    Help identify a mag please

    sorry... just looked at your photos again... It's an "Accurate Mag" AICS style mag... The giveaway was the location of the .308 stamp, and the hole above the catch (above the .308 stamp). As to why it's not stamped 'ACCURATE-MAG' is odd cheers

    Help identify a mag please

    Definitely AICS compatible... Unsure of manufacturer (possibly Accurate Magazine, more likely Genuine AICS). If quality is good, i'd say use it or sell it :-) Sorry, I know my comments are of no help Cheers

    Remington 700 5R MilSpec .300 WM - Barrel Contour?

    Morning All, Just had a quick question regarding barrel contour... Is there any way to work out what the actual contour is on my barrel (eg: #7 Contour), or does anybody know of the top of their head what the contour is on the Rem 700 5R MilSpec .300 WM 26" barrel? Reason I'm asking is I...

    Rifle Scopes Long Eye Relief Scope for Ruger GSR

    Thanks for the advice :-) Think I will go with the Burris Scout. Having not had the chance to actually see one before I will get the chance to order, and as I would like to order rings at the same time, what height scope rings do you think it would need? I am looking at ordering the Burris 1 "...

    Gunsmithing Neckturned Chamber?

    Re: Neckturned Chamber? What are the major disadvantages? I take it you can't fire factory ammo through it? Are there any other affects when it comes to reloading, for example on velocity or maximum pressures? If I had a neck turned chamber, would I be able to run a standard 300 WSM reamer...

    Gunsmithing Twist rate for 168gr .300WSM?

    Re: Twist rate for 168gr .300WSM? Cheers Doc, Definitely got my mind made up on the 168gr... Just need to order the barrel with the right twist rate. My gunsmith seemed to think 1:10 was a tad fast, but couldn't be certain because he hadn't had much experience with Barnes projectiles... He...
