 338lm

    Spend the money on reloading equipment, then the .338 is not much more to shoot than anything else so long as kept all your brass.

    Newbie looking for first 308 Rifle set up

    Either is fine, I own both and like both. I started with Rems and now Prefer savages for the floating bolt head and ease of barrel changing.

    Bergara custom rifles any feedback?

    Their base prices on the Tactical Rifles seem a bit high to start with. Many smiths can build a nice and accurate rifle. I would look at APA in Georgia as well, but I am at the point where i like to be heavily involved in what I want built. I would order a custom action, the exact barrel you...

    Steyr Pro Hunter 30-06

    Man that is badly misinformed. The old 30-06 is a very capable long range round especially with modern powders and projectiles. Doubt he would be so confident as to stand 500 yards downrange to find out if it will magincally nose dive at 401 yards.

    Pros/cons of a 1/9 twist .260 Remington AR?

    My view on twist and bullet weight is that it is a safety net for bullet manufactureres. Sometimes heavy bullets shoot fine in moderate twist rifles, sometimes they don't. Buying a tight twist is just insurance. Can be hard to find for some calibers, I did a good bit of searching to find...

    Choate stock

    I prefer the choate tactical to the Medalist, I do not like the bulky bench rest forearm on the B&C. I have a new choate arriving today for my new 7mm Rem Mag I have been working on. As I have plenty of fancy stocks, I no longer see the point in the mid price points, it is either top or bottom...

    Issues with -- New Remington 700 308 target tactical VTR 5R 26" VTR

    Did they have any other heavy contoured .308s? The freedom and extra funds to buy your own stock, is the issue. You can make most any of them shoot. Plus extra funds for optics is nice. But I am not a fan of the barrel style of the vtr.

    Issues with -- New Remington 700 308 target tactical VTR 5R 26" VTR

    Great reason to get your money back and buy a 700p or savage and spend the balance on optics.

    Re: SWFA 5-20 SS HD - Question about illumination I have both in that model. For Targets and Recreational shooting I do not think it necessary and is just something else to mess up. If you are comp shooting with it or hunting I say get it. I recommend buying the scope used here and...

    Superior Tactical Rifles

    Re: Superior Tactical Rifles He built one for me, there was some aggravation getting it back but more in line with what you hear about the custom rifle business in general. I do understand why some folks are pissed though with the excuses and missed dates. The industry just needs to learn...

    stevens 200 build

    Re: stevens 200 build Had mine since Thanksgiving, not always that fast but I am happy. It is an easy process for those with the equipment. Much of that was waiting on the barrel.
