    My M700 has a Shilen single stage trigger. I love the light pull and super clean break but I prefer a wider flat bow and a 2 stage trigger. Without breaking the bank or requiring a gunsmith what are my best options for a replacement thatll give me what I want. It does need to have a righthanded...

    Gunsmithing 700 Trigger ID

    Can anyone ID this trigger out of a R700? If it’s factory it’s been nicely tuned but I can find any markings on it at all.

    RPR .223 Proof Research Upgrade?

    My low budget RPR .223 trainer has steadily consumed far more then my initial investment intent: PRS, Timney, AO stuff, Atlas, etc. I just really enjoy shooting it and considering my local range is limited to 200y it just makes sense. Now I am focused on better reading wind which blows 20-30 mph...

    Rifle Scopes Base MOA verification formula?

    I’ve heard the factory base on the RPR aren’t always the 20 MOA as advertised, sometimes being almost half as much. Since I had mine off to torque and thread lock the mounting bolts I figured I would measure it. I have .0425” difference between the 2 ends. If the base is 7.25” long, what is the...

    Cleaning a Dial Caliper?

    I have a pretty nice stainless steel caliper that was given to me by a friend. I imagine he used it on hsi reloading bench for at least 30 years and I have had it for 10. Well, over the years it has gotten pretty gummed up with who knows what, probably gun oil or cleaning products mixed with...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Math

    If I go from a 20 moa mount to 0 moa mount on the same rifle, what adjustment to my elevation will be necessary to have the same POI assuming same distance (100y zero), ammo, conditions, etc? Scope is VXIII with target turrets .25 moa clicks iirc. For full credit please show your work.

    Rifle Scopes Verticle Split Rings Question

    I know the consensus here is that verticle split rings (mount), regardless of brand, are generaly an inferior design to horizontal. I am curious where this leaves those such as Spuhr SP 4001 that are cut on a 45*? I also would like a little background on the mechanics of why the the orientation...

    Ruger RPR 5.56 Mags

    So I picked one of these up the other day for $789 delivered. I thought this was a smoking deal and considering they have been discontinued, I figured if I wanted one I had better jump on it now before they are gone completely. I have read most of the 50+ pages of the RPR thread here but...

    AR-15 Reloading Frustrations

    So I have been reloading for bolt action for a couple years with decent success. Earlier this year I decided to start reloading for match quality .223 ammo for my SPR. To say its been frustrating would be a huge understatement. I am about to say to hell with it and just buy Prime or Black Hills...

    Inline Fabrication Ergo Handles and quick change mount plates??

    Ordered one each Roller Ergo handles for my Lyman and RC presses. Both presses are ambi but these handles dont appear to be. I didnt see an option for which hand when I ordered them on their website so I figured they would work either way. Having tried mocking them up, I dont think they will...

    .308 42.7gr Varget in LC Brass w/175gr SMK

    My AIAT likes 42.7gr of Varget and a 175gr SMK. I typically use commercial brass but just realized I loaded up a batch of LC brass with the same load not thinking of the difference in case capacity. Before I seat bullets in the 50 cases I have charged do I need to rethink this or can I expect...

    Chamfer - Deburr: Important?

    I am wondering how many here bother to chamfer and deburr following trimming of brass in general and if it matters what gun you are reloading for, ie cheap reloads for an AR versus single stage precision reloads for a bolt gun. It seems that more often then not brass I get advertised as fully...

    Definition of "Processed" ?

    I bought a bunch of .223 brass that was advertised as "processed 1x fired". I asked if it had been swaged and was told "yes, it was ready to load". Well upon delivery and inspection it clearly has been deprimed, resized, swaged and tumbled clean. It also appears to have been trimmed to length...
