    Barrel for my FN 3006 suprem model made in Belgiu

    An FN Supreme will have regular Mauser M98 threads. In Europe it should be fairly easy to source a Lothar Walther or Heym pre-fit. Not sure about Mexico.

    12 round double stack metal magazines

    All AICS are double stack (sort of) to single feed. are you looking for 12 round AW mags? Nobody makes one that i know of. The base plates are welded on though I’ve seen one that had the base plate cut off and a AICS extender installed

    Rifle Scopes "Philosophy of Use" for G3 Reticle?

    I ran a G2 then a G3 for my first couple seasons with good results but switched to a H59 because the G3 was just too narrow. Half a mil of wind down to 4 mils elevation leaves you holding in mid-air way too often. I’m also perplexed by the 1.25 mil ‘mover’ hash mark. The movers we shoot at...

    AICS mag feed issue

    A n unmodified Tikka long action will not function with an unmodified 3.715” AICS magazine. MDT produces their LA Tikka chassis with a proprietary 3.560” AICS pattern magazine for this reason. A spacer in the front would work in theory, but bullet noses dragging on a 3D print is a recipe for...

    custom action with similar threads to r700?

    I just went through this, with three low mile barrels two off a Stiller Predator and one off a Remington 700 They went onto a Defiance Tenacity. All I had to do is get the next thicker recoil lug so the gunsmith only had to trim the shoulder back to set the bolt nose clearance and headspace...

    What’s best magazine?

    Defiance’s description isn’t clear on their website about AiCs/AW they are available with the regular Remington 700 mag well, or the AW (defiance calls it ‘guardian mag cut) if you have the regular mag well tenacity, non binder plate mags won’t work without notching the feed ramp, regardless...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS 2 or DMR2

    same here. I have an XRS2 H59 and two HDMR2 H59 scopes. I only got the XRS2 because I was offered one for only a few dollars more than an HDMR2. Set side-by-each on 20x you have to look for shadows and features to discern any differences in clarity or brightness. On 12x where 95% of my shots...

    Advanced Marksmanship Tips & Tricks, from Tripods to Stage Examples for - UKD Team Field Match or Hunting

    Awesome information Diver. Team matches with ukd, loopholes, defiladed targets, and movers are the best! I've shot quite a few of the RTC matches in the NW and here's two tips I give new shooters; 1) always look at how and where the RO/Spotter is positioned, and use his line-of-sight to the...

    How would you set up a rig, cheap?

    If you like the A3 ergonomics, the Bergara HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor is what I'd buy as a economy rifle

    Best practices on how to sort brass?

    I used to have Folgers coffee cans everywhere with useless data marked with masking tape and sharpie. Now I use my AMP annealer as a 'reset' button on brass and treat all fired cases the same. I've verified the actual max case length in my rifle by chambering a fired case and looking down...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    It's not just chassis design. The original AICS pattern magazine is just too wide at the front to insert high enough into a unmodified Model 70 receiver. The MDT metal and poly mags are slightly smaller in the front, and the chassis was designed to move the magazine back as far as possible in...

    Solved my Problem with Fliers and Intermittent Accuracy Loss.

    I don't know about the Seekins, but the Precision Armament, Near, and MDT rails with recoil lugs all have elongated screw holes so the rail can slide forward and get proper contact with the front receiver ring. My opinion is that in these days of 35+ ounce scopes and heavy one+piece Spuhr type...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    I love mine. Had a PBR I foolishly sold, then managed to grab an action from CDNN and a second later at Midwest along with a couple A3G stocks. I have a couple new tech rifles on Defiance actions and MDT chassis’ that I shoot in matches but I still shoot the Model 70s ever chance I get

    A sr25 magazine won’t insert high enough into a rem700 pattern receiver.

    Winchester 70 Question

    There was a “classic sharpshooter” model in the mid 90’s from the custom shop very similar to that rifle. Is there a proof mark at 12:00 on the barrel near the receiver?

    1st PRS style match. Need mag mod ideas

    a properly designed bottom metal or chassis should not allow a AICS magazine to interfere with the bolt when pushed on, at least for a two lug 700 clone. They are designed to stop on the receiver at the front corners, and the mag well should support the spine of the magazine enough to not allow...

    1st PRS style match. Need mag mod ideas

    The Mdt 12 rd mags are the same external size as a regular 10 rd AICS magazine, so they have less tension with 10 rounds than an AI or Accurare mag. Feed lips on AICS pattern mags are parallel, and with the Creedmoor or other straight bodied cases it is beneficial to open the fronts 20 thou or...
