    Advanced Marksmanship crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them...

    Many years ago I picked up my first nice bolt action rifle. It's remington 700 law enforcement edition of sorts, 308, bull barrel.... anyways I'm in CA so it means after I bought it l, it was 10 days of waiting. The FFL was going to have a class at an indoor range halfway through and said he...

    Re: Howa 1500 308 scope mount same as Rem 700 SA? Yup... stopped by a store that had one piece mounts and compared the three: Rem SA, Rem LA and Howa 1500 SA.... the HOwa 1500 SA was in between the two....

    Re: Howa 1500 308 scope mount same as Rem 700 SA? Damn... there's logic for you.. mismatch manufacturers and use a LA base on a SA rifle..... ugh.....

    Gunsmithing Howa 1500 308 scope mount same as Rem 700 SA?

    Ok, I'm thoroughly confused now..... I thought that Howa 1500 .308 uses same mount as Remington 700 short action? I just got http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=145537 and while the spacing on the holes is right the distance between the front pair and back pair is short by...

    Gunsmithing Knoxx/Axiom Howa 1500 stock

    I have the Howa 1500 with the hogue rubber stock and I'm hating the feel of it. I'm considering getting the Knoxx/Axiom stock but I'm torn between it and something more standard. I have the Knoxx stock on the 870 but never really considered it for a long gun. Thoughts? Comments? Btw, I got...

    Rifle Scopes Nikko Nighteater scopes?

    Looking for a decently priced scope (read cheap) that is not a POS. A while back I used to have a 700 with a Leupold MkIV but ended up selling it as it was a lot of $ for me at the moment tied into a gun that I got to take out once a year. With that being said I currently have a Howa 1500...

    Gunsmithing Howa 1500 and Remi 700 stocks?

    As I was researching the Howa 1500 prior to sentencing it to the 10 day jail wait I read something about using the Remington 700 stocks with it. Unfortunately I can't find the writeup anymore. This brings me to the question? Is there any truth to it? I'd be dealing with the Howa 1500 .308...

    Re: Enfield 1917 308 project Yikes.... I gotta figure out why I didn't get any notifications from the forum regarding replies... Anyways, regarding restoring it to original state: that'd be hard. I have no wood for it, the parts came all in a bag and I can get ones that are in a working...

    Howdy For starters: I was a a long time lurker, then I dropped off... and now I'm back I used to have a Remington 700 with all the goodies but ended up selling it for couple reasons (didn't have time to choot it.... I think I had it out 4 times in 2 years and that at the moment was too...
