    REM 700 SA prefit action?

    Weatherby 307 builders action. Thread pitch is same as remington. They get decent reviews. The only real knock on them is they use savage scope rails but that isn't really an issue. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/712026549/wby+307+builders+action+short+standard+black

    REM 700 6.5CM help

    I'd go with a sendero contour barrel, unless you really like heavy rifles. There are several "remage" barrel makers. Criterion was already mentioned, shilen, x caliber and preferred barrels all make them. Simple tools and a go gage. Keep in mind, depending on how you shoot your rifle (pace) a...

    Rifle crown condition

    I get it, but I'd hate to see you pay for the recrowning, just to discover there are other issues. Those rifles tend to be suprisingly accurate.

    Rifle crown condition

    Personally, I would replace the barrel. If it is that pitted on the crown, I would think the rest of the barrel is jacked as well. If you have the tools to change an AR barrel, you have the tools to change the RPR, they use the same tools. You can buy a pre chambered shaw 10 twist stainless...

    How to remove weight from a foundation Samson

    You could likely sell it with minimal loss. Sometimes you buy the wrong shit, it happens. Why keep something you clearly don't like?

    Energy has very little to do with it. Shot placement and penetration are what kills animals. The fact that you argue otherwise proves you're an idiot.

    What empirical data do you have that a 30 cal 215 is more effective than a 7mm 180?

    R700 300wm to 7prc advice needed..

    My Dad took two elk with the 6.5x55. A 6.5 CM will do it, but bullet selection is paramount. Some folks have taken elk with a 5.56 mk 262 load, and several use the 6.8 SPC. I certainly wouldn't recommend either of those, it just goes to prove the point that placement trumps horsepower. Countless...

    Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

    Poorly written on my part, I have 5 rifles built on 700 actions and 1 rifle built on an origin action. Didn't think it would be that hard to understand.

    You are welcome to your opinion on which is the superior elk cartridge, as am I. You're wrong with your opinion. You have a reading comprehension problem, I said Hornady hasn't made their published velocities, which obviously means, they published velocities and didn't achieve them. You're...

    Not uncommon with remingtons of that era. My 7 RM sendero is the same, only difference is I used Grey jb. Actually a good shooting rifle

    I built a 7-08 AI with a 22" barrel to run 162's at 2800 fps. Easily done. I live in Texas, now to find a rich friend with land.

    My 7-300 PRC Project *Updated With a Couple Kills*

    Do you think I could run this in a standard magnum action with CIP length mags? I'm thinking I'd have to notch the action.

    R700 300wm to 7prc advice needed..

    I'm definitely a 7mm fan. It is a good choice if you're looking to reduce recoil. The rifle looks like a sendero, if so, it has a 26" barrel. Most economical would be to cut it back to that shoulder, have it crowned and rethreaded. There's definite advantages with the 7, you can run the 160...

    If you reload for the 300wm, then I'd stick with that and have a new barrel spun on. No reason to reinvent the wheel, unless you are looking to reduce recoil.

    R700 300wm to 7prc advice needed..

    Yeah, that's ugly. They stopped the threads short, a relief cut should fix that and allow the suppressor to seat. Would be an easy fix, but if they fucked that up, I wouldn't trust it to be concentric. Do you reload, or only shoot factory?

    You implied the 300 was a superior elk cartridge, it is not. That was the point of the elephant story. Hornady is full of shit on their velocity claims, it has been well documented. Thanks for the correction on the magazine, I thought since the prc case is shorter it still fit in the standard...

    Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

    I have 5 700 rifles and one built on an origin action. Does the origin do anything better than my 700's? No. Can I buy rem-age barrels if I wanted to for my remingtons? Yes. Is a shouldered prefit more accurate then an adjustable shoulder barrel ( rem-age). No. Is my origin a better action than...
