    Cold bbl or clean bore with 1st shot accuracy?

    My 1st 3 shots on a cold, clean bore are high and left. My 4th shot settles in the X ring and the 50th shot is the same. My questions is which is it, the fact that the barrel is cold or I'm shooting a clean bore that is the cause. I'm not an anal barrel cleaner. I use Hoppes on a brush , 3-5...

    Rifle Scopes Retical blurs out on me, need help

    For background I am 45 y/o, very near sighted, and corrected with contact lenses to almost 20/20. I just mounted a Leupold 4.5-14X50 mildot and adjusted the ocular looking at the sky per the manual. My problem is that the retical blurs out on me at 14X to the point I can't see the intersection...

    Can someone school me on 280 Rem/280 AI?

    As I have previously posted, I have a R700 LA I want to build into a precision rig, mostly for range work but also an occasional deer hunt. I do reload. I had asked the members to help me decide between 6.5X55 and 30.06 and received alot of good feedback but also preferences for several other...

    6.5X55 or 30.06 Ackley Improved?

    I'm getting ready to purchase parts for my R700 LA build (currently a old 30.06 sporter ADL) and was set on chambering 6.5X55. However, I've been told I could stay with 30.06 or even go 30.06 AI. The advange for me is that I already load the .06 and have dies, components, surplus HXP, etc...

    ADL configuration for precision build?

    Per my previous posts, I have an old R700 ADL LA in 30.06. I am building a 6.5X55 with a Kreiger #8 and Manners T3. Since I have the ADL guard and follower already, I am thinking of saving ~$200.00 on bottom metal and just having the stock inletted for ADL. I know a Badger DBM would be ideal...

    Gunsmithing Torque wrench questions (update)

    I need a torque driver for base and ring screws (15 in.lb.) and stock and ring bolts (65 in.lbs). I know Seekonk makes a nice product but I'll need two wrenches and they are pricey. I am looking at a Wiha Torque-Vario 20-70 in.lb. torque screwdriver for $74.00. 3 questions: Is 20 in.lb...

    Twist Rate for 6.5X55 build?

    Based on my previous post, I decided to build my R700 LA in 6.5X55 for a long range precision rifle. I gave up the idea of using this as a hunting rifle, as I can use my .308 to hunt deer. I am looking at the krieger #9 Heavy Target in an AICS. They offer 1:8, 1:8.5, and 1:9. I know the twist...

    6.5X55 for R700 LA build?

    First, hello to hide members. Been on AR15.com for a while and kept hearing about "The guys on the hide say this and that" so I've been checking it out. I have an older R700 LA 30.06 sporter that I want to build into a precision rifle. I would use this for long range but also PA deer hunting...
