    R700 300wm to 7prc advice needed..

    You are welcome to your opinion on which is the superior elk cartridge, as am I. You're wrong with your opinion. You have a reading comprehension problem, I said Hornady hasn't made their published velocities, which obviously means, they published velocities and didn't achieve them. You're...

    Not uncommon with remingtons of that era. My 7 RM sendero is the same, only difference is I used Grey jb. Actually a good shooting rifle

    R700 300wm to 7prc advice needed..

    I built a 7-08 AI with a 22" barrel to run 162's at 2800 fps. Easily done. I live in Texas, now to find a rich friend with land.

    My 7-300 PRC Project *Updated With a Couple Kills*

    Do you think I could run this in a standard magnum action with CIP length mags? I'm thinking I'd have to notch the action.

    I'm definitely a 7mm fan. It is a good choice if you're looking to reduce recoil. The rifle looks like a sendero, if so, it has a 26" barrel. Most economical would be to cut it back to that shoulder, have it crowned and rethreaded. There's definite advantages with the 7, you can run the 160...

    If you reload for the 300wm, then I'd stick with that and have a new barrel spun on. No reason to reinvent the wheel, unless you are looking to reduce recoil.

    Yeah, that's ugly. They stopped the threads short, a relief cut should fix that and allow the suppressor to seat. Would be an easy fix, but if they fucked that up, I wouldn't trust it to be concentric. Do you reload, or only shoot factory?

    R700 300wm to 7prc advice needed..

    You implied the 300 was a superior elk cartridge, it is not. That was the point of the elephant story. Hornady is full of shit on their velocity claims, it has been well documented. Thanks for the correction on the magazine, I thought since the prc case is shorter it still fit in the standard...

    Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

    I have 5 700 rifles and one built on an origin action. Does the origin do anything better than my 700's? No. Can I buy rem-age barrels if I wanted to for my remingtons? Yes. Is a shouldered prefit more accurate then an adjustable shoulder barrel ( rem-age). No. Is my origin a better action than...

    Also, what makes you think the shoulder isn't square? A relief cut isn't mandatory, some folks pride themselves on being able to thread without one.

    R700 300wm to 7prc advice needed..

    Not sure I agree with the above, but I could be wrong. The case diameter of the 7PRC is about the same as the belt diameter on the Win Mag. The 7mm is an excellent slayer of all things, no matter which cartridge it is being fired from. WDM Bell killed over 1000 elephants with the 7mm mauser (275...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    Seems like a Tract or Maven in 2.5-15 would fill your needs. The ATACR 4-16 is a superior scope though.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    The action itself has very little to do with the accuracy or precision of the platform. Accuracy lies in the barrel, the chamber and the crown. All else being equal (stock/chassis, trigger) If you take a factory savage barrel and put it on your Solus action, it will shoot no better than it did...

    Neck Turning Lube

    Add the two together, mix well and you'll have enough to pass down the remainder to your grandkids. It will lubricate and act as a cutting oil.

    Neck Turning Lube

    Are you talking for the cutting operation, or lubricant on the mandrel to prevent heat issues? For the cutting operation, Tap Majic would would great. I have made cutting fluid by mixing 1 bottle of ATF and 1 bottle of STP oil treatment, this would also work for lubricating the mandrel.

    First Remington 700 build..

    If Ohio is close enough for you: https://shortactioncustoms.com/services/action-bolt-truing/ You'll probably need to get on a schedule.

    First Remington 700 build..

    The better question is where are you finding a Solus, period. I have nothing against Aero, and I have actually wanted to pick up a Solus, but it appears they are a sinking ship. Unless there have been very recent changes, they have not been delivering products for months now. Mack Bros EVO II is...

    First Remington 700 build..

    Dissenting opinion here, with a caveat. I have several custom 700's and a custom built on an origin action. If you don't have the money on hand to drop on a custom action, barrel, chassis and trigger (realistically 3000+ dollars), there is nothing wrong with starting with the remington. You can...
