    Hunting & Fishing Gonna buy a hunting rifle for my daughter.

    So, she had a Savage Hog Hunter but complained that it was too heavy. I think it was just nose heavy. She isn't particular, it just needs to be threaded and in .223 Remingon. Funds are an issue right now, I'd like to keep the price at $400 or less. So, I've narrowed things down to the...

    Gunsmithing Trigger Upgrade for Rem 700

    Thanks for the input. I'm kinda surprised that there is no love for the Geissele Two Stage

    Gunsmithing Trigger Upgrade for Rem 700

    I’m looking for a solid two stage trigger. The Geissele looks nice and I don’t mind spending the money (though I’ll have to save a bit for that one). What do have, why did you choose it and are you happy with it. Also , can it be installed safely and easily by the owner. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Replacing a Remington Bolt Handle. Going from tactical back to original.

    How hard is this to do? I've got a deal on a barreled action but I want to drop it into an m40 stock so the aftermarket knob has to go. Thanks, Paul

    Thanks for the input. I’m thinking about getting one of the 5r barreled actions from Euro Optic and the M40 BC stock. But I would like to go back to an original profile bolt knob. Is this a big deal?

    Switch barrel: long action, short action, will this work?

    Ok I've got a question. If I understand the Remington/Tikka conversations, they are altered to rebarrel like a Savage with a barrel nut correct? And that means, like a Savage, I can control the headspace, right? It seems to me that Tikka would be a strong candidate for a host since they only...

    Hunting & Fishing Would like some opinions on a hunting rifle.

    A 30/30 would do it I’m sure. And I thought about that threaded lever gun, tactical looking thing. But I couldn’t pull the trigger on it.

    Hunting & Fishing Would like some opinions on a hunting rifle.

    I thought about that but I understand that there are issues with .308 semiautomatics and suppression. I don’t think I mentioned that but I need to run a can too.

    Hunting & Fishing Would like some opinions on a hunting rifle.

    Gentlemen, Thanks so much for the input, I'm really glad I put this up for discussion. I've bounced back and forth between the scout type rifles to some relatively light precision rifles like a Steyr SSG 69 or the M40 or M40a1'ish. So in exploring the scout platform, I started looking...

    Ha! I guess that’s important. I need to top out at $1700 (rifle, glass, rings). I can pick up the stock later.

    Can’t afford a copy or a clone but ....

    I would like to build something similar to a M40 or M40 a1. I’m thinking that the best stock to use is the B&C M40 stock and go with a M40 a1 type. Perhaps a USO ST10 or a Leupold MK4 10x. Rings and base, the Leupold dovetail. For a M40 I’m not sure about a stock source. Badger makes...

    Hunting & Fishing Would like some opinions on a hunting rifle.

    Ok, so I'm looking for a walk-about, hunting, truck gun. Bolt action. I live in Alabama. We have deer, pigs, coyote, bobcat, etc. There have been 350 plus pound hogs killed on our family land. Caliber .308 (I have a tremendous amount of reloading supplies for .308 and it will work nicely on...

    FS: RRA 20" Service Rifle take off barrel.
