    Rem700: Which bolt know and why?

    do you have a stock Rem700? That button thing on the end of the bolt handle is utter garbage IMO. I am sure its ok for hunting, but if you try to cycle the bolt quickly it sucks. Savage and a few others have some pretty good knobs from the factory but the Rem is just plain garbage.

    Rem700: Which bolt know and why?

    Not going that route. I have a CNC mill that just got hooked up so i will be making a fixture and threading the bolt handle myself ;) .

    Rem700: Which bolt know and why?

    thanks for the heads up so far. But really I am curious as to why one would want a bigger knob vs smaller, knurled vs Smooth etc. I am leaning toward a smooth knob with a tear drop type shape, but I am not 100% sure exactly what I want. I will be threading it 5/16-24 or what ever the...

    Rem700: Which bolt know and why?

    I will start by saying I hate the factory bolt knob on the 700. I am going to thread the bolt handle on my 700 threaded for a new knob, but I am not sure which knob to get. I see PT&G has some nice offerings at pretty cheap prices which does appeal to my inner cheapskate, but they are on the...

    284 RL17 data.

    Re: 284 RL17 data. what primers were you using and what was the OAL? Also, what action is this rifle built on? I am in the process of deciding what caliber I am going to do up a savage 110 action I have and the 284win is at the top of my list. If I can get 168 or 180gr Berger hybrids up...

    280 Ackley Improved Build

    Re: 280 Ackley Improved Build Not to hijack, but what are you all running for twist rates on your 280AI's? I am going to be ordering a barrel this week and am stuck on what to get. I want to shoot some of the heavier bullets (160-180gr) for long(er) range shooting. Thoughts?

    Gunsmithing My lathe died...

    Re: My lathe died... I have blown a couple caps on my chinese lathe motor. Finally got one way over rated and its held for a bit. Eventually I want to put a 3ph 1 horse motor on it and run a VFD. I put a VFD on the mill and it was worth every penny. Especially if you have to change...

    Gunsmithing Savage Accurate Mag DBM install?

    Re: Savage Accurate Mag DBM install? yeah, just passed up a mill at an auction that was worth about $3k that sold for $1k. Was thinking I could flip it on CL for some fun money, but my wife would have killed me so I opted not to.

    Gunsmithing Savage Accurate Mag DBM install?

    Re: Savage Accurate Mag DBM install? well, if anyone cares, got the DBM installed. Need to do a little mill work on the receiver to clear the mag once I am done with another project. But other than that, its a nice, tight and clean. Had to turn the screw heads a little to make them clear...

    Gunsmithing Savage Accurate Mag DBM install?

    Re: Savage Accurate Mag DBM install? I have no stock right now, so any stock would be better. But for that matter I don't have a barrel, barrel nut, optic mount, decent trigger, optic, mag for the DBM etc. I have a feeling its going to be a sloooooow build.

    Gunsmithing Savage Accurate Mag DBM install?

    So I am starting a my first long range build on a savage 110 action. Question I have is that I just traded into an Accurate Mag DBM that came off of a Savage HS precision 338 which should be here today or tomorrow. The issue is that the mag opening in the bottom of my action is 3.715" and the...
