    Sako TRG 22 Muzzle brake

    You can use it but it's not as effective. I believe the one you are looking at is only for the .30 cal version, I believe the .338 is different. Is your heart set on the Sako TRG muzzle brake, you may want to look into aftermarket brakes and remember your thread pitch when purchasing. There are...

    Need prs action help

    I wouldn't say it's industry standard but the reason why is a two lug design versus a three lug design. Most of the popular custom actions are similar to a Remington 700 action due to popularity in aftermarket parts. Usually 90 degree bolt throws are a little easier to open than 60 degrees (this...

    Shooting my first comp

    Testing if Tapatalk is working. Match Director can tell you what you need. Basics are Precision Rifle, sling, bipod, Data(D.O.P.E.), backpack, ammo, support bags(i.e. Rear bag), and eyes and ear protection. As a new shooter people are more likely to help you out if you don't have certain...

    New shooter, looking for first rifle

    Honestly, if you have a chance to feel the guns before you purchase one that would be the way to go. Getting a gun that you are comfortable shooting is important in my opinion. If you can't seem to get comfortable behind the rifle you are going to have a problem shooting it. You have $7k to use...

    Stock options for Remington 700 .308 Milspec

    Stocks can be opened up to m24 inlet, provided they have enough room which most do. Let your gunsmith deal with the bedding they will most likely use marine tex or devcon. It's doesn't matter if you use a chassis block or pillars if you bed. But removing skim bedding from a chassis kind sucks...

    Stock options for Remington 700 .308 Milspec

    Stock options for Remington 700 .308 Milspec He does not need pillars with an aluminum block. The block replaces what the pillars do. Most stocks don't have a block. Those that don't need pillars to take stress out of the stock and be repeatable, now glass bedding adds further reinforcement...

    Stock options for Remington 700 .308 Milspec

    Contour 5r has a varmint, the barrel was originally going to be put on an m24 but they turned it down and put it on the 5r. I think that's where you are getting it confused. Ok an aluminum bedding block is sufficient for a rifle. Manners has one, AI uses them, KRG uses it, basically all chassis...

    Growing up from .22LR rifles and into my first .308. Rem 700 XLR carbon

    Reloading takes time. Check out the class at the range I'm sure they could help you get started. Also talk to the guys at CaPRC they could help you get started also.

    Tikka tac, savage 110ab, tikka Vermint super

    For target shooting. Moving from a 243 to a 308 is a step backwards ballisticlly. You gain barrel life that's about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tikka tac, savage 110ab, tikka Vermint super

    Don't need to go magnum to go out to a grand. The .243 could do it also, I wouldn't say it's a short range gun either. Is this for hunting also or just target shooting. The .243 actually shoots flatter then the .308 which could make it a little easier, less recoil also. I wouldn't limit the .243...

    Rem 700 tips/tricks/advice for a new LR shooter?

    And now I see your other thread. Do what Moses said just buy the MCM A4 with the channel opened up for the m40 contour barrel but before you start purchasing anything, read as much as you can. It seems like you don't have a ton of information yet and you just bought the gun. I agree with what...

    Average cost of rebarrel?

    Not sure when you started, but it may be awhile before you shoot out that barrel. Definitely read up on what you truly want. If you want to make a m40 copy, by all means go ahead and build it that way. There is a plethora of information on this site concerning building a rifle, including...

    Gunsmithing Any gunsmiths low on work?

    +1 Longrifles Inc. Probably not low on work seeing how many GB remingtons he has done. In any case doubt you will have to wait too long, from when you send your stuff in.
