    How do your Tikka's feed in various chassis?

    I'm curios about how your Tikka's feed in various chassis, specifically with AICS mags. I understand that the Magpul mags are a no go but what about everything else? I'm thinking about upgrading to either whiskey 3, mpa, or mdt acc and wanted to make sure that those that have them don't...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr mount for Tikka T3x CTR

    How much of a gap will I end up with if I use the lowest Spur 20moa mount on my rifle? I'm looking to mount a PST gen ii 5x25-50. The lowest mount is 1.18" high. I'm thinking if I go with this mount I can avoid removing the factory installed base that I've read is a pain to remove. I really...

    Gunsmithing 700 trigger sping?

    Ok I am trying to swap out my 700 trigger with an old style one. The problem is I can't figure out where this tiny spring goes. As best as I can figure it has something to do with the safety but I'm not sure.

    700 SPS Tactical FPS?

    I'm trying to work up some range cards so I'm curious what kind of FPS you guys are getting with the 20" barrel. I'm talking about factory loads, primarily the 308 FGMM 168.

    Which action for new build?

    The time has come for me to build a new rifle. I've decided on the 7mm Rem Mag for the caliber so far. I also know that I want it sitting in an A5 stock. My question is simple: What action to use for the rifle? I already have a 700 in .308 that is sitting in an HTG stock that I like a lot but...

    700p 7mmRM twist rate?

    Just like the subject says, I know that Remington is now using a 9.25" twist rate. Just wondering if anyone knows for sure what the twist rate is on these. They stopped making them so finding information is a bit difficult.

    Gunsmithing Hogue bedding question

    So I have a SPS Tactical with the hogue stock. I have decided to go ahead and bed the stock and stiffen it as well. My question is do you think I should leave a pad for the barrel or free float it completely? Keep in mind it's only a 20 inch barrel. If you think I should leave a pad what...

    Gunsmithing Sporter barrel bedding?

    I'm bedding my hunting rifle again because I'm not so satisfied with it's accuracy. It has a light weight 22" sporter barrel on it, the stock is a crappy synthetic that I've modified heavily to make it very solid (consequently heavy too). My question is should I have it free floating in the...

    Remington 700 Short Action

    Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. What can I expect to pay for a factory new or used 700 action? Where is the best place to buy a new or used one with a 223 bolt face? There is one on Gunbroker for $380, is that a good price?

    Anyone in the running for the most ghetto 22?

    I look around and see how much you guys are putting into .22 trainers with envy. Here is mine it's a savage Mark II FV, my major complaint is how small the stock it comes on is. So I bought a pad that adds a 1.5" LOP and duct taped it on. Then I did the ghetto cheek rest with Moleskin and duct...

    260 VS 243

    I realize that there a benefits too each. The 260 has bullets that have a higher BC than the 243. While the 243 has a lot more options in terms of brass. My question is: is the 260 better bottom line vs the 243 from 0-1000 meters in terms of accuracy? Also this is probably going to show my...
