    Optics Planet - Never Again

    I have had it with this company. I recommend that nobody ever buys anything from them. I ordered a Spuhr scope mount from them. Two days later their risk management department emailed me to say my order was on hold and asked me some questions about who exactly I was and what was my intended use...

    Gunsmithing Remmy 700 bolt issues

    Hi all, first problem I've had with my R700. It's a SPS-V 308 that has been trued by Short Action Customs. Stock X-Mark Trigger (which I actually like after Mark worked on it) and sitting in a McRee G5 folding stock. 1/2 the time when I close the bolt it works as it should (trigger cocked and...

    One of my rifles is 52 inches long at its longest. It looks like the Pelican 1770 case is the only option for it. Any other reputable gun case builders that you guys know of?

    Damage from 'hot' loads?

    Recently purchased a Remington 700 VSF with less than 100 rounds through it. The first owner fired the first 40 rounds with HOT loads (48 grains of powder). Rounds 60-100 were fired with Factory ammo (FGMM). What detectable/visible damage could this have done to the rifle? What should I look...

    Newb reloading advice - wrong forum?

    I'm guessing that you bolt gun guys are the best ones at handloading .308's...so here are a few 'duh' questions for you that weren't answered in either of my 2 DVD's, manuals, etc. I used a tiny bit of lube on the inside of the necks during sizing. When loading powder, a few grains 'stuck' to...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce recticles: MOAR vs. NPR1 - on a TRG42

    I have decided on the NXS 5.5-22x56 scope due to its 100MOA travel and overall fantastic reputation. I have found a few threads on NPR1 vs NPR2, but not a lot of MOAR vs NPR1. Have any of you had/used both? Seems to me like MOAR adds 10MOA onto the recticle and overall looks cleaner. Is that...

    Suppressors Surefire 338 can: 'impossible' to put onto .308?

    I am sold on the surefire system, although their customer service/technical didn't answer a question to my satisfaction and so I ask the real experts here at the hide. I want to buy one suppressor for 3 weapons: a) HK M91 (M15x1 thread) b) Remmy 700 .308 SPS Varmint (unthreaded so far) c)...

    Critique my proposed build

    My current stock 700 is great but I'm looking for something different. Specifically I'm looking for a 308 cal rifle good for up to 400 yards max, rugged and easy to carry/fold/sling and shoot under all conditions not just bench rest. Given that at any given time 400 people are looking at...
