    Glass bed prep question

    If you're putting release agent on the action, why such extreme measures to degrease? I understand a need to clean the stock bc that's where you need bedding to adhere.

    Hunting & Fishing Need a good off the shelf varmint shooter!

    My new to me 700 ADL Varmint in 243 just put 5 Berger 105s into .323" at 100. I really don't like Remingtons but I wanted another 243 and I bought this one right. I'll shoot a few deer, hogs and coyotes and a prairie dog or 2 until I get bored with it.

    Hunting & Fishing Need a good off the shelf varmint shooter!

    My Remington 1:9.5 (or so) stabilizes Berger 105s at sea level 60F at 3000fps. Sure I'm approaching the limit but it works. The 243 is great for larger game too of course. Some states won't allow .223 on big game btw.

    Rifles Only/Steinert Super Chrono

    I have now had 2 Superchrono units for testing. Both had the tendency to repeat speeds. In a 10 shot string for example, I might see the velocity 2506fps 3 or 4 times. This repeated itself string after string on both units. They were returned and the most excellent dealer confirmed that...

    What are the must have features of a new short action receiver?

    I prefer integral rail and recoil. I would like robust extraction and ejection a la Winchester. Likely going Defiance on my next rifle.

    Gunsmithing Switch barrel system

    I think you're overthinking it. I have a number of rifles that I change barrels on regularly. I use an action wrench and a barrel vise. 150ft/lbs isn't necessary but doable if you must.

    Gunsmithing Bedding order.....

    I'm fine with a super anal response that would outline why one thing should be done before or after another. I like to use rubber tubing under very low tension over the receiver when I'm bedding a long heavy barreled gun. I won't do that over a wet in progress rail bedding job for example.

    Gunsmithing Bedding order.....

    Receiver (M700 SA) isn't true so I need to bed scope rail. Should I bed the receiver to the stock first and then bed the scope rail or rail first and then stock?

    What kind of accuracy could I expect from Steyr ?

    If you're unhappy with the Steyr mags, do what everybody does with a Remington....go aftermarket

    What kind of accuracy could I expect from Steyr ?

    If you haven't owned one, your opinion is considerably less valuable. They are not wo issue but were way ahead of their time (1969 ) and have by far been the most accurate factory rifles I've owned.
