    Gunsmithing UPDATE: 700 LTR w/ Seekins DBM & Alpha won't feed

    Re: 700 LTR with Seekins DBM & Alpha mags won't feed The magazine on the far right is the good one. There's not much difference from what I can tell. I did notice a difference from how the round points. In the good magazine, the round is more upright. This is a side view of the...

    Gunsmithing UPDATE: 700 LTR w/ Seekins DBM & Alpha won't feed

    Hello everyone, I have a Remington 700 LTR lefty in 308 winchester. I had it inletted for a Seekins detachable bottom metal magazine system. The gunsmith I sent it off to has a CNC machine with the specs for the Seekins system. I purchased three Alpha mag type 1 magazines. I'm using Federal...

    UPDATE: 700 LTR w/ Seekins DBM & Alpha won't feed

    Re: 700 LTR with Seekins DBM & Alpha mags won't feed Thanks for the feedback everyone. This is kind of surprising to hear about Alpha mag problems; I was under the impression that they were top quality. I may have to give AI a try. I'm putting this in the gunsmith forum as well, thanks...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 8 Leupold - Anyone Tried It?

    Re: Mark 8 Leupold - Anyone Tried It? I'm eagerly awaiting the review from CS Tactical. Between the Nightforce 5-25 that is coming out soon & the Leupold 3.5-25, I can't wait. I'm a bit perplexed why everyone is so quick to write off Leupold on the tactical market for competing with Schmidt...

    Rifle Scopes Review of the Illuminated Leupold VX-6 1-6x

    Re: Review of the Illuminated Leupold VX-6 1-6x Awesome review. I guess I jumped the gun by buying an illuminated duplex model. Can I send it into the custom shop for an upgrade or am I stuck?

    Rifle Scopes What would a NF 5-25 bring to the table?

    One of the other posts talks about a Nightforce FFP scope being offered in 5-25, but at a pretty penny ($3200 supposedly). My question is, for this price why not just stick with a Premier or spend a little more and get the S&B? From what I've read the Premier and S&B glass is the best there...

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce FFP Super Scope coming soon!

    Re: New Nightforce FFP Super Scope coming soon! Not to rain on the parade, but for that price ($3200 according to one post), why not just go with the Premier or add a little more and get a Schmidt and Bender? From what I've read (never personally witnessed though), the Premier & S&B glass...

    Lefty shooting RH guns

    Re: Lefty shooting RH guns I'm a lefty and either go lefty bolts or semi autos, I refuse to buy a right handed bolt action. I have a 700 LTR 308 lefty and a Les Baer AR10 style 308, love them both.

    Who inlets Seekins detachable mags on a 700 LTR ?

    Hello, I have a Remington 700 LTR 308 Winchester LH rifle. I purchased a Seekins Precision detachable magazine AICS short action (that I'll be running with Alpha type 1 mags), and would like to have it inletted in my rifle. When I contacted GA Precision, they said they don't have a CNC...

    Rifle Scopes mil or moa

    Re: mil or moa Mils can be used equally on the English or Metric system. It is more intuitive in Metric, since 0.1 mils = 1 cm at 100 meters, whereas 0.1 mils = 0.36" at 100 yards. Unlike MOA though, this is not rounded, it's exactly 0.36" (see my previous post about MOA). 1/4 MOA...

    Rifle Scopes mil or moa

    Re: mil or moa To be exact, 1 MOA is 1/60 of one degree. There are 360 degrees in a circle, so 1 MOA is exactly 1/21600 of a circle. At 100 yards though, it comes out roughly that 1 MOA = 1.05", so 1/4 an MOA is roughly 0.26". Here's the exact math though: 100 yards = 300 feet = 3,600...
