    Best barrel length for .260

    Re: Best barrel length for .260 Not that this is new on this site but I wanted to comment really quick prior to adding my 2 cents of 260 experience.... it is nice to see shooters weighing the real life pros & cons with barrel configurations rather than going with the heaviest & longest pipe...

    Awesome Duracoat Results, Help me decide next step

    Re: Awesome Duracoat Results, Help me decide next If it were my rifle I would coat the metal work & scope in a flat black oxide tone & then matte clear everything to finish it off. The black will keep it very clean looking & the stock camo will look even better. I never say things to...

    Range Report. REM700

    Re: Range Report. REM700 Kentactic, Great group & sharp looking rifle. Is this a straight from the box factory setup or have you modded anything like trigger? I can't tell from the pic, what scope is that?? The Rem700's are a blast & great bang for the buck! The vast majority of my rifle...

    Just Ordered First Custom GAP

    Re: Just Ordered First Custom GAP Sounds like a nice custom coming your way. I also have (2) PST083 & I like them a lot. The HSP thumbhole stocks in standard LOP fit me really well as if they were designed specifically for me. Make damn sure to post a few pics after you take delivery.

    Most cost effecive rifle build.. Choices:

    Re: Most cost effecive rifle build.. Choices: Stainless SPS's with 24" pipes are going for $499 @ Cabela's right now with $75 mail-in rebates. Not a bad base price to get a Stainless 700 example. Depart with the stock, bottom metal & bbl & you could walk away with a 700 stainless for under...

    Most cost effecive rifle build.. Choices:

    Re: Most cost effecive rifle build.. Choices: Trying to sell an SPS factory stock will cost you more in time than you can ever hope to gain in sales dollars. They don't fetch much for a good reason.... they suck!! $40 is steep in my opinion & that is about all I have ever fetched on GreedBay!

    Sako TRG 22 Dark earth and Leupold 8.5 x 25 good ?

    Re: Sako TRG 22 Dark earth and Leupold 8.5 x 25 good ? That is a great setup, both rifle & optics. No reason to "upgrade" to anything else as far as scope goes. The MK4 8.5-25 are great glass and will go great with the TRG. I have several MK4 8.5-25X's & they function very well for me...

    Cheaper to build?

    Re: Cheaper to build? I have built several rifles using Rem 700's in SA & LA in the past few years. I do a lot of cost calculating ever time I build one & for me it has always came out pretty close price wise when all said & done. It is always a hell of a lot quicker/easier to just go...

    Re: Best 243 brass - USA made - WW or FC? LAPUA brass has the ability to dramatically increase the following of almost any caliber if that tells you anything. Okay, to be fair it has the reputation & has proven itself time & time again to increase the following of "what's hot" in whatever...

    importance of good bottom metal Rem700 build

    Hey everyone,ww I have always been curious of others opinions on the overall importance of good aftermarket bottom metal on a Rem700 repeater build.
