    Bergara B14 HMR trigger, Triggertech Special?

    Why not replace the heavy firing pin spring with a lighter spring? Is the firing pin too heavy for a lighter spring?

    Rifle Scopes Rem 700 Upgrade Scope Base to 8-10 Screws - Needed? - DIY?

    Thanks for the good information... I do like building my own rifles... I built an AR-15 about 8 years ago and built two AR-9's to shoot in USPSA's PCC division... I just don't know a lot about bolt action rifles... They are more complicated than I was expecting. I checked on the factory...

    First I have heard of a Remage style barrel... Did a bit of research and found out they they seem to be a Remington 700 barrel adapted to use a Savage barrel nut... Interesting... Do most high end bolt guns use the Remage style barrels?

    All good comments... Thanks for answering... I built my first AR-15 years ago and it shot well, but it took a long time... My plan this time is to buy a complete rifle... Was thinking if I could just drill and tap the scope holes and buy a scope base with holes for 8-40 screws, that I would...

    Rifle Scopes Rem 700 Upgrade Scope Base to 8-10 Screws - Needed? - DIY?

    Thanks for the well thought out answer... As you can tell, I am very new to bolt action rifles... My plan is to buy one of Remington's 5-R Gen II 6.5 rifles... Planning to use a Seekins scope base because it has the recoil lug you mentioned and they offer models for both the 6-48 and 8-40...

    I'm planning to put together a Remington 700 rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor for possible PRS shooting... I'll be using a fairly large scope... Something with a 34mm tube and a 56mm objective lens. Is it necessary to upgrade the scope base mounting screws to 8-40 for a heavy scope like this? I'm...

    Looking for fellow Remington 700 5-R Gen 2 Owners!!!

    Thanks for the info @wade2big I was confused because Buds Gun Shop has both the Tan and Green rifles listed as: Remington 700 5-R Gen 2 6.5 CRD 24" 4+1 Synthetic HS Apparently the green Rem 700 rifles are actually Gen 1's, not gen 2's... I'm going to a gun show in a couple of weeks and want...

    Looking for fellow Remington 700 5-R Gen 2 Owners!!!

    Planning to buy a Rem 700 5-R Gen 2 rifle... Was curious to find the difference between a Gen 1 and a Gen 2... Looks like it's just threading and fluting the barrel... bolt knob and cerakoting the barrel... So if a 5_R has a threaded/cerakoted barrel it is a Gen 2? Remington makes both a...
