    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.

    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...

    Remmy 700 DBM with mag release in trigger guard?

    Thinking about going to DBM on a .223 LTR rifle with AI polymer mags. Not keen on Badger mag release hanging below rifle, would prefer a release inside the trigger guard or at least less obtrusive. Does such a thing exist? TIA.

    Rifle Scopes Smallest 1-4 illuminated reticle scope?

    Looking for a really small 1-4 or 1.5-5 illuminated reticle scope for a backpacking .22 rifle. It'll only be capable of shooting less than 10yds but I need a bit of magnification for smallgame headshots. Would like to avoid 30mm to save size/weight. Any thoughts? TIA.

    Rifle Scopes What's the Hide's thoughts on Stoney Point knobs?

    I have a couple rifles fitted with Illuminated 30mm VXIII scopes and could do with some repeatable elevation adjustment for range use. These are hunting rifles. Are the Stoney Point knobs useful? I was thinking of building simple click-value range charts for the lens caps. TIA.

    Gunsmithing Idea for bolt handle wrench.

    As I was hunting around my workbench for the right driver bit to fit my two Remmy 700 action hex-screws it occurred to me that the bolt would be a perfectly good driver/spanner/wrench if the handle/knob was machined to fit standard hex-bits. I could then tape the bits to the inside of my...

    Gunsmithing Who made this bolt handle?

    I bought two of these years ago and only fitted them earlier this year. Perfect shape and size for me, would like to buy a couple more. They were drilled for a small stud but I opened the hole, re-threaded the knob and turned my handles into studs instead. Any helpa appreciated, thanks.

    Gunsmithing Who makes the teardrop bolt knob with 1/8" stud?

    I bought a couple years ago and can't remember who from. It's a smallish teardrop shape and has a small 1/8" stud screwed into it that is to be screwed into the drilled and tapped bolt handle. I didn't use the stud system but really liked the size and shape of the knob. Any info appreciated, TIA.

    Gunsmithing Changing a Remmy 700 bolt knob?

    I'd like to change my Remmy 700 bolt knob, I'll probably turn my own. How do I turn the factory knob into a threaded stud? I'd prefer not to cut the factory knob off, I was thinking I'd rough grind it down, somehow hold it in a 4-jaw and male-thread it to screw into a female knob like a CZ...
