What is the differences between the new 700P's being currently produced and the older ones? Do the newer ones have the Jlock bolt and Xmark trigger?

I just went out this weekend, I have some 75gr TAP ammo from my last AR build which was 1/7 twist and it shot fantastic. I thought I'd try it through my new savage 1/9 twist 26" barrel. I wasn't sure if it would even stabilize through a 1/9 after reading a few articles. Anyway it shot pretty...

Hello everyone I am new to the forums and wanted to see if anyone could answer my questions. I am currently running a 5:56 mile, I haven't tried to run a timed three miles yet though. I can do about eighty situps in two minutes and I can do four pullups, hands facing towards me. I am working on...

I have a load for the 308 with IMR 4895.. it shoots light out, I mean lights out, with ES in the low low single digits. However, I am a RL and Hodgdon fan and have little experience with IMR stuff. I've heard it is very temp sensitive. Looking for feedback as my temp swings can be... 40* in a...

So I got my first high power rifle. I've got the upgrade bug, but have a budget. I own a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 with the Hogue overmolded stock. I don't mind the stock, but the forend of it sure does flex. I was thinking of trying to make the forend a little more rigid by adding an...

My Grandpa gave me a Rem 700 series bolt in .300 savage before he died. It's difficult to find ammo for it and it is expensive as a result. I've been researching and looking at reloading, with this round at the top of my list. Anybody familiar with reloading .300 savage? I was wondering if dies...

Good morning all. Hopefully my first post will not be a total dumbass ?? but is there anything specifically unique to a SS scope that will validate the fact that thats what it actually is ? I know that its not a NF or luppy or S+B, but hell, they are counterfiting EVERYTHING nowadays. Its unused...

I have been blessed with a deal($250) on a new mcmillian htg stock. It has a barrel channel for a douglas #5. Is that enough barrel for a 338lm? I bought an action from a hide member to build off of, but I think I'm going to go with a Stiller instead so it will be back for sale soon.

I have decided after dry-firing and speaking with a few friends that I am going to stick with the OEM Remington trigger. At this point since I have the X-Mark, should I try and find the older style trigger? I have done extensive searching on here and found a few people using Neil Jones Custom...

Finally jumped into the bolt rifle thing. Figure it is time to work on something besides gas guns. My first order of business is machining down the bolt handle for a new knob. Then machining a 20 moa base for it. At the moment I have a couple of questions. 1. What is the average major...

Anybody have any experience with the GAP Tactical Intervention System Specialist Rifle?

TRG-22, S&B 5x25 Gen II XR. Near base, Badger rings. Started on barrel break in today. Thanks Alex for the Rifle, Carlos for the Scope, and Jon and Andy for helping me get some rings today. Question is, for any of you guys shooting these, what bullets have you had best luck with. I have 178...

What do you guys use for getting your reticles straight. I have tried the levels I have fought it for a long time and I got it last weekend and it appeared to be off again or even worse than before. It is a luep mark 2 I know its nots the greatest scope but i dont think it is the worst either...

Wondering if its worth it before I commit to it. Do you have to remove the scope each time you switch the barrel? Can you switch the barrel often or will this cause damage to the threads? Do you put anti-seize on the threads? Do/can the receiver and barrel need to have indexing marks? Will the...

I recently received my M24 from Texas Brigade Armory and have a couple of questions. The barrel is supposed to be a Mike Rock 5R Stainless Steel. When I look into the receiver, where the barrel was machined for the .308 case, it is nice and shiny just like stainless steel. At the muzzle end...

I just mounted my new USO ST-10 on my rifle, and have a couple questions. The scope seems to be set up by USO for a 20MOA down base, and centered for windage. It has EREK 1/4 MOA elevation knob, and US#1 1/4 MOA windage knob. Question #1: There are 6 hash marks on the scope body where the...

Just pulled the trigger on a new CZ452 Varmint .22LR and I can't wait till it arrives in a few days. I have a question about scope rings though. I purchased a Supersniper 16x42 Tactical Scope as well as a CZ 20MOA Scope Mount from rimfire technologies. My question is what are a few options as...

So I recently built my first precision rig (Rem 700 in .308) and I put a Bushnll Elite 3200 5x15x40 on it. I honestly like the scope and for the money it is hard to beat. Well, a few weeks ago I took a precision shooting class with a very knowledgeable instructor. He was commenting how the big...

Gents, I'm considering having a .223 built and I have a few questions: What is the heaviest projectiles that will fire from a .223 and what is the twist required for the heavy stuff? Is there currently a .223 bullet that works best for both hunting and target shooting (Amax/VLD)? What...

I am looking forward to buy a reminton 700 with an AICS stock. The problem is, I dont know which remington 700 model I want. I have been looking into the remington 700 p and sps models. What is the difference between those two models besides the stock and barrel length? I know that the sps...
