Re: New stock better than Rem 5R stock, similar cost Well, I decided that I wanted to go with the PST 035 in olive green with black webbing. I called my gun smith to discuss the issue and he informed that since he couldn't find a direct replacement stock, he ordered a new 5R milspec and will...

Re: New stock better than Rem 5R stock, similar cost What about thoughts on this one? HS PST 035 I think this one is nearly identical except for the lower contour of the butt. The grip looks longer, which I'd prefer. My concern is the top contour. It looks higher, like it would...

Re: New stock better than Rem 5R stock, similar cost Did some quick searching, and want to know if anyone has any experience with a Bell&Carlson stock like the one shown here? B&C stock from Brownells Basically the same price, but I get the added benefit of the stock hook. How would...

Long story short, a gunsmith damaged the factory stock of my Rem 5R milspec while he was working on it. This was a result of poor communication and not his skills, but nonetheless he has agreed to replace the stock. That's fine by me, but unfortunately he is having trouble locating this exact...

I have already used the google search and are fairly familiar with them. I still have a couple questions that I haven't seen addressed. The answers to these questions will determine which model I'll get. I plan to mount it on a stock Rem. 5R MilSpec to gain about 0.5" of height. I'd like to...

I read the "Ring Height Info - How to measure correctly" thread tacked at the top, but I have no experience mounting scopes and wanted to confirm my findings before I order rings. I'm mounting a Vortex PST 4-16x50 onto a Rem. 5R using a Badger 20 MOA base, Butler Creek caps, and wanting to use...

What trigger is CNBC claiming is at fault, the 40X, X-mark, or ...? Anybody care to elaborate with technical details regarding these misfires? Maybe I should just go ahead and get a Timney or Jewell just to be on the safe side. For those that haven't heard about it...

Got a $15 apple gift card and want to use it towards a ballistic app for iphone. Can't decide between Ballistic: FTE or BulletFlight: M, Military. What are the major differences and which is more user friendly?

Anybody seen this? http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vort...ith-mrad-clicks I was playing around on the Vortex site as I wait for my PST and came across this. It seems like a niche item, but could be very nice to have for those who have already doped their rifle and don't plan to do...

Re: Did they jack up the price on Bushnells? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: coldboremiracle</div><div class="ubbcode-body">650 is still too much for a bushnell. </div></div> Well then how much will you sell me one for?

I've been waiting for the Vortex since March and was told today that they will be delayed until late August. I've had a 5r ready to roll since the beginning of June when it was originally supposed to be delivered and I'm beginning to get antsy. My back up has always been the Bushnell 4200 3-12...

Re: How to mount a base or professional install? I can definitely see the benefits of permanently epoxying the base to the receiver. It would help a lot with bending moment during recoil. Resale value isn't a concern with me. Baring some sort of financial disaster, I'd never sell any...

Thinking about having my new 5r stock dipped in multicam. I had bookmarked Lakota Corp, but the website doesn't appear to be working. Are they still in business? If not, who's reputable? Also, I've never done much tinkering with bolt guns before. Does removing the action from the stock and...

Re: How to mount a base or professional install? I had read about bedding bases but was wondering if it was really necessary. This is a Badger base going on a Remy 5r, so I figure I might as well try to squeeze out every bit of it. Looks like a stupid simple process. I'll follow that murphy...

Building up my first bolt action rifle and my base should come in Monday. I've never mounted a base before, but want to do it right. Is this something that could be easily done myself or should I have it done? I don't want to mount it crooked or have it loosen up and have to deal with it...
