    Anyone have opinions on these scopes? I did a search and read alot of good things here but was looking for some more up to date opinions. How's the tracking, optical clarity, construction/ruggedness, etc...? From what I've read they're a good scope that gets overlooked by many people. I'm...

    On a Remington 700 ADL/BDL in 7mm Rem. mag. what is the outside diameter of this barrel at the muzzel and what barrel contour name/number is this barrel?

    Rem. 700 VS 22-250 twist rate?

    I have an older Remington 700 VS in 22-250 from approx. 1993-1994. Does anyone know what the twist rate is on this barrel? According to Remingtons website they produce 22-250's with 14" twist rate but I'm not sure if it was the same back in 93-94. Does anyone know? Thanks.

    Rock River Varmint in .223?

    I'm wanting a Rock River Varmint in .223 in either a 20" or 24" bull barrel. Talk to me about this rifle/cartridge combo as it relates to longer range shooting. What's this cartridge like at long distances, 300-600 yds.? This rifle would be used strictly for paper punching or possibly a...

    .243 barrel twist rate?

    The Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .243 Win. comes with a 9 1/8 twist rate. Is this twist rate enough to handle the 100-107 gr. bullets such as the Sierra Match King or Hornady A-max bullets? I'd prefer it come with an 8 twist barrel but 9 1/8 is what Remington sends it out with. Advice...

    I have a Remington 700 that I'd like to have rebarreled and the action trued. I'd want a stainless 26" varmint/sendero contoured barrel in .243 Win. probably an 8 or 8.5 twist. Does anyone have a recommendation of someone reasonably priced in the Houston, Tx. area or can recommend someone that...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch 5-20x44 vs. Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44

    Can someone compare the Nikon Monarch vs. the Vortex Viper scopes or have an opinion on one vs. the other, which is best? I know the Nikon is a 1 inch tube and the Vortex is a 30mm tube. I plan on putting one of them on a Rem. 700 VS that I will soon have rebarreled to .243 Win. 26" varmint...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch 5-20x44 Opinions?

    Anyone have experience with this scope? Pros, Cons, reviews or opinions? I'm thinking of putting it on a Remington 700 VS that I will soon have re-barreled, most likely to .243 that I will use for paper punching 100-300 yds. but occasionally out to 600-1000 yds. and possibly some deer hunting...

    .243 Win. for long range shooting?

    To go along with my thread on Pac-Nor barrels I'm considering my rebarrel project in either 7mm-08 or .243 Win. The .243 Win. would obviously have less recoil but are there any disadvantages to using this caliber for long range shooting opposed to a larger round like the 7mm-08? Either caliber...

    Pac-Nor Barrels any good?

    A local gun smith / rifle builder will do a barrel replacement and truing of the action for a pretty reasonable price but they use Pac-Nor barrels. I'm familiar with the reputations of other barrel manufacturers but not Pac-Nor. I'm considering having a Remington 700VS in 22-250 rebarreled to...

    Remington barrel contour question.

    Is the barrel contour of the 700P and the 700 5R milspec the same? I know the barrel length is different but in pictures it appears the contour of the 5R milspec is slightly heavier. I'm trying to decide between these 2 rifles. I like the 26" barrel on the 700P but like the all stainless...
