    Range Report Another Remington 700 5R range report

    The only ammo I could find was some crappy Remington/UMC 150gr but figured it would be fine to turn into reloading brass. Shot the remmy factory crap at 100, 200, and 300 and for the price it isn't too bad. I loaded a few test rounds with 175gr SMK and am very happy with those. Now that I...

    Remington 700 firing pin problem

    This is a well used Remington 700 with a total of around 7 thousand rounds thru it so I'm not complaining about the rifle, but I was getting some really odd results yesterday. It was piercing primers (which it has never done) and getting light primer strikes during the same day using ammo that...

    Gunsmithing Changing the barrel on a rem 700

    I just bought a factory take off barrel to replace my sporter barrel my rifle came with. Can I do the job my self or would it be better just to take it to a gunsmith?

    AR-10 mags in a 700?

    It may not be the brightest idea, but in the interest of making everything interchangable, has anyone tried feeding a 700 from AR-10 mags? Is anyone out there building bottom metal to allow it?

    700 yard comparison. 338 LM and 308 win.

    Can someone who owns comparably equipped versions of each tell me their feelings on the subject? I had a TRG 42 in 338 LM and I sold it ( ) because of the general consensus that it was a waste of powder inside 1K. I use my GAP 308 for everything now, because my range maxes out just shy of 700...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 scope base mounting point stripped?

    I just received a remington model 700 sa that has the front most mounting point stripped out. I installed a Leupold two piece base and the rear screw is tight. I put some locktite on and it seems to be holding fine after about 20 rounds. Would you guys leave it alone or have it repaired? What...

    Gunsmithing Make your own Remmy 700 Firing pin tool

    Final fixture here, It is made of 1/4" 6061 T6 flat plate with angle bolted to it. Everything else was trial and error junk I made my own because I'm a cheap ass. It's really simple, I used two pieces of 2"x4"x1/8" aluminum angle from my shop, some scrap wood, and a piece of 1/2"...

    Gunsmithing 700 Bolt stop sticking!

    Brand new, no dirt or anything. Looks like the piece is sticking on the trigger. The stop it self seems to move freely. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Canjar trigger on new 700 SPS?

    OK, so today when I ordered my HS precision stock for my 700 I picked up this old Canjar trigger. I REALLY do not like the X-mark trigger that came with rifle. Anyway, my stock will be here Tuesday and I was going to see if this trigger would work in my rifle. I just don't have any idea if...

    22lr action for Remington 700 AICS stock

    Are there any companies making a 22LR action that will fit a Remington 700 format other than a Remington 40X. I have a short action AICS chassis and would like to build a trainer rifle. Stillers 25 X to be released soon.

    Switching barrels on a Remington 700

    Hi folks. I have been using the search function for the past few hours trying to figure out if I can take a Remington 700 in 6.8, and switch out the barrel for one in a different caliber, using the action that is in the rifle? I thought I saw a thread a while ago where a member was thinking of...

    Hey everyone, I have a remington 700 LTR and I am having problems closing the bolt when I chamber a new round. The back end of the bullet is torn up from the extractor, so I assume it is a problem with the bolt/extractor. Has anyone had this problem before and how did you fix it? Thank you...
