I have a new Bergara B-14 Wilderness I am breaking in. I want to mount a Nightforce 20 MOA scope rail to it and had a question on release compounds. I usually see folks recommending shoe wax to spread on the receiver to release from the JB Weld (plus Play Doh in the screw holes). I have a tin...

Well, I have a die question for a new build I’m doing. I have taken a Rem 700 I bought for cheap (and put a few hundred rounds through), had my local gunsmith remove the barrel and am going to do a Remage conversion. The barrel I bought is a Criterion 6mm BR Norma from NSS. This will be used...

I finally got a Hornady OAL gauge and threaded cartridge. In figuring out the distance to the lands on my R700 in 6.5CM using a Hornady 140 ELD-M, it was 2.176". I then tested different CBTO lengths starting .010" off the lands. Went fine. Now I am using the gauge to determine the CBTO of...

Selling my Remington R1 Carry in .45 ACP. It's their full size 5" 1911. From the factory, it has the frame and slide dehorned, ambi thumb safety, 25 lpi grip checkering, Novak sights, beautiful cocobolo grip panels, original box & papers and 2 factory magazines. Feeds all the ammo I've sent...

I am working up loads for my new 6.5CM Rem 700 ADL Varmint (26" HB, Bravo Stock, TT trigger, Vortex optics). One odd thing I've noticed is that when I seat the 123 gr. Hornady ELD-M bullets, after seating there is a light ring around the circumference of the bullet about 1/3 of the way down...

Recently read that US Optics is coming out with the TS-20X riflescope. Looks interesting and very nicely priced for a USO scope. Anyone know anything about this one?

I have a new R700 I bought a week ago that I’m going to be putting into a new stock, new trigger and optics. I have a TPS scope base for it and dry fit it last night to see if I might need to bed it. From the fitting, I have three questions: With the front two screws screwed in hand tight, I...

I currently have a 20” Rem 700 SPS Tac in .223 that I’ve used out to 300 yards. It was one I bought with the Tupperware stock and built it up with a KRG Bravo stock, Timney 510, EGW base, TPS TSW rings and a Vortex PST II 5-25 scope and shoot 75 gr. BTHP Hornady bullets through. Set up like...

I thought I would tap into the brain trust here to enlighten myself a bit. I currently reload .223 for my Remington 700 SPS Tac (in a Bravo stock, Timney 510, etc.). I did OCW testing and came up with 23.0 gr. of TAC under a Hornady 75 gr. BTHP. Can consistently get 0.5 MOA groups. So the...

Selling my Bell and Carlson Medalist stock for a SA Remington 700 rifle. It is black with grey webbing. Had a .223 Rem 700 SPS Tac mounted in it. It is like new, no dings or marks (see pics). Will ship in original box too. Great way to improve on one of the tupperware Rem 700 stocks! Free...

My current bolt gun is a Rem. 700 SPS Tac in .223, housed in a B&C Medalist stock. Although I have a Harris bipod, most of my shooting at my club is off a bench. While they provide sand bags (in somewhat inflexible plastisized bags that previously held 25lbs of shot), I'd like to get a front...

So, I'm kind of intrigued by the 6.5 Grendel. A great little round shooting out to 300 and 600 yds., great barrel life, low recoil, easy to reload with high BC bullets, etc. Not a whole lot of choices when it comes to rifles that are chambered in it though (Savage, Howa, Ruger, CZ). The...

I have a Rem 700 in .223 that I reload for. I've begun developing 75 gr. BTHP and 68 gr. BTHP loads for it. I have some PMC brass that has been fired three times in this rifle. If I want to bump the shoulders back .001-.002", how do I determine the final length when I have brass with different...

I was just reloading some 45-70 rounds with a new powder which uses extruded granules (H4198). I noticed in my RCBS Uniflow powder measure that when rotating the arm to drop powder, it sometimes feels almost stuck until I give it a good pull down and feel a crunch of sorts as I pull it down. It...

I have a bunch of once fired PMC .223 Rem cases. They were fired in my BCM AR in 5.56//223. I thought since they are .223 cases, I could resize them in my Forster FL resizing die and they should fit my Rem 700 .223 that I have and reload for (I don't reload for the BCM AR). So, I deprimed the...

I currently own a Remington 700 SPS Tac in .223 I use at the club I belong to to shoot paper and steel. The club has 25 – 200 yd. ranges. I have found that Hornady 75 BTHP Match ammo will group around ½” MOA out to 200 yds. if I do my part. I have taken the original Tupperware stock off the...

I have a Rem 700 SPS Tac in .223 that I've just began to shoot. I am looking to replace the OE Hogue stock that came with it as it's too flexi to mount a Harris bipod. I am looking to get a B&C stock, probably a Medalist, but can't for the life of me find any stock dimensions. I am looking to...

Well, I picked up a new Rem 700 SPS Tac in .223 last fall and shot 60 various rounds and couldn't get the thing to group worth a damn. It is topped by a Vortex 5-15x44 (Midway special) SFP Mil Dot scope, TPS rings, and a 0' rail. Those first 60 rds were some Amer. Eagle, PMC, etc. ammo, none...

Well, continue to build up my first LR precision rifle, and just got my TPS 0' alloy scope base from the man in the brown truck. Per all the information I've read about bedding a base if it's not level, I mounted the TPS base on my .223 700 SPS Tac with only the front screws. Looked for a gap...

I am building a new LR rifle, and think Midway USA's special addition of Vortex's 5-15x44 mil-mil side focus scope would fit the bill (and budget) perfectly for this noob. They're currently out as this is a seasonal run. Anyone have any clue as to how often each year Midway offers this scope...
