    Gunsmithing Learning how to rebarrel rem 700's?

    Re: Learning how to rebarrel rem 700's? The $3k grizzly gunsmithing lathe is probably the best value in a lathe... it'll definitely do what you need for barrel work. Old american iron is great, but more often than not you're buying problems. My big manual lathe is an old clausing 6300 that...

    Gunsmithing Learning how to rebarrel rem 700's?

    Re: Learning how to rebarrel rem 700's? Dennis has it exactly right... The cost of getting into machining is not an easy thing to put a number on. You can buy a lathe that's capable of smith work for ~$3k or so, but do you know what it's going to cost to tool it? Rule of thumb is the cost...

    Gunsmithing Using used barrels

    Re: Using used barrels yea I think the key is what the barreling work would cost you. Personally, I'd take a cheap used barrel in a heartbeat, because I am trying to do my own work, and I'd rather learn on scrap than on a $300 high end barrel. But if I were paying a gunsmith for the work...

    Rifle Scopes cost for new reticle/knobs on a leupold

    Re: cost for new reticle/knobs on a leupold I figured that'd be the answer, but I really want to know what the actual cost is, because it's impossible to determine what the better value is otherwise!

    Rifle Scopes cost for new reticle/knobs on a leupold

    I've heard that you can send scopes to leupold and/or custom reticle companies and get the reticle and the knobs changed out... what does that typically cost? I have a 8.5-25x VX3 with the varmint reticle and 1/4 moa knobs... if I wanted to have it modified to be mil-dot and tactical 0.1 mil...

    O.K. I'm pumped!!

    Re: O.K. I'm pumped!! hehe I understand the 3 shot group... I'm always terrified of screwing up a good group, which I almost always do on the fifth shot, so I have a tendency to shoot three shot groups Case in point, last time I took my 22-250 out at 300yd (win mod 70 varmint, bone stock)...

    first build(s)... should be interesting :D

    I have a handful of things that I want to do... I have a couple of ARs in 300BLK plus a 762SDN6 for them, and I really enjoy those, but I want to see how it does in a bolt gun. I have a cheap 700ADL in .223 that I bought specifically to rebarrel to 300BLK, but I'm waiting on PTG to grind me a...

    new rifle caliber choice

    Re: new rifle caliber choice I primarily shoot a 22-250 for "long range" (which for me right now is 300yd), but I'm working on building a 30-06 in a straight taper #7 barrel... it oughta be a heavy enough rifle that recoil should be reasonably tame. I've toyed with the idea of later...

    new rifle caliber choice

    Re: new rifle caliber choice I've been looking at 300 RUM lately, and it seems like a very good choice vs 338. It's much cheaper to get into, and the ballistics calculator I use suggests that 300 actually is flatter than 50 or 338 to 1000yds and beyond. Naturally, it's not going to carry...
