    10/22 vs bolt opinions needed

    I've got a 10/22T that is bone stock right now. From what I've gathered, it's shooting about as good as expected for not having any mods done to it. So here is my dilemma: Send it to here: http://www.ct-precision.com/ and have the full tune up, taper crown, and have the barrel threaded to...

    R+D Bolt Knob

    I had Randy install his Gen-2 bolt knobs on my Rem 700 and 40-XB trainer rifles. Wow, what a difference! I think this photo shows how much easier this mod makes it to cycle the bolt -- imagine the delicacy required to articulate the bolt past that scope objective with just the little Remington...

    Gunsmithing DPMS .308 bolt catch pin problem

    I finally got all the parts and pieces to assemble my DPMS .308 SASS. After everything was put together, my bolt catch lever wouldn't depress and lock the bolt back. The DPMS lower takes a hex-head screw instead of the normal AR type roll pin to keep the bolt catch lever in place. Well, I...

    Liberty Bolt Knobs?

    Whats the general consensus on these. I have one uninstalled but I think I like the Badger better. I think the bolt handle would just be to long with the liberty.

    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...

    Rifle Scopes Scope rails for bolt action .308s

    Hello all, I apologize if this was asked already... Pretty sure it has but can't find it using search function. For a .308 bolt gun, is there a need for steel scope rails or is 7075 aluminum rails sufficient enough strength wise for a range/bench gun? Thanks.

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 Who does a Side Receiver Bolt release?

    Just like the subject says. I want a Huber trigger, but I have a stock Rem 700 action. I'd like to know of any smiths that perform this modification. If I assume GAP, and APA (Jered) do this would I be correct?

    Trying to decide on a 1/2 MOA bolt gun

    I'm looking into buying a new- off-the-shelf 1/2 MOA bolt gun in .223 or 22-250 for target and varmint shooting. I would go .308 however I only have a 100 yard range around here and .223 is much cheaper. I understand that the Remington 700 action is probably the most recpected and coveted...

    Two Stage Trigger for Bolt Gun?

    I just learned that two stage triggers may be found in bolt guns. I thought these were used in ARs only. ??? I will have an AR-15, AR-10, and a bolt gun or two. I would think it would be best to become familiar with just one type of trigger. Are two stages really available in bolt guns...
