Interesting, everyone I've heard reports on Bergaras accuracy is that they are good (for a factory rifle, of course). I think the trued action from NSS is a really solid choice for a build; you could also get the 20" remage barrel from them (though there are plenty of other places that you can...

First, welcome to another wisconsinite! I'm a little interested in hearing what range/club has a 600 yard range... But on to your questions. It sounds like you've got a decent setup, but the barrel is heating up quicker than you like. The main way to address that would be a heavier barrel. The...

Have you gotten this barrel yet, and if so was a shouldered prefit or what?

Did you end up ordering one?

I wonder what the local fur trader will give me for a dozen beanie baby pelts?

The Model 700 Mountain Stainless sounds like what you want. I don't know exactly what the contour is, but it isn't a heavy barrel, comes with a B&C stock (not sure exactly how it compares to the other B&C Stocks available, but it is bound to be better than the SPS plastic stock). The MSRP seems...

The 'standard' SPS stock, the plastic injection molded version, isn't a great stock for precision shooting, bench-rest shooting, etc. It has barrel pads in the forearm (in other words isn't free-floated), and it isn't the stiffest stock in the world. Then again, most factory plastic stocks...

Any pics of the rifle as it sits now? I don't know which features of the A5 are the ones that interest you, but I do know that Bell and Carlson, at least at one point, offered a stock for this rifle, and that Boyds makes stocks for it. I only see 'standard' style stocks listed for it, but my...

I had a VTR, and was unimpressed. Now let me say, it wasn't a bad rifle, but at the end of the day it shot a little better than my regular sporter barrel 700, but the muzzle brake didn't seem to do much to reduce recoil (probably because if you look at it, the rifling ends and the barrel...

There's a lot of good advice above. The choice of rifle brand is like Ford vs Chevy or any other such debate: there's advantages and disadvantages to any brand. Personally, I felt the easy availability of so very many aftermarket parts made the Remington 700 the right choice for me. It also...

The stock should fit without any modifications, and should fit better than the factory VTR stock, which isn't a particularly stiff stock. Both the better fit and a stiffer stock should improve accuracy. Bedding the B&C stock should give you even better accuracy yet. What sort of accuracy...

I'm not married to the fixed 10x part. In fact, almost every other scope I've ever had was a variable (usually 3-9) but my thought was that with the fixed scope, I'm (hopefully?) getting a higher quality scope for the money than a variable with all the other same features. Also, whenever I'm...

I'm sure this has been beaten to death before, but I'm thinking about picking a Bushnell Elite 3200 Tactical 10x scope. I'm just wondering if there are any other scopes in this sort of budget price range (~$200) that I should be looking at? This is going on a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in 308...

I picked up a section of counter top at a local recycler (Habitat for Humanity ReStore), then built a simple base out of 2x4s. When I made the base, I ran horizontal 2x4s around the base to make it more rigid, and so that I could later add a shelf. For that I just used a half inch sheet of...

Has the stripped, barreled action one been modified in any way? If not, I'd say put that one in the k98 stock (that currently has the butchered action). Then you've got two in original stocks, and two that can be made into something else... I always keep my eye out for a decent mauser that's...

If you read the story, apparently he had custom paint done on the car, and the custom paint was peeling.

Something is up with your links. They seem to go to a google analytics page which says I'm not allowed to see this content or it doesn't exist.

Have you slugged your barrel? Is there a particular type of ammo that it shoots well with now? If there is, I'd suggest measuring the diameter of that bullet as a good starting point. Personally, I've used IMR 4895, 150 grain bullets for .303 brit, and CCI primers. It seemed to outperform the...

Scalpers and hoarders. I see tons of it at every gun show I go to. Heck, a month ago, on a Thursday night, I bought a brick of Federal for 23 bucks at Fleet Farm. They had at least thirty bricks on the shelf, I bought one and texted a friend to let him know they had some (it was limit one...

As a similar age returning student staring down calculus, I'd love any tips on how to get 'caught back up'...
