If anyone has any tooling laying around that I may need PM me the detail and price. I have been looking for a lathe for awhile now and the stars finally aligned. I bought it dirt cheap, within 30 miles and it came with a few extras. Its covered in grime, but it looks like it wasn't...

Quick question. Will a .700" Stiller bolt fit a Remington 700? Thanks in advance

I finished up my 6.5X47 Lapua recently and I thought I would share the details. Here are the specs PTG 6.5x47 .294 neck .140 FB reamer Trued 700 Action Brux Barrel - Modified Rem varmint contour - 26", .800 at the muzzle PTG 1 piece fluted bolt. PTG .200" lug PTG Aluminum BM...

My bro in law got bit by the bug from me sending him pictures of my guns and long range shooting. He "commissioned" me to put a gun together for him...gave me no budget. He just wanted it to be big, nasty and loud. I did all of the threading and chambering on my buddies lathe (with his...

I dont know if this has been covered, but here is my take on how to "clean" up the reveal between your barrel and stock I recently rechambered a gun with a smaller contour barrel and I had a large, uneven gap between the barrel and the stock. I know this is only aesthetic, but I like my guns...

I just put together a 6.5x47 and took it to the range today. I loaded up some lighter loads of Varget (36 grains) and 123 Amax just to put some shots through it. I shot a few out of a brand new barrel and then cleaned it up. I noticed some unburned powder when I ran a patch through it...It...

This was earlier in the year, but I thought I would share a picture. Wild as can be, public access, Wyoming rainbow......30 fish day

I have been thinking about this for a while and kind of want to give it a go. I have a Bell and Carlson Alaskan II and I like the feel of the stock but I don't think that it will handle the contour of the barrel that I want to put in it. I have a Brux Remington Varmint barrel that will be here...

There are some knowledgeable people on this forum so I was hoping for a little feedback. I have the chance to purchase a Sako L461 action. The action is brand new and beautiful. 223 bolt face, trigger, floor plate---Everything. The asking price is $450. What do you think? Thanks for your time

I just picked up a Sako L57 rifle. Serial number is in the mid 100's. The rifle had an HS stock and shilen barrel. Is this model of Sako known for decent accuracy? Are they well built? Any comments or concerns would be appreciated. Its chambered in 6mmx22-250. I picked it up pretty cheap

I have researched this topic and everyone has a different answer. Is it necessary or beneficial to recut the action threads when truing a rem 700? If the action face is square and the barrel is square wont there be enough crush or play in the threads to get the two seated together 100%? What...

I have a 1980 short action and it has the riveted extractor. I need to take this out in order to square my bolt face. Can the extractor be reused? Can the rivet be reused? Can I just install the new rivetless extractor in its place. Thanks in adavance

I just bought a 1964 Remington 700 6mm short action. Does anyone know if there was a standard rate of twist??

I just got back from the range today and I am highly frustrated. I am shooting a 6.5x284 with Berger VLD 140 target bullets and 50.5 grains of H4831 My groups at 100 are great..The gun shoots in the .2s and .3s and an on a few occasions has shot in the .0s I shot today and 100 and printed...

I am purchasing a Rem 700 BDL SA that was manufactured in 1964. The guy is selling this thing dirt cheap and it is in great shape.. My question...Are the older Rem 700s any better than the newer ones? Im sure that the same tooling is used so the tolerances cant be too differnt from old to new...

Does anyone have any experience with Shilens Ratchet barrels? Good, bad, mediocre? I am thinking about ordering one in a .224 1-8" twist for a 22-243 build that I am working on.

What is the weight on a Rem 700 SA receiver? Is the weight calculated with the trigger, follower, box and bottom metal? Thanks in advance

I just picked up a Remington 700 BDL for a song. I was trying to find the age but I am having a hard time. The barrel code is CA Serial # A687XXXX Thanks

I recently built a 6.5x284. I have a Benchmark barrel on it and it still copper fouls quite a bit. I currently have 160 rounds through it. It shoots very well but I hate the fact that it fouls so much. Is this just the result of the caliber. I have had other barrels and they have cleaned up...
