    Gunsmithing Aftermarket rifle actions? Good, bad, better?

    Re: Aftermarket rifle actions? Good, bad, better? Does anyone know where to find a .223/5.56 action with a 60 degree bolt lift. I looked at the Daniel Defense M2008 actions but, they don't make anything smaller then .308 Winchester.

    Gunsmithing Aftermarket rifle actions? Good, bad, better?

    Re: Aftermarket rifle actions? Good, bad, better? Thanks Bob! I generally don't factor in resell value in my rifles since I generally don't resell them (I've got firearms self purchased and as gifts that have been in my possession for ~30 years). My Pac-Nor rebarrel job would probably be a...

    Remington 700 5R Recoil Pad

    Re: Remington 700 5R Recoil Pad Yea, it's pretty thin isn't it. A little much off a bench IMHO. Some weight in the void in the butt stock helps too.

    Where to buy TRG-22

    Re: Where to buy TRG-22 If you are patient, watch the forums, and sale sites good deals do turn up. I was almost to the point of pulling the trigger on an SSG-3000 on the used market when I found a NIB model on-line for $500 less.

    Gunsmithing Aftermarket rifle actions? Good, bad, better?

    I have an old Remington 700P in .223 that needs to be upgraded or replaced to support changes in my shooting a decade later. About 3 years ago, I sent a brand new "cheap" gunbroker Remington 700SPS to Pac-Nor for a true and rebarrel to the 338-06AI. It then spent some quality time at McMillan...

    SSG 3000 suppressed?

    Re: SSG 3000 suppressed? The SSG is a really nice rifle. You can get really good deals on them these days too. Unfortunately, factory support in the US is very weak. I'm trying to source a second barrel myself which is commonly available in Europe but, I don't think you can even import...

    Gunsmithing .308 in a M2008 Long Action

    Re: .308 in a M2008 Long Action A factory Remington 700PSS isn't too hard on the wallet. Wring that rifle out and then build your 338LM. Or, spend a lot more and get a switch barrel rifle like a Barret MRAD or DTA SRS. Are you married to that specific receiver? Why Badger versus Defiance...
