bolt

In the LR rifle/sniper matches, what percentage of shooters are running gas guns? Seems like the % is pretty low and was wondering why? Are there matches where gas guns are not allowed? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the gas gun v. bolt gun in these matches? I've got a GAP TIS in...

I have an FN SPR A2 with Issue Badger Rings and a Premier Heritage Scope. I want to install a badger ord tactical bolt knob. My concern though it the existing bolt knob is a bit tight already in relation to the ocular housing of the scope tube. Will this set up clear? I know it does on a...

How is the bolt arm attached to the bolt on a Model 700? Is it silver soldered?

Anyone using a Mini Red Dot on their bolt gun? Any pictures? Hwo do you like the set up? I was thinking about putting one on my .308 for the close shots, but it already weighs a ton. Thanks. -dan

I will be using Cerakote on a bolt action (Sako M995) and would like to know if the inside of the action is typically sprayed or masked off.

Well I went into a local gun shop yesterday to pick up some supplies and ended up walking out with this. Ruger 77/22 in .22lr, laminate stock with a 24" barrel. The barrel is slighty heavier then the normal 20" version. Finish is a stainless grey. I had been in the market for a 77/22 for a...

I've been having problems with sticky brass in my Remy 700 and hit the badger bolt knob a few too many times with my triad tactical rear bag. One really good pull on a stuck case and that sucker popped right off. I was pissed off and disappointed with the crappy way the badger is attached...

was just killing time at a local gun show, when I picked up a Rem .308 sps-tactical for $500. I thought is was a good price and had been really wanting a gun that could reach out to 500 yards or better (but I'm a poor college student). SPS-T .308 NCstar scope crappy base and rings Next...

I have seen several Tikka's on here w/diff. bolt knobs,does anyone know about the factory xxl handle and/or the larger factory bolt knob??Where can I get them??,Does anyone have a pic. of them?? Really want the factory ones.

I know I have seen these before, I think it was here. It was a Bushmaster bolt action in a Mcmill stock. It was in a link with some Bushy AR rifles and at the bottom of the page there were 2 diferent rifles. Pretty much the same rifle just diferent colors. I know I wasn't drinking but has...

Am I correct in saying that McMillan does not cut out a bolt removal space in the cheekpiece of their stocks. I've noticed it done on some Manners stocks. Could someone fill me in? as well , what adjustment type cheekpiece do most prefer from McM, ie saddle, thumbwheel,..etc. Thanks

Just got home, installed my Jewell on my new LTR per the instructions. Went to dry fire and it was GREAT at first. Then progressively the bolt got harder and harder to manipulate. Now, my rifle sits there and the bolt won't cock. Anybody ever see this issue?

what is the reason you own a 223 bolt gun? is it just simply that it is cheaper to shoot?

I was planning on painting a rifle. Is the bolt easy enough to disassemble that I can do it without too much difficulty or do I need special tools? It is a Winchester M70 push feed bolt. I was going to use duracoat. Are there parts of the bolt that absolutely shouldn't be painted? Rick

Shooting the rifle in a bolt up position as you might have to do with a low port (or under a car) that would not allow you see through your scope in the standard postion. There was an in depth discussion about this some time back, maybe 2 or 3 years ago. The topic came up again last weekend at...

let me see you flash hider mounted on your bolt gun guys, starting the paperwork on my new 762SD

Hey guys, I was wondering where the best place to send a FN(Win) bolt to get a new knob put on. I know that not everyone does them b/c they are harder to cut than a 700's bolt. Thanks for your help. -Dan

I have a rifle in the shop that UPS lost the bolt to.. it is a Lexus(I think will check in am). $3000 rifle is useless without it. Anyone maybe have a connection to someone that has a box of parts or anything??

How are they usually done? Are they fused to original handle? If so how? Is original bolt end cut off? IS the new end fabricated or bought?
