    Installing magazine on a Remington 700 5R H+S Prec

    I know I spent a lot of time searching to see how much work was involved installing a CDI Precision detachable magazine on my Rem 700 5R with a H+S Precision stock and hope this thread will shine some light on how much work is involved. Tip of the hat to CDI, they shipped my order quickly on...

    Too much? Badger FTE Brake for Rem700 308

    There are several choices for muzzle breaks for a Rem 700 308, and I've read great reviews on the Badger FTE brake at reducing felt recoil for watching hits and faster follow up shots. I suppose my question is if this large brake is too much/overkill for what the 308 would require. Has anyone...

    JAE 700 Design Question: Recoil Lug

    This thread is strictly to discuss the design of the JAE 700 stock, and how it fits the recoil lug specifically. This thread is not about: 1) Vaporware 2) Wait times 3) Bacon Its my understanding that the JAE 700 stock is installed to the receiver by tightening 2 screws to 65 inch pounds...

    Rifle Scopes My argument against "good" glass (for now)

    I recently purchased my first bolt action, a stock Rem 700 5R .308 which comes in a nice H&S Precision stock. I've got a 16x Millett TRS-2 sitting on top of a good rail and rings. I've been to the range 3x and "I" am shooting consistent 5-shot .75" MOAs prone with Federal Match 175 .308. However...

    First time using a cronograph

    I have some basic questions and I think this may be the best place to ask. Took out my new Rem 700 5R with a 24" barrel and some 175 Federal Match .308. Its my understanding that the ballistic info (2600fps) on the back of the 175 match ammo box was done using a 24" barrel, yet: 1) My...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics 1000 yard build

    I'm going to be upgrading my Millet TRS-2 4-16x that has served me well for the past few years to some better glass for my new Rem 700 5R which will be used for punching paper. With this new scope I've decided to make the jump to mil/mil. Open to suggestions, here are some of my...

    Drag bag modification: bipod loops

    I really liked the idea of this LaRue drag bag that has bipod loops, only problem is the bag is too small to fit my Rem 700. I instead purchased a drag bag from Eagle industries and am thinking about doing the mod myself. I like the idea of being able to really lean into the bipod. Anyone...

    Bipod mount question - R700 5-R stock

    Does anyone have the "stock" Remington 700 5-R HS Precision stock? I have the rifle on order and I want to attach a bipod that has a picatinny rail, and I'm not sure what kind of front sling post it has. Is it a sling bead or maybe a nice, shiny copper threaded hole?
