    Gunsmithing Old Fashioned trigger job? Rem700

    Completely agree, if you want a 1 1/2 lb trigger just buy a quality brand that is designed to operate safely in that range.

    Gunsmithing Old Fashioned trigger job? Rem700

    I have several "tuned" older style (walker) 700 triggers. Most I did myself and but others done by Dave Tooley. I set them all at 2.5 for everything and they pass the hammer test, drop test....etc. I went that way because I like the triggers and had them on all my actions. Another way (probably...

    Zak - I double checked and the barrel threads are about 1/8" longer.

    Suppressors Tightening a direct thread suppressor ?

    It is very tight when cool, maybe I'll try it when warm to see if that helps.

    Suppressors Tightening a direct thread suppressor ?

    The length of the threads on the barrel and suppressor match. I'll try some never seize and a little light oil but maybe I'm tightening it too by hand when I start. I have the same suppressor setup on other rifles with smaller diameter barrels (.750 vs .960) that do not have this issue so i'm...

    Suppressors Tightening a direct thread suppressor ?

    How tight should you tighten a direct thread suppressor on a barrel and should you put any oil/grease on the threads? Is there such a thing as too tight (assuming you "hand tighten" ? I have a 30 cal direct thread suppressor on an M24 contour barrel and it seems to tighten as I shoot it to the...

    Suppressors Crux Archangel or Elite Iron Sierra

    I have 4 direct thread Crux Archangel .30 suppressors and they are very quiet with repeatable zero's. No experience with EI. My experience with Crux customer service is not positive and for that reason I would recommend that you consider carefully.

    Coriolis Effect shooting east and west ??

    The comments on the video indicate that all things being equal bullets fired to the west will hit lower than bullets fired to the east. Maybe as much as 1 MOA in the POI between the two groups at 1000 yds?

    Coriolis Effect shooting east and west ??

    Any comments on the accuracy of the information/guidance in this video?? If sighting in and collecting data should be done going north and south, would a ballistic calculator adjust the data when shooting east and west?

    Making a 7RM shoot

    It's supposed to be 9 twist but guess it would not hurt to confirm. I expected a worn throat or crooked chamber but looked pretty good with the bore scope.

    Making a 7RM shoot

    Picked up a used R700 chambered in 7RM a while back and have not yet been able to find any load it likes. Bore scope shows the throat to be in good condition and the rifling and crown generally look good. Bedded the rifle, etc..etc... but nothing makes a difference. It's a 1.5" @ 100yd rifle...

    Gunsmithing Want trigger recommendation

    Actually had some people PM me and offer some old Remington triggers for sale at fair pricing so plan on going that way first. The Timney 510 was going to be my other choice. Thanks for all the input.

    Gunsmithing Want trigger recommendation

    Was not aware of Trigger Tech, some good comments out there but they must be fairly new to the business. Looks like Timney has a big following with many good reviews.

    Gunsmithing Want trigger recommendation

    Tired of my finicky Jewell triggers and am going to replace them. Really like the old style Remington trigger but they are getting scarce so asking for some recommendations for a brand/style that is reliable, smooth and runs well at 2.5 lbs. Thanks

    Armageddon Gear M2010 Soft Rifle Case For Half Price

    This case would be the perfect size for my suppressed rifle but is way more case than I need. Wish Armageddon offered a "basic" case for less money, their gear is top notch best in the industry.
