Re: Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications When I picked my first long(er) range rifles in the early 80's there was no internet. The only source of information I had was the large collection on re-loading manuals and gun mags that I had. I went into it with a fairly clean slate, few...

Re: New 7mm mag build Thanks, I went to the JBM site and ran a few calculations, and the results import directly into Open Office Calc Spreadsheet. Even the bold gets in with the correct columns laid out! But... I was looking more for something either PC (windows) or Linux based so I can...

I have a 70's vintage Winchester Mod 70 in 7 mag that has had the action and barrel recoil lug bedded. I REALLY like this synthetic stock. It recoils more like a 30-30 than a 7 mag, it's remarkable. My build is going to be for 1k yard shooting. My Q is, if I hog out the fore end (or chop it...

If any of you folks are actually using a 7 mag out to and beyond 1000 yards, and used some of the bullet drop software how accurate have you found the software to be? That said, what's the best of breed software? I ask because I only have access to at max 500 yards, and would like to...

Re: New build <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Swampbuck</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I would say 7mm Mag at around 3K will get you between 1800-2200 rounds. Maybe 2500 or so if you take your time between shots and don't heat it up too much...

I have an older Winchester model 70 XTR with a magnum bolt face that I'm going to build for long range (200-500 yds initially and possibly for use up to 1000 yds. later on) and have some issues to solve before I start. I am leaning toward the 7mag as I can launch some reasonhable ~160 grain...

Re: Nikon scopes? Barton: "Gnap, The NIkon MONARCH 8-32 is one heck of a scope. I do not own one but I have looked them over very carefully. The "glass has excellent clarity through all magnification setting's. What make and cal. of rifle are you thinking about putting this scope on?" Right...

I've used Nikon cameras for a long time, and now that they're into rifle scopes I'm interested in knowing if anyone has a 8-32x50 Nikon. At ~600.00 are they as good as their camera lenses in quality and durability? I currently have a Leupold and Trijicon 20x variables, but need another scope...

I'm looking to re-barrel a long action 70 which had a pencil thin barrel with a new target barrel in either 300 win mag or 7mm mag. I'm looking for recommendations on barrel makers who make and fit / install them.

Is there something about the model 70 that makes it unsuitable for long range work? I mean you never (or rarely) see someone building one for long range. What's the deal? I have an older 70 "Featherweight" in 7mag that may be fun to play with. The barrel is shot out but the rest is solid...

I bought this little rifle last week and wondered about breaking it in. I know the one shot clean routine for the barrel, but the bolt is pretty stiff operating, and the trigger while reasonably crisp still "feels" a just bit rough. Is there anything to be done to the bolt or trigger like dry...

Re: Savage Accutrigger Problem That "blade" is a PITA on my 10BA. I've had 4 or 5 occasions where the trigger was pulled PROPERLY and the hammer fell without hitting the primer. I read a blurb from Savage that the problem is caused by pulling the trigger sideways... nonsense. I TRIED to do...

Re: Rem 700 scope mount I guess I didn't make myself clear, I do that a lot nowadays :-) I know that MOA is Minute of angle, but how will a 20 MOA versus a zero MOA affect bullet impact?

Re: Breaking in a new barrel. Help me do it right! I was in an NRA "precision rifle" class recently with 18 LEO's and 18 had .308's two .223's. Is the 338 standard in your neck of the woods? I remember reading an article by Obermeyer rifle barrels that was pretty arduous. Here's what I...

I'm buying a Remington 700 VTR in .223 and I'm wanting a rail mount on it so I can put rings or open sights on it. One of the rails I saw says it is for a short action, but there are three check boxes on it. One "0 MOA" one "15 MOA" and another "20 MOA" The one I saw has the 20 MOA box...

Re: Remington 700 VTR or SPS tactical Niles, Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I don't mind a persnickity rifle... my 10BA / .308 took a few weeks to find a good load for it. As far as the barrel shape goes, I don't give a hoot about the contour as long as it shoots. I saw a...

I have three fine .308's (don't need another) but I want a bolt .223. Does anyone have a VTR or SPS in .223 that they can comment about? Y'know, accuracy, bullet weights they like, etc. I know that there are others to choose from but I've zeroed on these two and need opinions from owners of...
