Remington 700 Short Action Chassis Recommendations

I own a Rem 700 Magpul Hunter chambered in .308 Win. I have a Harris bipod attached to the forend but there's a large amount of flex in this stock. Any amount of cheek pressure on the comb is enough to temporarily twist the stock and cant the scope. I'd like to dump the Magpul furniture for something more solid. It's otherwise a surprisingly accurate rifle for the money.

Do you have any chassis recommendations for it? Primary use is punching paper at the range within 600 yards and I'll probably replace the cheap Harris with an Atlas CAL bipod at some point. Spending $1k+ for a high-end chassis seems a bit much for what was originally a $600ish rifle but if that's what it takes...

Thanks in advance.

Strelok Pro

Igor Borisov posted on the Strelok Facebook forum this morning that he and the Strelok ballistics app are being sanctioned by the state department based on the potential that the application is used by the Russians. I've been using the app for several years, and don't really want to find a new one, but it will probably disappear off of the app store.

I would imagine it is being used by the Ukranians also.......

Rifle Scopes Vortex LHT 4.5-22x50 VS Minox ZP5 5-15x50

I currently have a Vortex LHT 4.5-22x50 on my hunting rifle. I have an opportunity to buy a Minox ZP5 3-15x50 MR2 Reticle for about $1400. Has anyone used both of these optics on a hunting rifle? Which one did you like better?

I have the two Minox ZP5 5-25 with MR4 reticles on target rifles and they are great. I like the turrets and the glass quality is terrific. From my research, the MR2 reticle should be usable on low power. Aside from the weight penalty, non-locking turrets, and Minox's slow warranty process I don't see any negatives from upgrading to the Minox. My rifle is currently 7.6 pounds, with the Minox it would be about 8.2 which is fine with me.

Thanks!

Open Letter About U.S. Election From Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò

This man should be Pope. He certainly gets it and states it exceptionally well. I encourage all to read it.
in this election you must choose between two radically opposed ways of conceiving the government of your Nation: you are called to choose between democracy and dictatorship, between freedom and slavery.
On one side we have candidate Donald J. Trump, who, despite serious problems in his positions – especially in the matter of abortion and assisted procreation – has as his objective the common good and the protection of the fundamental freedoms of citizens. In Donald Trump’s America, every Catholic can practice their Faith and educate their children in it without interference from the State.
On the other side we have a candidate and a party that promotes everything that directly opposes the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church. In Kamala Harris’ America, Catholics – but also Protestants – are considered fundamentalists to be marginalized and eliminated, and their children are considered the property of the State, which arrogates to itself the right to lead them astray from an early age in both body and soul.
Look at your country! Your cities have become dumps filled with derelicts and criminals, drug dealers and addicts, prostitutes and robbers. Your schools are dens of indoctrination and corruption from kindergarten onwards. In your courts, criminals are acquitted, and innocents are imprisoned: new ideological crimes are prosecuted, while illegality is tolerated and encouraged.

Help with G series .308 Youth Rifle

Hit the gun show today and picked up several Remington 700's. One was a 700 BDL Youth in .308. 20" barrel, older...pre QR code, synthetic stock, matte blue finish, G serial # prefix, Walker trigger.

I'm trying to find some specs on this...barrel twist rate for instance, but also value because I haven't seen many youth models like this in anything other than .243 and most of those are ADL's.

Can anyone point me to a spec sheet or anything else? Given that I can't find much of anything on this...is the an unusual or relatively valuable variant?

“Destroyed” DEA guns /parts on the streets

Login to view embedded media

These firearms and parts were “destroyed “ 3 years ago - except obviously they were not .
The DEA claims the FBI handled the destruction of these frames and receivers - the FBI had an explanation

“We keep those in large bins in a cafeteria building , accessible to basically everyone “
Our bad we won’t that again . That’s the official narrative.


Stupidity and incompetence aside - it would be very helpful to have bins full of “destroyed “ firearms to arm- I don’t know - next school shooter - or whomever can aid in the narrative.

28 Nos Flattened Primers

For some reasons my 28Nos always seems to flatten primers. Load on the low end, or at the top, doesn’t matter. No other pressure sign, just pancaked primers.

Worndering if this is just a thing with 28Nos? They are a pretty high-pressure cartridge.

Using Peterson Brass, 175 berger elite hunters, WLRM primers, Retumbo. Loads range from 75gr at 2920fps to 79gr at 3080fps. All primers flat.

How to think about categories of "accurate" rifles?

<newbie, apologies in advance for any stupidity>

Wondering how folks think about what I am beginning to see as four "categories" of elr bolt action rifles. For context, I am looking to get into long range shooting after a bit of a drift off into mostly pistol related sports and activities. I am trying to judge the value tradeoff and decide what to buy. Would appreciate thoughts on how to think about this if accuracy vs. price is my only focus. I am willing to spend $3-5k or so if I am really getting better accuracy than say an RPR, don't care (much) about weight, appearance, custom colors, etc. Expecting to shoot in the 1,000 yard range mostly.

1) Your basic bolt action like the Rem 700 and clones. Sub $1,000 off the shelf. Sub 2 MOA maybe out of the box? I have one of these already.

2) Factory rifles designed for elr shooting, but "low end." RPR. Christensen MPR. etc. Right around the $2,000 mark +- $500. Sub 1 MOA out of the box?

3) Factory rifles, but high end. Christensen TFM. Tikka. AI. Barrett, etc. Typically >$5,000. Maybe sub 1/2 MOA? The TFM is "guaranteed" < 1/2 MOA.

4) Hand made custom rifles from one of say a dozen top class high end builders. Probably would buy one used here, looks like $3,500 - $10,000 is the range.
