    Stripped screw hole in 700 5R action

    I was mounting a Badger base to my 700 5R when the process was derailed (no pun intended) by the front screw hole threading being stripped (the screw itself has no threading left and the threading on the action appears to have been affected). This is a new rifle, having its first scope mounted...

    Data book options (print and digital)

    I've done a bit of looking into options for data books and Impact Data Books seems like the top option. As a new shooter I'm still looking into what all I will need in a package to log my rounds. IDB has some nice premade options. Are there any better alternatives? How about in the digital...

    Rifle Scopes Badger base (306-46) on 700 5R - need bedding? (PHOTOS)

    Installing a Badger Ordnance M700 SA Picatinny base (306-46) on my 700 5R. This is my first base installation and I'm trying to determine whether or not I need to bed it. I've come across enough how-tos that demonstrate a significant amount of play between the action and base, leading to bedding...

    Thoughts on standard/non-adjustable McMillan A5 stock?

    I have a 700 5R with a factory HS Precision stock that I'm looking to replace with either a McMillan or Manners. Would prefer to go the adjustable route (ADJ A5 or A3-5; T4A) but don't have the funds for that right now. I have a chance to pick up a new non-adjustable McMillan A5 for $550 and am...

    Rifle Scopes Proper Scope Mounting

    I'm new to the long distance shooting game and just purchased my first rifle and scope: a Remington 700 5R .308 and a Steiner Tactical 4-16x50mm (34mm tube).

    Stock options for Remington 700 .308 Milspec

    I recently purchased a Remington 700 5R in .308 Win with a 24" milspec barrel in a 1:11.2" twist. It came with what appears to be an HS Precision stock that Remington commissioned for this rifle (if anyone can clarify or correct me on that please do so). I'm not a fan of the stock and would like...
