    AICS ergonomics stink.....back to a traditional stock:manners,mcmillain?

    Hi Nexus , i had eyed their chassis , seems like they nickel and dime you on upgrades though. I do like how the grip is swept back . But i dunno, i just don't see myself going with a chassis for this gun. Every time i go back to my old B and C stock i'm like ....ahhhhhh . So much more...

    Thanks Hesco, that's my issue , i haven't had a chance to fondle either. I've seen em, but not been behind em. Are you going to pillar bed the MCM?

    AICS ergonomics stink.....back to a traditional stock:manners,mcmillain?

    Hi Guys I have my remmy 700 in an AICS 2.0 stock right now. I wasn't thrilled with the thumb hole so i got viper skins. Well....i'm not really into the grip angle and how I fit the gun so i'm going back to a more traditional stock. I'm not into the chassis thing right now as i don't care...

    To Chamfer or NOT to Chamfer after using World's Finest Trimmer

    By the way everyone , i ended up chamfering and deburring. My rounds seated alright but there was far too much of a thunk when they did and it just didn't feel right. So post chamfer and deburr it's running smooth as glass. 24 gr of IMR 4895 COAL 2.200 55 gr Hornady BTFMJ Seems to run my...

    To Chamfer or NOT to Chamfer after using World's Finest Trimmer

    Awesome ! That is some great info, and using the lathe to chuck it up in is brilliant . I'm going to check all that out. When i reload for precision , i chamfer , deburr, uniform the flash hole, primer pocket , check and correct concentricity i'm almost at the meplat trimming stage. I don't want...

    To Chamfer or NOT to Chamfer after using World's Finest Trimmer

    Thanks guys , BUbba . I'm going with you on this one. I'm not worried about concentricity or even accuracy less then 1 moa. it's very rare that a stage will require anything more then a 100 yard engagement. Maybe 200 rarely. In major matches i'd use my more lovingly crafted 69 gr rounds for 200+...

    To Chamfer or NOT to Chamfer after using World's Finest Trimmer

    Hi guys I reload a ton of 223 for 3 gun ( not precision reloading , out of a gas gun, mostly going to be shot at 100 yards and in ...mostly ) I load a couple different pills. 55 gr Hornady BT and the 69 gr nosler HPBT. The trim on the WFT is really nice , not too ragged and i don't feel...

    243 Win for Precision .......

    Great post Niles. I'm not exactly sure if it's a 1 in 10 , but i know the rifle was bought in the late 70s early 80s and the barrel is 23" long. I have no problem running the 95 berger or SMK , i've had great luck with both. I have to check out the barrel stamping , hopefully it mentions it, but...

    243 Win for Precision .......

    Hi there Cobra , My experience is probably intermediate . I've taken classes on the usual . I've been reloading my own rifle ammo for 3 years . Reloading all other calibers for 2 years . I"m fascinated by ballistics . I haven't made the jump to competitive shooting for precision yet , but i...

    243 Win for Precision .......

    I'm not as concerned with the shorter barrel life, i'd be more into what was a better performing cartridge if i decide to rebarrel . This gun does have a 1 in 10 twist and a 23" barrel. I'll be loading the 95 gr berger vld , as mentioned above. I love the 175 gr berger VLD and 168 gr Berger...

    243 Win for Precision .......

    Hi Everyone I"m not new to precision reloading , but i just inherited my father's old remmy 700 in 243 . Dropped it into and old B&C stock that i had and i'm wondering if i should pursue the caliber as a precision gun. I know it was more classically a varmint / occasional deer gun , and...

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    I've had the chance to try out the AI stock before and i dug it. Mind you I haven't had serious time behind it to really see how it feels after a couple hours of prone shooting. Unfortunately there isn't a great long range near me yet. Once i being built a little south of me but isn't quite...

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    I really do like the wiskey 3 chassis but after getting an email from KRG they're at 4-5 month lead time on delivering chassis . So at least for now it's going to be the AI . It'll give me ample chance to run it through its paces and see if its for me . Does anyone know the weight difference...

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    Very cool about your chassis . What are you basing it on? any inspirations ? Right now i'm running a harris notch swivel the lowest i believe . I think eventually i'll go atlas , but i have other things to spend money on before then. Prob viper skins. But so far i like the TH on the ai. A...

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    rth1800 I couldn't see lugging this rifle around the forrest , or in my case the swamp. It was a beast and heavy before , long heavy varm barrel. I'd go a totally dif route for a hunting / tactical gun. 20" barrel, lighter stock, aluminum components instead of steel. This rifle will be...
