    Prs rifles beginner/budget and if the remington 700 is worth getting off the shelf in 2024?

    CNC after heat treat costs more because it's harder to do. The tooling costs more so that's passed on in the cost. In any case the new Remarms rifles cost more than the previous Remington 700's. I see them cut costs by making the jeweling on the bolts less refined. And their tupperware stocks...

    I worked running swiss machines. Compared to manual lathes and the degree of consistency I'm not going to worry about semantics.

    For a beginner I'd be concerned about getting decent glass than the rifle. More than likely you'll change or modify the rifle as you go along. The glass is more critical and you're either happy with what you get or look for an upgrade latter on.

    My buddy's 300 WM bankruptcy era Rem 700 Long Range with our handloads. Considered the worst QC Remingtons.

    I'm surprised that in So cal 6.5 CM match ammo is hard to find. It's been twenty years since I lived there but I'd expect Turner's or one of the other stores to carry it. 1000 yard ranges aren't plentiful either. I only know of two in the LA area and one in San Diego. So a fast twist .223 would...

    I've also considered a Howa since the ones I've seen shoot well and seem to be well made. I've read reports from a well established GS that the actions are pretty much blue printed from the factory. The only issue is prefit barrels cost more because they have metric threads.

    So according to the video much tighter tolerances than within 0.005 or +/- 0.005". More like within a total of 0.0005" or less. Theoretically that would make the tolerances so tight that you could take a factory barrel from the new Remarms factory and screw it on a new Remarms 700 action and...

    Northeast Hunting

    Hunting for meat or a trophy? One nice thing about taking a young buck or doe is you'll eat good all winter. And if it's cool in your area you can hang the carcass in the garage and work on cutting and wrapping during the week after work.

    My old Remingtons shoot well even though they aren't trued. Even my 1990's era PSS shoots well, and it's exterior dimensions are off. As are it's scope mount holes. I doubt you'll have to true a new Remarms action. They finish machining after heat treat. The tolerances are supposed to be like...

    I put a new Remarms 700 ADL7mm RM in a used KRG Bravo stock. Three shot groups at 100 yards and 550 yards.

    Disappointed in Ruger American Rimfire Target

    Our shop would have sent it back to the distributor for a replacement rifle. I just did that with a Sp101 that I found that was defective.

    Leaving ammo behind

    I did a "Night Time Officer Survival" course with Ken Good and Barry Dueck before they were big names somewhere in the mid 90's. They used lower capacity paintball guns for that class. This was before I got to the "bruise like a peach" stage in life lol.

    Leaving ammo behind

    Definitely up there. One bad thing is the big capacity. Encourages spray and pray. But it is true that game has value. Pain is a great motivator not to get shot lol.

    Leaving ammo behind

    Now as far as an instructor getting so irate as to shoot someone's partially loaded mag I haven't heard of this. And I'd probably have some serious concerns of someone that did. I've trained with some pretty big names and some that should of been big names. The ones that didn't have big names...

    Leaving ammo behind

    Yes but there are ways to operate within the rules to gain good skills. The issue for me was dealing with dweebs that kept on telling me "tactical" this and "tactical" that. Guys that would piss their pants if you got a bit western with them. After getting tired of dealing with the chess club...
