    custom Rem 700 footprint actions, defiance rebel,stiller predator, pierce action?

    Ok, I've searched and read everything I can find on the Rem 700 custom footprint actions. Think I've got it down to these 3 (open to other suggestions in their price range $950ish). Already have a stock set up for the 700 short action, just need action that will drop in and barrel and trigger...

    pierced primers with moderate loads...

    The CCI 400 is known for doing that. Go to either a CCI 450 or the Federal BR or Rem 7 1/2 or Wolf/Tula Mag.

    Rifle Scopes Little to no elevation after zero

    I think what US Optics is saying has merit but only if you have windage adjustable base or rings. But as mentioned, zero is zero, doesn't matter where you started because you will end up at the same place. Some scopes do have less windage when at extreme elevation setting.

    Rifle Scopes Interesting observation with my SS 10x42M

    Was readin some old post and found this one. The answer is real simple, a lot of parallax adjustments are not exact. Even on target scopes I do the head movement and readjust the parallax til I get it all out. The 100 yd mark is just a close starting point.

    White Oak Barrels

    Barrelling a 308 or 30-06 M1a or Garand is entirely different from barrelling an AR. With an Ar all you need is a barrel/bolt combo and a wrench or two and a vise. The older guns require fitting the barrel to the action and existing bolt. They headspace differently. MUCH MORE TIME CONSUMING...

    To Rebarrel or Not - That is the Question

    Hmmm, don't think there is 2 lbs difference between the regular and heavy barrel. But I have never measured them. If it shoots reasonably well, I'd shoot out this barrel before rebarrelling. Depending on the current stock, you may be able to pick up some additional weight by going with a...

    Gunsmithing 700 action screws help. Can't find the right ones.

    I clicked on your link, then clicked on Q&A on the Brownell page for the Rem screws. It says"A: 1/4" - 28 1.71 OAL 0.575" threaded; 1/4" - 28 OAL1.226" entirely threaded; 8 - 36 OAL 1.588" 1.111" threaded - all nominal. OAL includes the bolt head. Hope this helps

    Gunsmithing Anyway to fix a F'd up chambering job??

    Whats the old saying? Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me! Sounds like the chamber is a hair short. Hopefully thats all and it can just be reamed a little deeper. But I'd find a real gunsmith to fix it. Stiller, Bartlein and shadetree gunsmith is not a good threesome in my...

    7mm shooters - prepare to be f*cked!

    I think we miss read the suspension notice. I think they are suspending taking orders until they can get caught up a little on their backlog. Just like a lot of suppliers have lomg ago ceased taking backorders because they have no idea whwn they would be more stock in.

    Such thing as a rifle that just will not shoot ?

    Those last 168 SMKs look pretty good. The "flyers" are not way out of the group.

    Need HELP: POI shifting throughout course of fire

    I don't think every one is really reading and understanding what you are saying. Maybe me included. I think you either have a worn barrel or it has an excessive amount of stress that upon firing(heating up) is causing it to shift the POI. I'm more inclined to think stress with the way it is...

    Berger vld's in a 22-250

    A 1-14 barrel will shoot up to approx 60 grain bullets if they are flat base. My 40x with a factory 1-14 will shoot 55 plastic tips from Nosler and Hornady, but Sierra's version is all over the place. The Hornady flat base 60 grainers are excellent. You need at least a 9 twist for upper 60's and...

    Noveske SS 5.56 barrel

    Just the dimensions won't tell you which is more accurate or how much difference in accuracy between the two. Inside dimensions/uniformaty and how well the chamber was cut/centered and crown have a lot more to do with the accuracy than the external numbers. You got it, shoot it and see just how...

    Help me!! Rem 700 ungouping.

    A 1-14 twist 22-250 will shoot 52/53 grain bullets very well. It will also shoot short(flat base) 55's just fine. Even some 55 boat tail bullets. The Sierra plastic tip seem to be the worst 55s in a 14 twist. A factory 22-250 barrel can foul very fast. Shot fast in hot weather can make it even...

    Ogive types

    Reamers are usually ordered to a certain spec. The different factory rifle makers could all use the exact same spec for their reamers but I suspect there are minor differences. So yes one brand may prefer one type bullet.

    Fed up with stuck cases

    One Shot works fine for the high volume pistol cases with a carbide die, they don't require near 100% coverage. But for rifle stuff Imperial, RCBS case lube and a couple other real case lubes get the job done, but you must be sure you get it applied to the case sufficiently. Personally I use a...

    Gas key bottoming out on gas tube on a rainier barrel

    So only the barrel is different? Should be a simple check to compare your old barrel and new barrel. Are you sure the gas tube is seated completely in the gas block?

    Which .308 Bullets for 1,000 yds in a 20 inch AR-10 will work best???????????

    Whats the magic number to stay supersonic? I know the speed of sound is 1126, so is that the number or does the turbulence start as the bullet approaches that speed?
