Not the biggest deer in the woods, but the biggest I saw that day

I am going to give my Remington model 7 .260 to my son this year for his first deer rifle. So obviously I will need a new one for myself. I am going to stick with the .260 to keep the ammo the same . I am thinking either Tikka hunter or Remington 700 SPS. Looking to the brain trust hear to help...

I have a Remington 700 with a 20moa Seekins rail and low Vortex/Seekins 30mm rings . I had a Midway special scope with 44mm objective lens mounted on it. I felt the rings were too tall with that scope and I am now looking at a 32-40mm objective lens. What rings are a lot lower than Seekins lows...

Guys, I have a problem and I am no expert, so I am coming here. I purchased a 16.5 inch 700 AAC-SD several months ago and never fired it because I was waiting for my Manners mini chassis to show up before I mounted the scope. While I was waiting, LRI had the group buy on bolt fluting, so I sent...

So I have used Badger steel rings and bases on my last few builds . I want to build a lighter rig this time so I am asking the experts . Who makes a high quality aluminum base and rings ? This is a .308, so recoil is not a huge issue. TIA

Anyone have a manners stock in mud ? Just trying to get an idea of what color it is . Is it brown, tan, redish ? Thanks

Well I have been working on doing a budget build on my Remington 700 AAC-SD. Had Mark at SAC install a bolt knob, had a local smith time the RAD brake, and just ordered a B&C M40 sock yesterday . So today I get on GB and right there in front of me is a 16.5 inch AAC-SD ! I just had to buy it ...

Are Vortex and Seekins rings the same ?

So I had a Weaver 3-15X50 EMDR on my rifle and found it to be too heavy for my lighter weight build plan. Nice scope, but heavy .I am now leaning towards one of these Vortex models. 1st. is the Viper PST 2.5-10X44 EBR-1 MRAD . 2nd.Viper HS 5-15x44. Both seem to have good reviews. Which would you...

I am in the St. Louis area and there is a smith close to me by the name of Otto Matyska. His shop is called Otto-Comp. I was wondering if anyone here has had any bolt action rifle work done by Otto ? I have done a google search and I find rave reviews on him as a gun smith and I have seen a lot...

Any reason to choose one over the other for a build ? I mean two identically speced barrels ? Same rifleing, twist rate, etc.

OK, can an Atlas bipod be mounted on a stud, or do you need a rail ?

I have and love a Manners MCS-T. workiing on another rifle right now and have questions. How is the T2 for offhand shooting ? Is it more of a prone stock ? Thanks

Getting ready to send my barreled action to GAP for some work . Trying to decide between the Surefire brake , Titan brake, or no brake at all. The gun will be used for everything from hunting to target shooting. TIA

Is the bottom metal and trigger from a 5R any better than the metal and trigger from a SPS tactical or are they the same just silver ? TIA

Ok, so I have been reading all I can find and I am down to two scopes. Weaver Tactical and Vortex PST. The rifle is a 700 Tactical in .308 that will be used for everything, including hunting deer here in Southeast MO, where many shots are within 20-30 yards. So, of these two scopes, which one...

Looking at the barrels in the group buy. I asked about a 5r and they said they can only to 6 groove. Will I be giving up anything by not getting the 5r ?

I have been working on getting my build done. Some things came up and I needed to sell the NF scope I had for it. I am now looking at the Weaver 3-15x50. It seems to get good reviews , but there are several part numbers . I want Mil/Mil . Also , these do not come with a sunshade. Where can I get...

My local Cabelas is stocking these now. Is it a good scope ? Opinions from users much appreciated.
