    Gunsmithing questions on 700vs bolt fit

    I'm looking at purchasing a used Remington 700vs in .223. The gun appears to be in excellent condition, with little or no wear. It does have one odd /confusing feature- the bolt handle rattles. The bolt appears to fit well with no front to rear play, but the bolt handle lifts about 3/16" with...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold M3 turret removal/changing???

    Just got a Leupy with M3 turrets and want to switch out of .223 to the .308. I backed out the set screws. Silly question- Now what? They don't seem to want to twist off or lift off. I don't want to get rammy with it and break it.

    Gunsmithing Barrel threaded 9/16x24- what flashhider?

    I bought a used .308 LTR a couple years ago that was threaded for a can. Until I live in a suppressor friendly state, I'd like to put a flash hider/suppressor on it. I can't find on locally. Any leads on who makes them in this thread pitch? Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes need to get rid of a scope - VX3 or Vari-X3?

    I've got two varmint rigs (.223 and .22-250), and two scopes. I'm getting rid of the .223 and sticking with the .22-250 for all Varmint hunting with a huge/heavy rifle. Will still whack woodchucks and coyotes with a short lighter .223 (like an LTR) with a lower magnification scope. Question...

    .223- buy an LTR or chop a 700P?

    I want an LTR in .223 Rem. Seems they are like hen's teeth right now. I have a 700P (it's for sale ) and I'm starting to wonder if I should just chop off 6 inches and call it good. Thoughts on this?

    Rifle Scopes 600 yards- 4.5-14 or 6.5-20?

    Looking to put a bigger scope on my 700p in .308. I've never consistently shot at distances longer than @250 yards. I;m joining a new club with a 600 yard range and want to get a scope that will let my old eyes see the target. Any old farts (50 years or so) here have an opinion or advice?

    Rifle Scopes Price/value check - Leupold Vari-xIII Tactical

    I've got a Vari-X III Tactical, 3.5-10x50, AO, mil-dot, 1" tube scope in perfect condition. I'm looking to upgrade to higher magnification for longer range shooting. I'll probably be selling this one to offset the cost of the new scope. Any guidance on what this is worth? Please post...

    700P- What to do?

    I've got a 700P in .308 and an LTR in .308,. The LTR doubles as my deer gun. I had a 700P several years ago and sold it because I never got to use it at distances beyond 200 yards. I picked this one up a year ago with the idea of putting a decent scope on it and using it for longer range (out...

    Rifle Scopes M1 vs M3 turret question

    I understand that the M1 has 1/4" clicks and the M3 has 1" elevation clicks at 100 yards. At longer distances, I think that the click values are increased or multiplied (in 100 yard increments) by the distance. Example- at 600 yards, one click on the M3 would be 6 inches and one click on the...

    700P in .223 - keep or sell?

    Gentlemen, Long story short, I had a tack driver SPS varmint .223 in upgraded stock. Came a cross a good deal on 700P .223, Leupy scope, and more. Bought the package, sold my varmint gun, figuring the 700P would be better. Different twists (1/12 on Varmint and 1/9 in the 700P) mean my Hornady...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 SPS Varmint barrel cutting? Need a s

    I got a screaming deal on a 700 SPS Varmint in .308 Win. The trigger is awesome (so far), and I swapped out the stock. Shoots like crazy. Only problem is the 26" barrel. My son wants to use it for an all around rifle, mostly for deer hunting. I used a Remington 700P for deer hunting one year...
