Re: Rem 700 Old vs. New
Thanks for the input guys.
I have not come accross any non prefix actions for sale over here as yet but do have the option of decent C and E prefix actions.
Obviously C and E are "New" compared to some of the experiences and opinions above!
Is there really anything...
I am gathering parts for my next build and am likely to be using another Rem 700 action as the starting point.
Cost aside what are the thoughts between using a recent action vs an older action?
Is there anything in favour of an older action from a metalurgical or original machining quality...

Re: $400 budget for rimfire glass.....Which glass?
I have an SS 10x on my CZ and it's a great combination although you will need to plan your mounts carefully as the large eyepiece can tight with the CZ bolt if you need a low sight line.

Re: Loads for trg22 155gr scenar
155 Scenar, 46.5 N140, Lapua brass, CCI BR2 primer is the preferred for my TRG.
Slightly compressed loads at mag length, no pressure signs for me.
As ever, work up.

Re: rear monopod on Sako TRG
Kasey,
the hollow in the stock is actually an aluminium (crazy english spelling) tube presumably set in at the moulding stage - this may well be the reason for the slight variation in relation to the centre line.

Re: rear monopod on Sako TRG
They are custom but the good news is that it is a guy from here (well Norway) called Terje that makes them to your spec.
I'll see if still have the thread.

Re: rear monopod on Sako TRG
Mine is milled full length Kasey but only because I had access to the machine and more importantly someone I trusted to use it!
I think a 2" length of rail would sit happily on the flat portion of the stock without recourse to milling. Setting the mount screws...
Re: rear monopod on Sako TRG
Kasey we used a Loctite product - I think Loctite® Hysol® 3472 A&B
I agree my milled stock would be too complex however I believe a shorter length of flat bottomed or slightly convex rail sitting on the horizontal (see photo) portion of the stock without use of a...
Re: rear monopod on Sako TRG
Kasey - no problem using the picture if the quality is good enough.
The hole was perhaps 1/8" off from the visual centreline of the stock - just enough to make drilling a bar tricky but obviously still possible.
If you wanted an easy, repeatable "home" install...
Re: rear monopod on Sako TRG
Sorry the last pic is pretty blurry, these were just shots off my phone.
I can take clearer pics of the stock inlet etc if anyone needs them.

Re: rear monopod on Sako TRG
My apologies to Kasey - I should have posted this a while back !
I purchased the rail mounted monopod and a short rail from Kasey. The original plan was to insert a length of bar in to the round hollow in the stock and then drill and tap through the stock to...
