    Gunsmithing Machining Rem 700 Action.

    Re: Machining Rem 700 Action. Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas and information. I don't at all expect to someday become the next remington, or anything like that. Thanks for the link to the other forum. I'll have to check that out. Stuck on duty today, so maybe i'll spend some time there...

    Gunsmithing Machining Rem 700 Action.

    Maybe this is the wrong site to ask this question, but I was wondering if anyone here has ever made their own Rem 700 action. I have experience working in a machine shop, so I can't imagine that it would be extremely difficult. I'm just not really sure what kind of steel to use. I know Surgeon...

    reloading notebook?

    Re: reloading notebook? Thanks everyone for your input. I've got some great ideas and things to work with. Another question; if you change lot numbers for powder, do you rework your load? How do you check to make sure it's still shooting the way you want with the load you worked up?

    reloading notebook?

    So, I just tried searching and can't really find what I'm looking for. That's not to say that the info isn't on here; I'm just not sure what exactly sure how to search for the info I'm looking for. I'm trying to put together my personal reloading info into a notebook. I was planning on using...

    Howa .243 twist rate?

    So, my dad just won a Howa Ranchland Compact .243, and i've been trying to find out what the twist rate is so i can load him some ammo. Problem is, i can't find the twist rate anywhere and he doesn't know what it is. i've checked their website, and i've even tried searching on Google. Maybe i...

    Which Stock for Rem 700 SA?

    Re: Which Stock for Rem 700 SA? the jae stock is still pre production, when i emailed them about getting one for my 700 i believe they told me they won't be out till may. So, i went with the aics, instead, and i'm pretty happy with it. the aics and the jae stock are pretty much the same price...

    Cleaning moly out of barrel ?

    If this is in the wrong section i'm sorry, i wasn't really sure where to ask this question at. So, my dad has a 7mm rem mag, a friend of his loads ammo for him. I guess when he had trouble with his 06 he and his friend found that moly coated bullets worked better, so when he got his 7mm his...

    Re: .308 bullet selection so, i went to the range today, with a box of 155 gr AMAX bullets loaded with 43.0-47.5 grains of varget in 0.5 increments. With 43.0 grains i saw 3/4" groups at 100 yards and 1.5" groups at 200. I set up my target at 200 yards and shot. i saw groups about the same...

    Suppressors gemtech vs surefire?

    Re: gemtech vs surefire? I have a Rem 700 SPS varmint with a 26" barrel. I'm thinking it's mostly going to be a target rifle seeing as how with the aics stock it weighs close to 15 lbs. The more i read, the more i'm leaning toward just threading it on, i don't really have any plans on...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 action/barrel work question

    Re: Rem 700 action/barrel work question I don't mean shortening the barrel, i meant, if you cut the back of the barrel you would shorten the chamber...then you would just need to recut the threads. But so far, it seems to shoot fairly well. i was seeing .750" groups at 100 yards, and 1.5"...

    Suppressors gemtech vs surefire?

    Re: gemtech vs surefire? No, there's no reason why i'm not looking at any particular suppressor. I'm open to any suggestions it just seemed like a lot of people suggested gemtech. That and they seem to be reasonably priced. I don't have the money to buy one quite yet, maybe once i get back...

    .308 bullet selection

    Re: .308 bullet selection That was my first attempt at loading, so i started low. I have a box loaded ranging from 43.0 to 47.5 grains of varget. My plan is next weekend to go out and do some shooting at 200 yards and see what groups best.

    .308 bullet selection

    Re: .308 bullet selection Thanks guys! I think i'm just gonna stick with the Amax for now. I haven't got the chance to tune the load yet and it seems to be shooting fairly well so far. So we'll see how it does

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 action/barrel work question

    Re: Rem 700 action/barrel work question thanks, that's good to know. i went out to the range a couple weeks ago, and shot a little over 100 rounds. sadly i only have a 200 yd range, but i was seeing 1.5" groups at 200 yards. I was pretty impressed seeing as how that's the second time i've...

    Suppressors gemtech vs surefire?

    I've been considering purchasing a suppressor for my .308. I've looked at a bunch of different companies and it seems like gemtech is probably one of the best choices. Maybe this is a stupid question, but why is the surefire suppressors twice the price of the gemtech hvt? Are they really that...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 action/barrel work question

    I have a Rem 700 chambered in .308 with the stock barrel. The other day i was trying to determine the o.a.l. for my loads, and determined that it's about ~2.950" to have the bullet touching the rifling. However, the max length due to the magazine is 2.885". I understand that usually bullets are...
