    Gunsmithing AICS 2.0 magazine problems

    Just picked up a aics 2.0 SA. Installed my Rem 700 SA, torqued properly in chassis. Problem is is takes a fair whack on the bottom of the magazine to get it to snap into place where it locks in. This is with aics 5 and 10 round magazines. Anyone ran into this before? Thanks

    Can light firing pin strikes cause accuracy issues??

    Remington 700, 308 cal Had a bit of a first time problem at the range. Shot five groups of five at 300 and they were crap. Three to four inches. This is a custom built .5 moa rifle at worst for the most part. Noticed the bolt closed a bit easier than usual, and had 4 primer strikes that did not...

    Scott Parker, does anyone have contact info on him? Sent an email several months ago, with no reply. Would like to have my 10-10 worked on for backup.

    Tooley Orion Action

    Looking for some information on dave Tooley's Orion Action by stiller. Does it compare to, say, surgeon, defiance, or any other of the same actions, in terms of quality, as in Not needing to be trued for a build like a remington 700? Looking for ideas on my next build. Thanks

    Maggie’s A proper conclusion to a home invasion

    By the way, the driver/planner hopes they will let her out of jail so she can say goodbye to her 3 children. So touching. Who wants to bet she's never had a job and lives off the system by breeding mo children. She also thinks she shouldn't be charged with murder.....People like her are...

    6.5 x 47 Lapua advice

    Old post but didn't see an answer to this question, which is one I was in a quandary over also. Have a few 1K matches coming up soon and have not run my 6.5x47 at IK. Is one better than the other, 140 hybrids, heavier, slower, or the lighter, faster, 130 vlds, or is it a toss up?

    Manners mini chassis vs. Aics accuracy-actual users

    Okay, it's a long shot, as we all like what we like, but is there a more popular (or most sales)manners tactical mini chassis stock?

    For you manners mini chassis users, are they as accurate as a conventionally bedded stock?

    Manners mini chassis vs. Aics accuracy-actual users

    I'm going to build me a new tactical rifle (rem 700) for dinging steel, a few matches, and just having fun. Want to put it in a chassis system. It is between these "two" stocks only, AICS, 1.5, OR a Manners T4 with a mini chassis. Of those of you that do have or has had in the past, is there...

    F T/R Competition F-Open-if you were gonna build

    Decided to go with a 6.5x47L. It was a tough decision over the 6mmBR, and 6 dasher, but the 6.5 has worked well with many shooters from what I have researched, and, I have near 2K 6.5mm bullets. Thanks for all the info and help.

    F T/R Competition F-Open-if you were gonna build

    I think after reading all the posts, and suggestions I am going with a 6mmBR or a 6.5x47. Since I'm only shooting at 600 yds I think one of them will work very good. Looking for mild recoil is also a large part of the equation. Shot with both calibers and seen them do quite well. Manners MBR...

    F T/R Competition F-Open-if you were gonna build

    Here's what I think I'm going with,, for now. Thanks for all the input. Quickoz--agree on the wind call, our range is usually filled with more than enough wind when we shoot. Already have a trued R700, so rebarrel it for a 6x47, or 6.5x47 (have around 1.5K 6.5's from my 260) (sell kreiger 260...

    F T/R Competition F-Open-if you were gonna build

    I've read where the .284 is in the growing trend,,but after shooting the 06, 308, 6.5-284 for years, my ole body is just tired of recoil. Spoke with a few at the match, did lots of looking and listening. Noticed some 6br's, and a 6-6.5x47 doing well. I'm thinking along the lines of 6br, 6.5x47...
