    Why no love for the Remington 700 Long Range?

    I'd really like to see remington get it together. Update their action and trigger. Develope a manufacturing process that dosent cut corners and puts out a quality product. I'd like to get myself a nice remington 30-06 hunting rifle. But I'm only buying one from the 80's or older. Im sure I'll...

    Why no love for the Remington 700 Long Range?

    It's a shame remington went to shit. My first rifle was a Remington 700 LSS in 243. Took my first deer with it. Bought back in 03. It's my favorite rifle do to sentimental attachment. Its by no means my most accurate rifle. Just had trigger tuned, glass bedded, and some of the inside of the...

    Remington 700 .308 PSS

    Adding DBM will not make your rifle any more accurate. The bottom line, is the ease of loading and unloading quickly worth $500. If I was at my own range shooting 300 yards for fun then I wouldn't. If you were building a rifle for competing and using in applications requiring you to load/unload...

    Do I need two 6.5 Creedmoor Rifles?

    I'd keep them both. I have way to many bolt actions. But I don't want to part with them as I do have sellers remorse and usually find my self in a situation wishing I had whatever I sold back. Shooting is a awesome sport and its even better doing it with good people. Its always nice to have a...

    Leupold.... vs

    Since your hunting with it do you want Ffp OR Sfp. For a little bit more I'd try the vortex razor LHT. It's a sfp scope. Liberty optics is where I have seen the best pricing.

    Looking for opinions

    Are you wanting to try a different brand rifle? I have two Sako rifles. Both older then I am and shoot very well. I bought a browning hells canyon long range mcmillan. Fit and finish is really nice. Haven't shot it it yet so can't comment on accuracy. I really wish I picked up a sako finn bear...

    SPS varmint 308 for $550- good option for a benchrest build?

    First custom gun I had built was on a rem 700. Built by GAP and shot just as well as my GAP guns built on defiance actions. It may not have felt as robust or cool but it did what I wanted it to. Said this many times but I regret selling that rifle. GAP will true and blueprint your action for...

    Need Bottom Metal Education

    I'd call ARC and explain what your plan is for your build with their action. They probably have had this or a similar question presented to them before and could give you some options. You can also ask your gunsmith about what your plan is and the parts you plan on using for this rifle. They...

    Rifle Scopes Going to Germany... are Zeiss/Hensoldt scopes cheaper for US citizen to purchase

    One could assume because it is a domestic good it may be cheaper. Many European countries have a vat tax on goods over a certain price range. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS and at the airport their will be an area you can present your receipt and get that money back. I did this in England. I would research...

    Winchester model 70 build?

    Not made anymore. I bet $1250 was probably when they had high stock volume and they just became discontinued. If you look towards the end of the thread:Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct? someone said they have a lead on a shop that has a few new old stock that are going for $1800.

    Winchester model 70 build?

    If you want a precision rifle on M70 this one is in classifieds. Theirs also a FN PBR for a pretty cheap price in 308. Let's you keep your first rifle in its original condition. If you want to change it up. Get a good scope and stock. Tune the trigger and eventually you can have a good...

    R700 parts list seem ok?

    Mcmillan HTG, DD Ross bottom metal, then have action trued when you rebarrel it with M24/40 Contour barrel. If you have an old style rem trigger if have that tuned up by your gunsmith as well. I had a rifle just like that. Worst gun decision I ever made was selling it.

    Rifle Scopes Decided to buy a LPVO.....need to sell a NIB Bushnell XRS 4.5-30x50.

    It's worth is made up of 2 factors. What your willing to sell it for and what someone is willing to pay for it. If you feel $1250-$1200 is what its worth then post it for that. You may get some offers you may not. Then you will be able to judge if your price is fair and if your willing to sell...

    Hunting & Fishing 7mm to much recoil

    Put a brake on it and see how you feel shooting it. Theres nothing wrong with throwing some hearing protection on before you shoot an animal. May not be the most convenient but many people do it. Since your in Europe I'd try and get a tikka in 6.5 x 55 or some other 6.5 caliber rifle that has...
