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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi All, I have a 700 LTR that was made in 2008. I just started reloading for it and noticed that my primers are cratering no matter what load I put through it. There are no (other) signs of excessive pressure, and this is happening even with minimal powder loads... I read on another site that...

Hi All, First off, I'm extremely new to reloading - just started this week, so maybe this is a dumb question, but here goes: I loaded up a bunch of .223 in different powder charges using H335 for some and Benchmark for others. All of these had the same COL, same bullet, same brass (give or...

Hi All, So this weekend I finally opened the Hornady LNL press I've had sitting in the basement. Unforunately, as I was setting it became apparent that Hornady's idea of precision machining is a little different than mine - at least with respect to this particular unit. To make a long story...

Hi All, Can any of you 700 LTR owners recommend a 0 MOA rail and ring combination for mounting a 50mm objective on said rifle? I just got my new Viper last week and already had some Leupold rings on the rifle so I just went with those for the time being. I'd like to upgrade the mounts, but...

Hi All, I have a Remington 700 LTR in .223. It's the first Remington I've owned and it shoots like a laser so I'm pretty happy with it. There's one thing that's been driving me nuts, and that is that it doesn't like to eject casings unless the bolt is brought back real quickly... I was...
