    Pencil barrel Rem 700 in chassis or stock designed for a heavier contour

    I've got a Remington 700 that I would like to upgrade the stock on. It has a pencil barrel with about 2000 rounds of .30-06 through it and I'm thinking it may still have enough life in it that I don't want to replace it just yet. In the mean time, I'd like to put it into a Manners mini...

    Rifle Scopes LaRue OBR 7.62 Scope Advice - S&B 3-20x50 or 5-25x56?

    Also... I've read up on the MTC vs standard DT dials. It seems there is much apprehension surrounding the MTC (which is the stock configuration for the 3-20 and is an option for the 5-25). After I have become proficient at the 500 to 1000 yard range with the OBR, I will likely want to move...
