    Gunsmithing Anyone ever cut into a manners carbon stock?

    Carbon doesn't cut like fiberglass. Cut into it at your own peril.

    Gunsmithing Switching barrels on a trued 700?

    You not only need to look at the thread diameter but you might run into extraction timing problems. Depends on what was done during the truing to bolt lug seats and action seat surface. Best switch barrel setup would be a custom action with Remington spec threads.

    Time to start applying centerfire logic to .22 (was just zero, now expanded to other areas)

    When I first started long range precision, moving from High Power Rifle Across the Course Matches, it was at Sac Valley shooting the Long Range Tactical Match (what the Nor-Cal matches grew from). Shot the B-27 out to 1000 yards (look at Nor-Cal's monthly matches). If you print out a PDF of a...

    Maggie’s Water Test kit question

    Don't know your brand of refrigerator but some of them are on a timer, the light just comes on every 6 months. Even if the water isn't hooked up. The manufactures are trying to sell filters like HP sells inkjet cartridges. Unless you're in Jacksonville, FL. Then that filter has been plugged for...

    Gunsmithing Benefits to rebarreling over buying a new rifle

    A lousy custom barrel is going to better than a great factory barrel. Once you've rebarreled a couple of M700s, you can't wait for your factory barrel to wear out so you can get a new one!

    Gunsmithing Filling unwanted cutouts in CF stocks

    Listen to Mr.BR, you're going to have to rough up where you want the epoxy to stick. Even dig a little notch in on the front and back so the patch will have a mechanical lock. Go to WallyMart auto section or a home center and get some fiberglass cloth and JB Weld gray. Cut up, chop, little teeny...

    Winchester Model 70. Good place to start?

    Keep the gun and scope as they are and go shoot! I have one with a chromoly barrel and it shoots sub MOA. It currently wears a 90's vintage SS10x42M and I shoot it occasionally to 1k at B-27 targets. That's key with a lower power scope, match the target to the sights. That Redfield looks like it...

    New member shopping high end precision rifle

    Old Man, I'm just following this discussion and it seems like what you're actually looking for is more of a benchrest rifle, than a tactical rifle. Much easier to shoot small groups with, off a bench, and at relatively short range. A tactical rifle is built to take more of a beating and to...

    Ruger Long Range Target Rifle

    Ruger made 20 special edition Palma rifles back in the early 90's. They were supposed to be special editions to help make the US Palma team competitive. They didn't. M77 actions are tough to bed, no real undersurface on the rear tang. Most effective bedding is tapping a new hole between the...
