    700 SPS Tactical .308 ACCURACY ISSUES

    Re: 700 SPS Tactical .308 ACCURACY ISSUES Most any .308 should hold a sub inch group at 100 with the Balistic tips. While they are not the "best" for long long range according to most, they are a good bullet and have performed pretty well in every gun I've used them in... Always consistent...

    Savage 110FP action screw problem

    Re: Savage 110FP action screw problem Some cheaper hex bits have a convex nose on them, and a bit of a taper (Dodgy manufacturing). If you very carefully grind them flat so the end of the bit is square and sharp it makes a huge difference. I give them a tap to drive them in on a hex screw...

    leveling the gun & scope

    Re: leveling the gun & scope So if the gun has say 5 degrees of tilt in it because it comfortably fits me, and the scope is level to the world, then the relation ships between the scope and bore is constant. I think the bit not stated is that if you don't mount the gun consistently to your...

    Advice Needed - Savage 10-FCP Extraction Issues

    Re: Advice Needed - Savage 10-FCP Extraction Issues Like rifles the quality of the dies does matter, Lee are not the smoothest interior finish in my experience.

    AI AE Bolt face damage

    Re: AI AE Bolt face damage Sure looks like gas blow-by around the primer.... It could also be that when the bolt was made they stressed it when they broached the firing pin hole in the bolt. Loose primer pockets? Dave

    Rifle recommendation for fun/accuracy shooting

    Re: Rifle recommendation for fun/accuracy shooting There are a few AR's that will almost fit the top of your budget. With the heavier barrel I find they are quite adequate for killing sage rats at up to 250 yard, 300 if your do your part. The Mossberg MVP is less than 500 and uses AR mags...

    Used 700 value pictures added

    Re: Used 700 value At the end of the day, its still a 700 action, with a decent bolt face size.. I would expect a 2008 700 in 270 to carry 80% or better of the value of a brand new one. I'd take the tasco off , for me at least it would be a con.. Unless it was a nice tactical version. Dump...
