    Specific/Odd Question - Will 1.75" Diameter Suppressor Fit Inside Cadex Dual Strike Forearm?

    I have an SBR'd Remington 700 with a 12" 8.6BLK barrel. I would really, really like to put it in a Dual Strike chassis with a suppressor attached. The barrel will not clear the forearm, so the suppressor would have to fit inside - same look as their new Seven STARS Covert. The inside diameter...

    Anyone install a Badger EFR on an HS Precision Varmint Stock ( PSV074)?

    I'm kicking around having a Badger EFR installed on my HS Precision stock. It's not a 700P stock, but similar. It's a 700VSF stock that is HS Precision Model #PSV074. My concern is that it has a small "flare" just below the top edge of the forearm that runs the length of the forearm and...

    Dumb question on swapping stocks with DBM...........

    I have a 700P with an Atlasworx DBM that was professionally installed by a gunsmith (stock inletted and DBM secured to stock at proper depth with my Alpha mags). Let's say I have another 700 barreled action that shoots better than the 700P (1/2 MOA all day with handloads). I should be able to...

    Which is best..........Brux, Rock, or Krieger?

    Let's say I'm looking to build a new .308 to shoot 168gr pills and I want the most accurate of the three..............which of Brux, Rock Creek, or Krieger would you choose assuming price were the same for all 3? Or is it splitting hairs as all 3 will shoot so well, you'd never know the...

    Leupold GR or Nikon Prostaff 5 Spotting Scope?

    I'm looking for a new spotting scope and have found 2 that really interest me. I'm looking at the Leupold Golden Ring 15-30x50 and the Nikon Prostaff 5 16-48x60. Both are within my price range though the Nikon is about $75 more. It will mostly be used on the range from 100 to 500 yards and...

    Rifle Scopes Leupy MK4 Finicky Eye Position?

    My issued rifle is equipped with a Leupold Mark 4 scope and I don't have the option of changing it. I'm getting frustrated with what seems to be a finicky eye position for the scope. Not so much eye relief, but a very narrow "sweet spot" for POA to equal POI. I stick an upholstry screw type...

    Does Remington MARS mount require 8-40 thread?

    I called Remington today and after shuffling me around the phone system, they said they'd get back to me with an answer. I thought you fellas would probably know, so I wanted to ask here: Does the Remington MARS mount require me to drill and tap my receiver from the existing 6-48 thread to the...

    My agency is looking to test and carry a bonded .308 round for it's tactical unit sniper rifles. We would still carry and primarily use FGMM, but want the option of the bonded round. I have seen a few references to FBI Ballistic Tests where Federal 165 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw performed...

    Gunsmithing Looking for a prethreaded 700 barrel for use w/can

    I was thinking of buying a Remington 700 SPS or similar hunting weight/profile rifle in .223 and threading it for a suppressor. Problem is, Remington only sells their hunting weight rifles in a 1:12 or slower twist. I'm looking to use this rifle for subsonic use and want a twist no slower than...

    Gunsmithing Where can I get good stock inletting instructions

    I have a coworker that is a great machinist and has lots of equipment, fancy endmill, etc. I, however, don't know jack about inletting. If I bought some bottom metal for my Rem 700, where can I find some good instructions to show him what I need done? Is there any certain depth to cut the...

    Length of Wyatt 10 rd mag vs. AICS 10 rd mag?

    I'm trying to decide between Wyatt Bottom Metal and CDI Bottom Metal. I like that the Wyatt is a true drop in (in a 700P stock) and doesn't need inletting like the CDI. I can get Wyatt Bottom Metal with a 5 rd mag and buy the 10 round mag as well for the same price as the CDI Bottom Metal with...
