    I just bought a factory take off barrel to replace my sporter barrel my rifle came with. Can I do the job my self or would it be better just to take it to a gunsmith?

    AR-10 mags in a 700?

    It may not be the brightest idea, but in the interest of making everything interchangable, has anyone tried feeding a 700 from AR-10 mags? Is anyone out there building bottom metal to allow it?

    700 yard comparison. 338 LM and 308 win.

    Can someone who owns comparably equipped versions of each tell me their feelings on the subject? I had a TRG 42 in 338 LM and I sold it ( ) because of the general consensus that it was a waste of powder inside 1K. I use my GAP 308 for everything now, because my range maxes out just shy of 700...

    Gunsmithing Make your own Remmy 700 Firing pin tool

    Final fixture here, It is made of 1/4" 6061 T6 flat plate with angle bolted to it. Everything else was trial and error junk I made my own because I'm a cheap ass. It's really simple, I used two pieces of 2"x4"x1/8" aluminum angle from my shop, some scrap wood, and a piece of 1/2"...

    Gunsmithing Canjar trigger on new 700 SPS?

    OK, so today when I ordered my HS precision stock for my 700 I picked up this old Canjar trigger. I REALLY do not like the X-mark trigger that came with rifle. Anyway, my stock will be here Tuesday and I was going to see if this trigger would work in my rifle. I just don't have any idea if...

    Switching barrels on a Remington 700

    Hi folks. I have been using the search function for the past few hours trying to figure out if I can take a Remington 700 in 6.8, and switch out the barrel for one in a different caliber, using the action that is in the rifle? I thought I saw a thread a while ago where a member was thinking of...

    Anyone have a pre-xmark safety assembly they want to sell me? I just bought a trigger off of Gunbroker that is missing the sear spring and has the old "bolt lock" safety. On the gunsmithing side of it, would there be anything wrong with just cutting off the bolt lock lever on the safety and...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 Bolt Torque on decocked bolt lift

    I've been working on my shooting technique, but I'm having what seems to be excessive torque on the bolt lift once I've fired a round. I tried to keep my cheekweld and lift the bolt and I felt a slight pop in my shoulder- burned for about 3 hours. What is causing this added torque during a...
