    Too many MOA in scope base?

    People also tend to forget that a scope tube is round. When you adjust windage and elevation you're thinking box. But as you get toward the top or bottom of you elevation adjustment, you also lose some of your side to side windage adjustment. People ran into this along time ago when scoping...

    Gunsmithing Need a certified gunsmith

    Kyle, Not sure about your timeline but I would highly recommend spending a week at one of the Summer NRA Gunsmith Schools. They are all great and will give you a taste of what goes on and a look at their programs. Look up those schools and look at their fulltime GS programs. All have some...

    Gunsmithing how critical is trueing a ar15 upper receiver?

    As Chad from Longrifles stated it just removes the anodizing, something you actually don't want to do. The key to making an AR shoot is "float a good barrel." I put that in quotes because it's been stated by a couple of the top AR smiths and I've found it to be true dozens of times. Look at...

    Does anyone have expearence with shooting .270 win at long range?

    BillyGoat, indicated by the way you keep Hmmmming and wondering and questioning and what-ifing, I'd say get a .308. Yes it's not going to be the ballistic wonder round that some of the others are but it will be much easier to purchase for, load for, learn from and advance with than any other...

    GO GET 'EM...Remington 700s at Walmart for $297

    Took me over a week but I got one. Most of the Walmart's here in Oregon don't carry firearms and none do locally. I called around and found a couple of black stocked ADLs for $377. I even took a 40 minute detour on a road trip the other day to look at one and see if it would ring up as $297 but...

    How well will this pillar bedding kit work on my stock?

    No. The plastic injection molded stocks will continue to flex no matter what you do to them. Just shoot it the way it is until you can bed it into something else. A Boyds laminated Tacticool can be had for just over $100 or a B&C for around $200. Bed either of those and you'll have a gun that...

    Remington 700 long range questions

    A simple process: 1-Bed the scope base (1 piece) or lap the rings (2 piece base), 2-Bed the action to the stock (also a good time to space the floor plated down so you can magazine 5 rounds), 3- Adjust the trigger (3-4 lbs.), 4- Check the crown (if you're threading they should cover this), 5-...

    GO GET 'EM...Remington 700s at Walmart for $297

    It's probably a local Walmart closeout. I picked up my last 2 700's this way. One Walmart had them for the usual $397, another for $300 even because they were old stock. Get 'em when you see 'em.

    which barrel contour for which kind of shooting style?

    Kill, As you said, sporter contours are for lighter weight hunting barrels. Minute of deer requirements from hunting positions with few shots required. Go light. Heavier barrels are more accurate being stiffer to start and taking longer to heat up and warp. Their mass also wants to hold more...

    Gunsmithing Sealing a wood stock

    Chad, One of the old tricks with walnut stocks when glass bedding was to stiffen up the fore end with some metal under the barrel. When you're hogging out the action area for glass bedding, open up the barrel channel too (you can use aluminum pillars or just make 'pillars' of glass between the...

    Lot to Lot swing of H4350??

    A few years back Varget had a couple of wild lots, guys were getting big velocity swings. I'd imagine all powders do and with the popularity of H-4350 a lot of it is being shipped. That's why the manuals all recommend dropping back and working up when changing lots. David Tubb would test each...

    Gunsmithing Remington Action Truing Options?

    Jason, Check out metal recycling. Cherry City Metals in Salem has/gets in lots of different shapes in all the time. I found a nice piece of Stainless 1.5" id with 1/2" walls, instant action jig. You'll become a metal whore. Check out Hinnant's book. THE COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO PRECISION...

    Trouble with Remington 700

    It's double grouping, bouncing around in the stock. It needs bedded. Everyone will bitch and moan that a bedding-block stock does not need to be bedded but I do not know of a single one that I have actually seen, and that's a couple dozen, that did not get better. Why does AI bed the AW? (Yes...
