    Remington 700 Recall on X-Mark Pro Triggers

    I emailed Gravel right after posting my comment. They emailed me back this morning, and in the email they gave a partial incomplete list of the Canada Post shipping requirements, said they have sent thousands of firearms in boxes, and if Canada Post won't accept it I am just supposed to make...

    Remington 700 Recall on X-Mark Pro Triggers

    An update on my experience from the northern wilderness in Canada. I received a prepaid return mailer box from Gravel Agencies QC. It is nothing more than a cheap corrugated cardboard box 49x7x3.5in with a styrofoam insert. I packaged up my firearm, placed the bolt into the separate section in...

    Remington 700 Recall on X-Mark Pro Triggers

    Someone here with a good DSLR should take a set of clean well-focused shots of the original XMP trigger, send the rifle out for the recall repair, and then take shots of the replacement trigger when they get it back, and post them so we can see what if anything is actually being done. On...

    Green lasers temperature concerns and operating.

    This is probably too much information... There are too many factors to give a quick easy and precise answer for how long it will last. 0F is not as simple as 0F: relative humidity and dew point (condensing), windchill, etc. will factor in. The design of the Laser unit will determine its...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint pro?

    This is only my personal opinion... I own an Aimpoint PRO (red dot), an EOTech XPS2 (holographic), and a Leupold Prismatic (red dot, some might classify as a mini scope). IMHO They each have a slightly different usage and a very different eye picture when looking through them. I have...

    .300 Win Mag

    Sorry, I should have put a smiley in there, that was meant in jest and not serious. :-) I was not expecting to be bashed, but perhaps a few "gosh, you paid $6500 for that?" responses. Yes, it really hampers my hobbies. I have to be really choosey about what I buy since I don't have disposable...

    .300 Win Mag

    I am in Canada, where prices can be as high as Australia, and good components and good gunsmiths are probably just as rare. Compared to prices in the USA we pay through the nose. Prices can often be 30%-50% higher or more here for the exact same item (30% on $5000 is a lot extra), plus 12% tax...

    Hi from cold north-east BC

    Thanks for the offer. I don't get to the US too often. If I am traveling down your way I'll be sure to connect.

    Hi from cold north-east BC

    Yes, unfortunately I have to travel a long way to get to any ranges, or to find anyone who goes out and shoots.

    Hi from cold north-east BC

    Thanks. "Beat" as in the precision rifle specs? Or my age? ;-) Unfortunately prices here in Canada are substantially higher than the USA, so my firearms hobby is an expensive one.

    Hi from cold north-east BC

    Hi everyone. Old geezer in my 50's. Live in a very small city in freezing and snowing north-east BC. Received my first firearm before my teens sometime around 1972, a Cooey Model 39 .22 rifle. Prefer rifles over handguns. Prefer expensive quality toys. Have many rifles in numerous calibers...
