Yes. The barrel is not exactly to spec as the M40. The M700SS w/ the R5 24" bull barrel is almost the same action and the same barrel as the the 40 specs. The stock is better on the M40 and the trigger is not the crap XMP on the M40 either. But pickup a M700SS R5 milspec, but a nice trigger...

I have heard the same about AO.. Good turn times and good selection of in stock barrels

Yeah, but was it FGMM .308 or FGMM 7.62 x 51. Federal says they're the same, but they're not.

Assuming there is higher pressure in that particular .308...that's possible but unlikely. You would usually see that type of problem in older rifles designed for 7.62 x 51. However, the neck placement and angle are slightly different between the 2, so if your tolerence is very tight on a gun...

FGMM 7.62 NATO does use a different case than FGMM .308. The primers are staked in the NATO rounds, not so in the .308 to my knowledge. The brass is dull in the NATO FGMM. It's polished in the .308. Federal claims on their website that the 2 rounds are loaded to create the same pressure...

Re: 7.62 nato vs 308 win I have really hit the books on this very subject. I am still unclear as to all of the specifics, but I feel confident in my knowledge of a few points. I really got curious when I bought two offerings from Federal. Both were Federal Gold Medal Match (FGMM). Both...

Re: FGMM .308 vs FGMM 7.62x51 Well all of this leads me to the following question: Why does federal make FGMM in both calibers if they perform the same? Is it just to appeal to H & K gas gun users?

Re: FGMM .308 vs FGMM 7.62x51 I think that the diagram that "The Great .308 post is very helpful". However, I think that it might not reflect the difference in FGMM .308 vs. FGMM 7.62. I think that the digram is comparing commercial .308 (i.e. FGMM .308) vs. milspec NATO rounds. I am still...

Re: FGMM .308 vs FGMM 7.62x51 So the consensus is that 7.62 x 51 FGMM is fine to shoot in a Rem. 700 .308. I have heard repeatedly that it is fine to shoot NATO rounds through a Rem 700 .308. But the above diagram seems to contradict that. It would seem that the cartridge in a NATO round...

Re: 308 168 grain bthp vs 175 grain smk 175 FGGM shoot very well for me. They're the same price as the 168's. Why pay the same for more limited range?

Re: Red Cleaning Patch? It's a sign that the GOP has officially nominated Romney. Spoiler alert: Florida's gonna go red. I know. Shocker.

Re: help w/ loading issue And now I just realized that there is some play where the spring attaches to the follower. I am assuming that the spring should be pushed all the way forward on the floor plate and on the follower. That would seem to be "fully inserted"

I have a Rem 700 SS R5 Milspec 24" bbl in .308. I dont have much experience with bolt action guns and I'm having a minor issue. i'm sure it's user error. After I fire, when I pull the bolt back, occasionally, it doesn't pick up a round as I slide the bolt back forward again. I'm guessing...

Re: All-around 9mm Handgun I've heard great stuff about all these guns. And I believe it. I chose a G17. It's not pretty. And it's not the most accurate (neither am I) But I chose Glock for the same reason I have an AK. Loose tolerances=rock solid reliability in adverse conditions. I...
