I'm about to re-attempt to bed a PTG detachable mag bottom metal on a Remington 700 Bell & Carlson stock with Devcon and would like to know approximately how long I should wait for it to dry before removing the metal and trimming work with a knife, etc.? My first attempt didn't go too bad...

I'm getting ready to bed a couple of rifles for the first time, and would like to have the putty turn out black on one of them. I was wondering what product or products I can use to add to putty in order to make it black, and if there's a product that I can buy in a common brick and mortar...

Assuming the bore specs are the same for both calibers, can the barrel be reused? Thanks

I bought this trigger a few weeks back, supposedly lightly used. It came with instructions, etc., and doesn't look abused at all. I followed instructions, lightly adjusted the bolt release engagement point, and dry-fired it once, then it locked up. Bolt handle won't even turn. Thinking the...

I'm trying to avoid a which stock is better thread, but rather want to know what kind of problems are common with the HS Precision stocks. I realize that McMillan and Manners stocks are better, and that aluminum chassis are altogether more stable, but I already have the HS precision stocks (two...

I'm looking for a stock for a Rem 700 L/A 30-06 Sporter, this one looks nice, but I'd love to hear opinions. Unfortunately, I cannot afford a McMillan or Manners right now. Most of what I've found on the internet about B&C seems to be positive, but I did find one dude on youtube who had a B&C...

I'm thinking of keeping it simple on a Rem 700 30-06 sporter setup, and was wondering whether there were any cons to the old school twist-in rings and bases? I'm thinking a stainless one piece steel base, haven't decided on optics, but probably a 4-12X Leupold or Nikon. Anyone know the...

I'm just wondering how ugly this looks. I'm thinking of obtaining a stock for a Sporter/skinny barrel Rem 700 LA 30-06 and was thinking maybe I should buy something with a wider barrel channel for when I eventually get it rebarreled. TIA

First off, this isn't meant to bash on Remington specifically, but rather to draw attention to some issues with a new rifle I picked up just last week. I know there are better rifles out there, so before someone suggests I buy a $3000-$6000 rifle, let me say that this is what I can afford. I...

I'm wondering if we can assemble a list of companies (perhaps urls, emails, phone numbers etc., contact info.) of companies or individuals who can professionally inlet a stock such as a B&C, HS Precision, etc., for an M5 DBM bottom metal. I've searched for this info. here and couldn't find...

I found the youtube vid in which the hardware options are mentioned, but I haven't been able to find the width of the swivels themselves. I know the sling is 1.5" wide, and IIRC, the widest swivels I've seen for sale are 1 1/4". Can someone please confirm the width, as they come from...

Two or three years ago I bought a Rem SPS Tactical in .308 and am now thinking of buying a similar rifle in .223. I've managed to pick up some used parts for it over time, thinking of setting it up just like the .308 gun; an HS stock, Leupold Mark IV bases, SS 10X, etc., basic setup. I've...

I was thinking about buying a .223 Rem700 SPS Tactical in .223 to keep my .308 version company (already have an extra PSS stock) but ran across a local store selling one of the above-mentioned Savages and can get it today for $540 + tx. It's one of the new ones, 4.4" screw spacing, accutrigger...

I'm waiting on the PTG “Stealth” M5 bottom metal to arrive and decided to look for a magazine or two. Since the Rem 700SA SPS Tac is more a range gun than anything, I think I'd like to stick to a steel-bodied magazine for the sake of durability, unless someone convinces me the aluminum ones are...

One protrudes from the bottom while the other is flush, but is the difference only aesthetic, or from a practical standpoint, is one better than the other? This would be going on a .308 700 SPS Tactical on an HS Varmint stock, and I assume they both need considerable inletting. Thanks for any...

I've searched and read quite a few threads, but didn't find actual comparisons or objective reasons why one bag is better than the other. I'm sure the more expensive bags have better zippers, better stitching, perhaps some sort of protective spray on the fabric, etc., etc., but... What are the...

Been reading about Kestrel 4000s having problems with battery consumption which eventually causes the battery compartment door to break from overuse. Is this really a problem or just exaggeration from those who like to complain? Do the model 4500s have the same battery consumption problems...

I'm debating on buying a used TRG-22 .308 from an individual and confess to never having fired one, and not having seen the one being sold. Supposedly 40 rounds fired, comes with 30mm medium-height optilok base and rings, factory muzzle brake, “'22'” barrel, phosphate finish, and black stock...

I'm not looking to play operator; just need a decent cap for the money and plan to velcro on a patch with a message such as "don't tread on me" or something. Those mentioned on the subject line are inexpensive and easily available at Amazon, where I buy a bunch of other stuff, so can anyone...

I'm just wondering if there's a way to post positive feedback on a recent transaction. Thanks
