    308 155 Scenar Load Question

    Re: 308 155 Scenar Load Question I'm running the scenars .005 off the lands, ncboiler is running them at least .090 off the lands. They are very tolerant to jump. Back them off and sneak back up on it.

    Gunsmithing Correcting Headspace on a Rem 700

    Re: Correcting Headspace on a Rem 700 REM308, I'm guessing your rifle was chambered a bit on the loose side.. The measurement from your brass equals what a field gauge would be.. You have to remember that a commercial rifle that has to shoot all kinds of commercial ammo can't have a minimum...

    Re: 7 WSM or 338 Edge LRH rifle? Jeff, Thanks. That's a lot of good info there. I'm doing the same thing as you in regards to owning the reamer and chambering multiple barrels at the same time, only difference is I'm going to try melonite to slow the throat erosion.. Hope it helps.

    Manners T-4 for Savage MarkII..... Reality !

    Re: Manners T-4 for Savage MarkII..... Reality ! The action looks to be pretty low in the stock. How is the cheek weld, or is the stock pack necessary. I know its all preference, but I find the savage stock to be too low. I may be interested in the group buy.
