    Gunsmithing Trued 700 action VS Custom

    Once a 700 action is properly trued/ blueprinted by a competent gunsmith, is there a discernable difference downrange when compared to a Custom action? Jack

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 Switch Barrel Rifle

    What's involved in making a switch barrel rifle out of Remington 700? I’ve been doing some research on the web and the best I can tell is you pin the recoil lug in place and use a barrel vice and action wrench to unscrew the action from one barrel and screw it onto another. And then check the...

    Gunsmithing New Center Feed Wyatt Boxes or model 700 Remington

    I am building two .284 Winchesters on Stiller Predator actions. I called Kevin Wyatt about using his expanded and extended mag boxes because I was not pleased with his old Center round mag boxes for the Short Mags(or fatter than 308 cases). Kevin Informed me he had added to his line 4130 CM...

    Remm 700 PSS

    Got this rifle as a turn in by state police. Finally got it out to the range to work it out. It came topped with a leupold MkIV 3.5-10. I added Harris legs. Wasn't ready for a serious session. Just wanted to take advantage of the weather and the opportunity to light up some paper. I tried 4...

    223 AI build on a Howa or Rem 700

    I have both actions available for this build. I like the Rem because you can get anything for it, but the Vanguard/Howa action seems to feed the 223AI much easier and smoother IMO. I've been reading a lot about the 223AI and the 75 amax bullets. Seems to be a great little setup in an 8 twist...

    Remington 700 factory drop mag

    Hello all, I apologize if this has been asked already... I tried search to no avail. Are the Remington 700 actions used in rifles with factory drop mag bottom metal the same as 700 ADL and BDL actions? Just wondering if another DBM system like the BO M5 or Seekins DBM can still be used with...

    Gunsmithing longer magizine well on a 700

    I was wondering what it would take to make the magazine longer SPS tactical or the varmint. I would like a longer COAL without making this a single shot rifle. I have heard of Wyatts but what does it take to install on of those? Thanks in advance

    *My first issue with a new Rem 700** is fixed*

    I just bought a new Rem 700 Compact Tactical. I wanted to see how the bolt cycled so I loaded a few rounds into the well. I first noticed that the 2nd one in would not stay down so I had to hold it down with 1 finger and start the 3rd one in and it holds the others down. I have to hold the 3 in...

    Gunsmithing 700 PSS DM

    Just picked up a slightly used PSS with DM. Searching here I've heard that the factory DM system isn't that great. I've also learned that you cannot turn a factory DM into a BDL without a new receiver. So that leaves me with getting a new DM system (Badger, Seekins, HS, etc). Will an aftermarket...

    700 bolt, teflon coat?

    So I posted this in the gunsmith sections and got no replys so hopefully you guys can offer a little advise. I'm sending the muzzle break from my 700 sps tactical to be teflon coated, the place that does it has a $200 lot minimum. I'm wondering if disassembling the boly and having it coated as...
