    Another fantastic interaction with the Magnetospeed Customer Service

    I've unfortunately had to reach for help with my Magnetospeed due to a problem that I honestly hadn't seen mentioned before. I have the Sporter model and it would spit out Error5 and 6 constantly regardless of which spacers were used or how fresh of a battery I put in. Ryan from Magnetospeed...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife similar to this?

    Does anyone know of a knife similar to this one from a video game? It isn't exactly practical, but I'd love to have one similar in my collection.

    OCW Help Please

    4 shot groups in each (loaded 4 in case of issues, didn't have any so just shot all) These are 223 with IMR 4064. Group 1: 22.5 Group 2: 22.8 Group 3: 23.1 Group 4: 23.4 Group 5: 23.7 Group 6: 24 Group 5 confuses me mainly. I'm not sure what to make of these results.

    My Remington Tactical 223 16.5" - PICTURES

    I normally don't like to toot my own horn, but I'm just so excited and can't help myself. I recently purchased a Remington 700 Tactical in .223 with the 16.5" threaded barrel. I bought it to be a gun that will solely be used to practice at the range, so up to 500 yards and no further. I did this...

    Question about tumblers

    I currently use stainless pins from STM to clean my brass and I'm very happy with the results. However, I would like to change the process up a little by hand drying them, adding lube, resizing, trimming/chamfer/deburr, then throwing them into a media tumbler to remove any excess shavings/lube...

    Ideal throat length for 223 bolt gun

    I got a new R700 in 223 that ended up having too tight of a throat likely due to a worn out reamer used when manufactured. Remington offered to take it back and recut it themselves, but that would mean ~5 weeks without the rifle and the end result would be having too big of a throat. A local...

    Stupid question of the week. Lands too far away?

    I have an R700 SPS with the small contour 24" barrel. Until now, I have been just loading my 168s (SMKs and Berger Hybrids) to the same OAL as the FGMM. I don't load for maximum velocity so I figured that it would be okay. I tried taking a measurement of my chamber by lightly placing a bullet in...

    Cheapest rings/base you would get

    Having a debate with a friend. I'm a firm believer after experiencing cheap products that you should buy once and cry once. I use Seekins on my rifles. They have treated me well in the past and I have no reason to take my business elsewhere. Buddy is building a rifle and wants to go cheap on his...

    The pain of reloading

    Ouch! Hurts considering most of it is backordered. Haha.

    Has Magpul ever demonstrated interest in DBM?

    Would there be any interest in Magpul DBM or even PMAGs that are compatible with AICS DBMs?

    Remington 700 in 223. What barrel length is enough?

    I'd like to pick up a second rifle in 223 to fill the role of shooting at the range. My 308 will be sent over to Keith Johns at Phoenix Custom Rifles in a couple months to have it trued and changed over to 260 Rem. I figure that the 223 is very suitable for <= 500 yards, is cheaper to shoot...

    Is this normal after FL resizing (shoulder deformity)?

    This is on some of the cases after being FL resized. Something to worry about? This one has been fired maybe 3-4 times. Sorry for the bad pic, but it's hard to show on camera. The shoulder has those little dents all the way around on a bunch of the brass. It's Winchester 308.

    Camcorder as a spotting scope?

    It started with this video of a GAP 7wsm being shot at 2k which I'm sure most of you have seen (2:01 in video): Gap 7wsm at 2000 yards - YouTube I linked the moment where he tells us that he's recording that not through a spotting scope, but with an HD camera. I'm pretty impressed by how much...

    Rifle Scopes What can we expect from SHOT?

    I understand that no one here can really give me any answers, but I'd appreciate speculation just as much. What are the chances we will see some quality FFP optics in the $1000-1500 price range at SHOT show in January? The last time something came out in this range (that I saw) people swarmed...

    What caliber to convert 308 to?

    Currently have an R700 in 308. I'd like to have the rifle trued, have a Bartlein barrel put on and cut to ~20-24 and threaded for a can. I originally wanted to move onto a 7wsm and still want to do so based on ballistics (~1410 yards before subsonic according to load data from Nosler on 160gr SP...

    Can anyone ID this reactive steel target?

    From the Spartan 360 Tactical training videos: Lightning Fast Mp5 | Gas Mask | Timed Precision Shots - YouTube as an example. Zero is a beast btw. Really want that target or something very close.

    Need opinion on stock for Rem 700

    I'm a paper hunter. I probably won't get around to doing anything else for a while. I have a Remington 700 SPS in 308 (the basic one) that I want to change the stock on. I'm also buying a Timney 510 for it alongside the stock, but I'm having a little trouble deciding on the stock. I understand...

    Where should I position bolt-action rifle stock?

    This may be a stupid question to many, but is something that can easily be overlooked by someone like myself that has not grown up with firearms like many have. My problem is that while shooting from a bench, I am having trouble handling the recoil from my R700 308 probably due to improper...

    Rifle Scopes Having trouble figuring out which rings.

    Sorry to make another thread on this. I HAVE read the sticky on measuring to get the needed height of the rings, but am having trouble measuring due to the abnormal shape of my Remington 700 barrel. Gun: Remington 700 SPS 308 Win Rings: Seekins 4/6 Base: Seekins 1 Piece 6-48 Scope: SWFA...
