Takers?

Mind pointing me to exactly what you're referring to? Is it a drill bit? I don't have any heavy machinery (ie: drill press) so may not be able to complete that job myself.

Much appreciated, I've reached out to them about it. Thanks

Being from Phoenix as well, could you possibly recommend a gunsmith to do this? Thanks.

I was mounting a Badger base to my 700 5R when the process was derailed (no pun intended) by the front screw hole threading being stripped (the screw itself has no threading left and the threading on the action appears to have been affected). This is a new rifle, having its first scope mounted...

How about options with a stainless/nickel/hard-chrome finish (something to match the 5R action and barrel)?

I've done a bit of looking into options for data books and Impact Data Books seems like the top option. As a new shooter I'm still looking into what all I will need in a package to log my rounds. IDB has some nice premade options. Are there any better alternatives? How about in the digital...

I have a McMillan A5 (standard) BDL stock on my 700 5R that I would like to drop a detachable mag system into. Any recommendations? What are the best options at any price-point? Thanks.

In case anyone encounters the same with their A5 and BT17, I received confirmation from both Accu-Shot and McMillan that it is acceptable to mount the 10-32 screws that come in the BT1517 fastener set, where the A5 stock has embedded threaded anchors (as mine does), without having to use the...

If your base is bowed but happens to fit your action perfectly, how do you straighten it?

Running into this issue with my A5. Need some input. I ordered the BT17 rail and BT1517 fastener to mount an Atlas bipod to my A5. The A5 previously had two factory sling studs installed, which I removed to install the BT1517 fasteners. The t-nut on the fasteners does not pass through the...

After watching the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLYvLdM4ymU ...I repeated the process with the screws on the rear instead of the front, thinking I may see some play as is shown in the clip. After snugging the screws down I found zero play on the front, and no gaps on the...

A Badger base can be bowed? I assumed you get what you pay for with them: a rail as straight as a nail. Are you referring to when both the front and rear are screwed down? I can see that being the case if the action is not level.

It almost doesn't look like it is in the first photos, but I feel zero side-to-side play in it. Is there a surefire way of straightening it?

When is it not necessary to bed a base? Is there such a thing as having so little space between the base and action that bedding is unnecessary? And does it look like my case fits into that category? It's a simple enough task but I want to be sure it's necessary before following through with it.

Installing a Badger Ordnance M700 SA Picatinny base (306-46) on my 700 5R. This is my first base installation and I'm trying to determine whether or not I need to bed it. I've come across enough how-tos that demonstrate a significant amount of play between the action and base, leading to bedding...

Thanks for the replies, you've all given me some good things to think about. At the end of the day, I decided to go with the McMillan A5 (standard). McMillan had a nice sale on it and since they are here in Phoenix I was able to stop by their shop and pick it up (have it installed now). They're...

I've looked into a couple cheek rest options (namely Karsten and Bradley). Any favorites or ones to stay away from? For that matter, is it worth the extra cost to have a built-in adjustable cheek rest (ie: adjustable A5 or A3-5?)?

I have a 700 5R with a factory HS Precision stock that I'm looking to replace with either a McMillan or Manners. Would prefer to go the adjustable route (ADJ A5 or A3-5; T4A) but don't have the funds for that right now. I have a chance to pick up a new non-adjustable McMillan A5 for $550 and am...

The Manners T4/T4A option with the aluminum drop-in chassis sounds intriguing, if I could find a black one in stock anyone. If I wanted to get a McMillan A5, would I need an aluminum chassis, and can I buy one for the 5R after? Is pillar bedding an alternative for an aluminum chassis, or...
