Re: Question for Rem 700 + AICS owners. Hi LC, Thanks for the help, appreciate it! Cheers, Russ

Hi All, I'm thinking about buying an AICS chassis for my 700 LTR, but have a quick question about how they work: I have a problem with my current rifle, in that it's looking like one of the rails on the receiver has worn down a bit, causing the first round in the built-in magazine to pop out...

Re: Rem 700 LTR - feed problems, any thoughts? Hi Dave, Flight: Flight's right about my magazine configuration - it's the standard fixed magazine you find on most of the 700s. Dave - you've given me something to think about though, with respect to the metal rails that keep the rounds in the...

Hi All, I've been shooting a 700 LTR in .223 for the last couple of years now, and it's always worked great. However, it recently started having some kind of feed problem and I'm at a loss to figure out why. This is with the stock magazine, I don't have a DM or any other mods made to it... If...

Re: Winter - keep a rifle cold, or bring it inside? Thanks for the replies and insight. I feel better about leaving it out in the cold all the time now. One thing I've noticed about my Remington 700 is that if I leave the bolt open and it's out in below zero temperatures overnight, the...

Re: New coyote rifle pictures Awesome. The .243 is a great gun for coyotes - little hard on the fur, but you're not going to have many runners ;-) I'm hoping to get a .243 next year, as I've had to many runners with the .223 over the last couple of years and would like something that has a...

Re: Remington .223 need help deciding You can't go wrong with the LTR - I've had one for two years now, and it shoots between .25 and .5 all day long at 100 yards. It's my go-to coyote gun for winter hunting - small, light, and deadly accurate. I don't think you can do better in terms of a...

Hi All, I do a lot of winter hunting, so I end up leaving my rifle in the trunk of my car in pretty cold temperatures. I've always been under the impression that leaving the rifle out in the cold is better than bringing it back indoors every night, because it gets covered in condensation if I...

Hi All, I've got a remington 700 in an H.S. precision stock. One of the problems I have is the sling mounts keep coming loose. I've tried a couple of different two-part epoxies, the most recent being some kind of "iron weld" adhesive, which worked good for about 3 months until it broke loose...

Re: Sued my friend today...could use some help You might want to think about whether or not it makes sense to file a suit in the first place. Obviously, this is not someone you want to have in your life, so if they only owe you a few hundred dollars then it makes sense to just consider the...

Re: Deer Capable Caliber for a Small Child This post is quite a coincidence - a friend of mine's eight year old just shot and almost killed one of the other kids in the neighborhood just a few days ago.

Hi All, I'm thinking of getting a new barrel put on my LTR, but have little to no clue about the choices that are out there. I was hoping some of you more experienced folks could make a suggestion or two if I give you the base criteria: 1. I'd like to start thinking about shooting the 75 grain...

Re: I know its a dumb ? but really could use a answer Hey Placebo, No such thing as a dumb question with respect to reloading - safety first, ego last. The brass doesn't care what weight the bullet is, as long as the caliber is right. Cheers, Russ

Re: Do I need an expander/flaring die for .223? Hi Chris, Thanks - I'll check out that tool as well. Cheers, Russ

Hi All, Currently, when I'm seating bullets on my LNL press, I have to hold the bullet on the cartridge as it rides up into the Forster .223 seating die that I'm using. The die has a sleeve which is nice because it seems to seat the bullets straight as they ride up and into the die, but I'm...

Re: Confounded by H335... Hey Guys, Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts. I hadn't thought about the temperature issue that Grumpy pointed out, so I'll be sure to take that into consideration when I'm keeping my notes from now on - thanks! I'll try the CCI primers as well, and...

Re: Reloading 201: Other thoughts Hey Doc, I just want to say thanks for producing all of the reloading articles that you've posted here. As someone who is new to reloading, all of the information that you posted was invaluable to helping me have a safe and positive experience learning how...

Hi Gang, So I started reloading a few weeks back, and have been having a pretty good time of it - have learned a lot more about accuracy and shooting than I expected, and my 700 LTR is now definitely not something a coyote, or even a field mouse, would want to find itself on the other end of...
