    I have 2 factory LTR stocks that feel different,

    ............did Remington change suppliers sometime during the production? Both have aluminum bedding blocks and look very similar but the pistol grip and wrist are definitely slightly different. The later one is slimmer.

    LE Rem 700 .308 LTR

    Re: LE Rem 700 .308 LTR I think allot of precision shooters have been down the road of buying a Remmy 700 then adding a heavy complicated stock, long heavy barrel, huge optics etc. and ended up miles away from where they started or where they needed to be to accomplish the task. If you start...

    Re: Best way to eliminate suppressor mirage? Thanks all. I found some exhaust header wrap in the garage yesterday, has anyone tried using this? It seemed to me if barrel-change oven-mit worked then this might.

    Rifle Scopes To those of you that switched from MOA to MIL

    Re: To those of you that switched from MOA to MIL I suggest it depends how you've been trained and your life experience. When I was about 13 yrs old at high school we nationally switched from imperial to metric. Those who went before were OK with inches, those who came after think in...

    Gunsmithing Securing Remington bolt handles?

    Re: Securing Remington bolt handles? Thanks for the input all. I have had one Remmy bolt handle break off with no abnormal use. It was a new SPS and I've subsequently read that a few leave the factory with bad solder joints. That prompted me to have all the 700s I owned at the time tig...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-R reticle for 70% hunting/30% target?

    Re: Leupold VX-R reticle for 70% hunting/30% target? I have not looked through one of these but I would caution against a reticle that may be too 'heavy' for precision work. That is based only on SWFA's website representations of the reticles.

    Gunsmithing Securing Remington bolt handles?

    And before anyone asks; yes, I have had one break off in my hand before. I've had two handles TIG welded in place but that involved sending them away. I understand that welding is not very easy due to the solder that has to be removed first and the jig required to put the handle back in the...

    Rifle Scopes Scope body sliding foward under recoil

    Re: Scope body sliding foward under recoil The wider the rings, the less the clamping pressure. I try to avoid very wide rings. The cure-all for this problem is a strip of condom. Clean the condom, cut a 1/2" strip with very sharp scissors. Clean the scope and wrap the condom around the...

    Remmy 700 DBM with mag release in trigger guard?

    Re: Remmy 700 DBM with mag release in trigger guard? Thanks for the help boyz. The new R&D bottom metal looks just about perfect, I think I'll wait for that one. I have two rifles to convert, a .223 and a .308 and am thinking a system that uses proven AI mags would be best.
