    New Timney trigger

    Put a new Timney 510 on a 700 I put together for a SWAT/Sniper duty rifle, I love it, got it set at 2.5lbs and it breaks real nice. I like the the slightly wider trigger's feel.

    Settled on a load for 168SMK in Rem 700 SPS-V

    JC98, I picked up 200 168's at a good price and currently planning on shooting them out to around 500 or so. As soon as they are gone I plan on working up a load for some 175's to shoot out to 1000. I just got into reloading for rifle (used to do a lot of pistol) and bought the 168's local just...

    Settled on a load for 168SMK in Rem 700 SPS-V

    Since just getting back in to reloading I've been working on a load development for 168 SMK using Reloader-15 shot through my Rem 700 SPS Varmint that I just got put together and bedded in a Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist stock. I started at 42g of R-15 and worked up to 44g in 0.4g...

    R-15, 168 SMK and Rem 700 SPS V ?

    I'm getting ready to start back into reloading and I got my hands on some Reloader 15. What are your suggestions for starting to work up a load for my Rem 700 SPS Varmint 308 , 1:12 with 26" barrel ? The components I'll be using are Lake City brass, 168 SMKs, R-15, and Winchester Primers. What...

    Rem 700 SPS V .308 Completed...

    I finally got this rifle completed and first trip to the range. Its a stock 700 SPS Varmint 308 that I bedded in a Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist stock. Its has a 20 MOA mount with a SS 10x42 MQ Mil/Mil scope sitting in Burris XTR rings. After getting it all put together I decided that I...

    What color cerakote with mcmillan gap camo?

    I think GA Precision uses the "GAP" stock on their Crusader model and if I'm not mistaken it comes with the metal done in a mil-spec OD green. They have pics of this model on their website if you want to compare colors. Probably some on here too. Danny

    Range Report Velocity for FGMM 168s and 175s ?

    dmike, I just put together a new SPS v with the 26" 1:12 twist. I replaced the trigger with a Timney set between 2 and 2 1/2 lbs. I bedded it in a Bell and Carlson A2 style Tactical Medalist stock with a new SS 10x42 MQ which is a mil/mil scope on a 20 MOA base and set in some Burris XTR rings...

    Range Report Velocity for FGMM 168s and 175s ?

    Thanks "dmike", I'm going to start a barrel break in and zero on this one in the next few days. I figured I would start out with these two factory loads after break in and try it out to around 600 or so. Still waiting on some reloading equipment and supplies to come in along with a chronograph...

    Range Report Velocity for FGMM 168s and 175s ?

    Just curious as to what velocities I should expect to get from my Rem 700 SPS V .308 with the 1:12 twist and 26" barrel with the factory Federal Gold Medal Match 168s and 175s ? I got this rifle set up and I am currently without a chronograph. Anyone with this setup tested these two factory...

    Gunsmithing Filling Holes After Cheek Piece Removal ??

    Temp9, Its got several coats of Krylon on it. I'm planning on using it in a future build and planning on having the whole rifle Cerakoted, so it will be fine just to fill it, trim it up and a little sanding. Thanks for the info though. Danny

    Gunsmithing Filling Holes After Cheek Piece Removal ??

    Thanks "stockdoc".....I was thinking along those lines but did'nt know exactly what to use as a filler, I was thinking of using something like a big marinating syringe to get the filler down deep in the stock as the holes go all the way through. I am thinking of having this stock Cerakoted in a...

    Bad Time To Start Reloading ?

    I used to do a lot of reloading a few years back and was thinking of getting back into reloading for .308 for local shooting competitions. I have been looking around for components such as powder, primers and brass and it seems that no one has hardly anything available. Is this a bad time for...

    Gunsmithing From Krylon to Cerakote ??

    Thanks for the replies. I am probably going to have this done but not sure when. I will most likely check with the applicators close by, even if the fees happen to be a little more, I would probably save by cutting out the shipping cost and just deliver the rifle to them in person. Thanks...

    Gunsmithing From Krylon to Cerakote ??

    Will Cerakote appliers do a Cerakote job on a rifle that has been completely painted with Krylon ? If so what would be the process and what would be the approximate extra cost ? Just checking, may want to have one done in the future that has about 3-4 coats of Krylon on it. While we are at it...
