I'm in the process of building a PWS T-3 Summit build (toggle-bolt-style 10/22) and I'm looking for a adjustable target/tactical stock. It's not perfectly ideal, but I'd like to use it as a trainer. I've looked at virtually every stock that I can find and the only two stocks that seem decently...

I've got a 700 5R in .223 and have two questions: 1) Does anyone run 5.56 NATO through their 5R's? Or rather, is it safe? 2) I'm looking to upgrade my bolt (specifically the bolt knob), but I want to keep the original factory bolt in stock condition in the event I go to resell it later. What...

I've been looking for a .22 trainer to save money on ammo costs compared to my AICS .223 build. I noticed the ISSC SPA Target several weeks back and it looks to be a decent platform. With the AICS-style stock, it just might fit the bill as a direct trainer. Anyone have any inside info or...

An AICS 2.0 that I recently purchased did not come with the hex key the instructions stated it came with. I have another one that I can use, but I'd like to get an original one, just for the sake of having the original equipment that came with the chassis. Should I contact the dealer or AICS...

I recently purchased a few scope bases, a Nightforce, a Badger, and another one from a well-known manufacturer. The bottom of the Badger and Nightforce rails were smooth, with no visible machining marks whatsoever. The rail from the well-known manufacturer, however, had these machining lines on...

I was curious and couldn't find anything online. Is it standard mil-spec grade steel? Stainless? Also curious - what finish do they use on their steel, exactly? It doesn't feel like any of the traditional steel finishes that I'm used to seeing.

Hey guys, Working on second build (with a focus on being lightweight) and would like to go with aluminum rails. This rules out Badger and Nightforce. Who makes the best quality aluminum rail... and where can I get it from (preferably shipped same day)? =) Thanks!

Hey guys, I recently purchased a BO 0MOA rail (upgrading from a Nightforce rail). Upon opening the rail, the finish appears very rough compared to a Nightforce. The underside has some polishing/shiny spots and feels rougher overall. Is this common on Badger products? I don't care about the...

Hey guys, I got a 5R a week or two back. Out of the box, it had a small scuff on the side of receiver, going down past the side of the stock (where it couldn't be seen well), so I didn't think much of it. I installed it into an AICS this evening and, after switching stocks, it's much more...

I've got a 5R and a Badger 0 MOA base. I've read several posts and reviews where they say to bed the base... or at least use locktite to fill any voids between the rail and the action to prevent rust. Is it better to use the locktite? Or to actually bed the action? How important is either...

I'm strongly considering putting a high (1.375") Nightforce Unimount (with 20MOA cant) on my 5R so I can use my 3.5-15x50mm NF F1 scope across different rifles if need be. As far as bases are concerned, would I need a 0MOA rail? Or would the F1 be able to handle a 20MOA rail (for a 40MOA...

Hey guys, Just picked up a 5R via an FFL transfer tonight. The left of the receiver has a 1/8" wide light scuff about 3/8" long going down the side past the point where it enters the stock; it appears to be from the factory. It doesn't cut into the finish, it's just a light scuff. I'll post...

Hey guys, I'm wrapping up my first precision bolt action build, a Remington 5R .223 in an AICS with a NF F1 MLR. I'm also an AR shooter and have a precision Noveske build. The F1 will primarily stay on the 5R, but it would be nice to be able to transfer it to my AR if needed. I'm thinking...

Hoping to order them today. I checked SWFA, Primary Arms, and Eurooptic - all out. Does anyone else have them in stock? Thanks!

Putting this on a 10/22 VLEH with target barrel (.920). I'm ordering an EGW 20 MOA base for the receiver, so I don't know what the overall clearance/height I'll have over the barrel. Does anyone know what height Seekins rings will clear the barrel (with Butler Creek caps)?

I'm trying to find the correct ring height for a Weaver 3-15x50mm scope, mounted on an EGW 10/22 base. Anyone have that info? =)

After much research and debate, I'm going with the SWFA SS scope for my 10/22 VLEH. I'll primarily be using the rifle as a tactical trainer from 25-200yds (with the occasional 300yd shot) and paper punching. I want it to be effective as a tactical trainer (capable of changing targets and...

Recently purchased the Weaver Tactical Grand Slam 3-10x40, but haven't mounted it yet. I just came across the SWFA 10x42M (with side focus) and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a better choice. I looking to put this on a 10/22, shooting out to 200-250'ish. Any input? Would the SWFA be a better...

Hey guys... Guess this is my first post here, so "hello!" I'm pretty active on m4carbine.net and ar15.com under the same handle. I've decided that I need a bolt action to complement my collection. I've shot them before, but I've never actually looked into them seriously. At this point, I...
