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...

I still new to this form and I just picked up a Rem 700 SPS (.223)Varmint with a 1/12 twist in a 26 inch barrel. My Question is; I would like to send it off to have it threaded for a can and I would like to have it cut down ass well to 18 or 20 inches. And I have seen AR15 barrels set up...
I hate to start a new thread as I am sure it has been covered I cannot find it however. What is the advantage to a one piece base instead of a two piece base setup? I am looking at mounting a scope on my new 5r 300 Win mag and dont want to go the wrong way and waste money. Lots of people seem to...
Is anyone here using a tapered base for a Remington 541. Currently my rifle is zeroed at 50yds which is also my max elevation. I have a ton of down but no more up and am thinking that an elevated base would get me where I need to be.
thanks in advance

Does anyone have means to snap a picture of Remington issue BDL bottom metal sitting in a McMillan stock that has been inlet for Williams bottom metal?
Thanks.
I finally broke down and ordered an SPS Tactical in .308 with the hogue stock. It should be here tomorrow. I've got a lot planned for this rifle, but not everything will happen immediately due to funds. The plan is to do a semi-similar build to an M40A3, but not to strict. Anyhow...
Right...
I have a Remington 700 SPS-V .308 that I bought brand new and has not been shot. I made up some dummy training rounds for me to practice cycling the bolt with Winchester brass and Sierra 165's. While doing drills today I noticed that the brass was getting scratched up the length of the body of...
I am gathering parts for my next build and am likely to be using another Rem 700 action as the starting point.
Cost aside what are the thoughts between using a recent action vs an older action?
Is there anything in favour of an older action from a metalurgical or original machining quality...
Looking for some advise on a couple starting powders for the 6mm Rem with a 107 on top of it. Later down the road maybe a 115. Im thinking 4350 or 4831 but wanted to get some ideas from the folks here.
Thanks...............
Hey fellas,
Looking to run some ladders for the following bullets:
175 SMK
210 SMK
220 SMK
240 VLD
If anyone has published Min/Max loads for H4350, I would be much obliged.
Thanks much.
A guy asked me to look at his rifle because it would only shoot 2.5" groups @ 100yds. I noticed the lugs have good equal contact but the side of the nose of the bolt (the dia in front of the lugs) is touching the side of the barrel.
Would this make a difference? Some where I was thinking I...
All my parts finally came and I got it put together. I do have to send the scope back though. The elevation locking knob was missing its roll pin and dosnt stay in place. Opticsplanet was very easy to deal with on the return and sounded dissapointed that I got a bum product. Locking knob aside...
hey i just built a 7mm rem mag with a thirty inch barrel that will be pushing 180 gr berger vlds for target shooting. im looking for a good reloading formula to get some good extreme range loads target loads out of this (1200+ yards) anybody got any ideas?
Trying to find a replacement firing pin assembly to dump a j-locked one. I have found countless manufacturers for the 700, but none for the 7. Any source other than Remington?
Can anyone identify the barrel contour of a non-magnum Model 7? I've found no luck searching.
Also, do the...
I was looking for some info on using Berger 175 vld's in my factory 5r Remington. I am currently using Win. brass Sierra 175mk 41.0g RL15. This load groups arround .5 in, but i am looking to hunt with this setup, and i wanted to try the Berger 175 VLD's (the ones designated hunting)as seirra's...
