    Any serving or former USMC STA? I smell a fraud

    Came by this video on Youtube ... he claims he was USMC Scout Sniper, but he just doesn't sound right. He talks in vagaries and claimed to have chalked up many kills including in Honduras ... the clincher for me was some story about how he woke up in the jungle one night to find he had cut the...

    Start of a Remington 700 long action build

    Rifle Scopes Redfield 12x?

    Hello again ... I just bought an "A" serialled Remington 700 for its action and it came with a Redfield 12x fixed scope sitting on top. This is definitely a scope from a bygone era that was made in the US of A with target turrets. The scope's in excellent optical condition and has minimal...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 .223 custom build?

    Hello from Australia ... I'm looking to build up a grunty .223 "back up" (ie, one that's a no brainer to shoot, and that I can toss to a buddy for a weekend) based on a Remington 700 action. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of .223 (my other Rems are in .308, and a VERY heavy '250), but...
