    Gunsmithing Machining Rem 700 Action.

I have experience working in a machine shop, so I can't imagine that it would be extremely difficult. I'm just not really sure what kind of steel to use. I know Surgeon...

    .308 bullet selection

    So, I just finished building my rifle. It's a Remington 700 sps varmint on an AICS with a Leupold mk4 4.5-14x50 ffp scope. I loaded up some Hornady amax bullets at 43.0 grains and got 3/4 in groups at 100 yards, and about 1.5 in groups at 200...when I did my part. Anyway, there are a number of...
