    Gunsmithing What AI Magazine do I need for a factory 700 SA

    I want to put DBM on my 700 SA and am not sure what mag to buy. There are AI and Alpha mags out there but how do I know which one will work best with my action?

    Range Report 6.5 Creedmoor

    Nice looking rig you got there. Good to see the CM doing well at distance. How big is your steel and where did you get it? Thinking something like that would work well at the range.

    Gunsmithing Extractor Style

    Thanks - the mini is .190 wide compared to .248 for the full M16. I agree pinned is better but was not sure if the difference in the width was a big deal or not.

    Gunsmithing Extractor Style

    I'm ordering a PTG bolt for a 6.5CM project and the options are either a Sako or M16 style extractor. Either one have advantage over the other?

    Gunsmithing Dri lube release?

    Never used the Remington product but I use Hornady case lube all the time. Best bedding release I've ever used...zero issues. Glad it worked out well for you.

    AI AW vs 700 style actions ...which fails more?

    Jacob's rifle was the first AW I had ever ran...smooth as silk and accurate as all get out. I have 700's & customs but some day I would really like to have an AI, just a different league IMO. Spare parts...sigh...I want to shoot it not work on it.

    Kestrel, valuable tool or waste of money?

    I bought a Kestrel 4500 w/AB and I can say it has been much easier to learn to use than I expected. I am hoping to get to the range soon to see how close my inputs are and calibrate the MV as needed. I went with the PC interface instead of the blue tooth and it works very well for me. My focus...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Really like my new 4500 w/AB and was able to get the software and profile loader to work just fine. I'm hoping to get to the range soon to see how it comes together but I with there was a way I could print out my "range card". I'm not real techy so this is in the range of most users I would...

    7mm Rem Mag reamer option pros/cons?

    I have a min SAAMI chamber that works very and I would probably recommend that you start there. One of the watchout's of longer throating is if the loaded round will fit into the mag box when you do so. If not, you end up single feeding. Chad should know the answer to this so I would ask if mag...

    260 REM or 6.5 Creedmoor

    These three points made me decide to go with the Creed when it was time for a re-barrel. I also think it is a better cartridge design.

    I bought a new GPS... Mistake?

    My friend has the 62stc from Midway and seems it seems to work very well. Kind of thinking about getting one myself.

    Hunting & Fishing Do I really need a .300 Win Mag or will .30-06 be fine?

    Either will do but shooting a rifle only a few times a year with no target shooting is not a recipe for success on shots approaching 500 yds.

    Advanced Marksmanship After recoil, crosshairs end up high and right

    I'm not large...5'10" and 175lbs...but it happens the same regardless of caliber. I have the videos and marked out my shooting mat with lines so I can track of square and straight so I think I have an idea on the 90 degree position and trigger finger. Driving the rifle through recoil is part of...

    Advanced Marksmanship After recoil, crosshairs end up high and right

    My muzzle of my rifle always goes to the left. I shoot off a bipod and start by pointing the rifle to the target and getting straight behind it. Closed eye/breathing cycle checks, dry fire checks...looks good....send it....muzzle hops to the left. SW - are you saying I need to move the but of...
