    Gunsmithing Rem 700 Bolt Torque on decocked bolt lift

    I've been working on my shooting technique, but I'm having what seems to be excessive torque on the bolt lift once I've fired a round. I tried to keep my cheekweld and lift the bolt and I felt a slight pop in my shoulder- burned for about 3 hours. What is causing this added torque during a...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 Who does a Side Receiver Bolt release?

    Just like the subject says. I want a Huber trigger, but I have a stock Rem 700 action. I'd like to know of any smiths that perform this modification. If I assume GAP, and APA (Jered) do this would I be correct?

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 Action Difference

    Is there a slight difference in the Remington 700 rifle actions prior to B prefix. I was going to get a Badger Ordinance mount and rings (USMC M40 copy) but it stated not to use with A prefix or older rifles. Since my rifle is five digit, I didn't think it would work, I have several older...

    Gunsmithing Badger M2008 with Remy 700 barrel?

    Anyone know if a .308 barrel which has already been treaded and fitted to a Remy 700 can be re-fitted to the Badger M2008 SA? If so, is it a straight swap or does the treading need to be extended or completely redone? Also, would it need to be rechanbered?

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 .223 custom build?

    Hello from Australia ... I'm looking to build up a grunty .223 "back up" (ie, one that's a no brainer to shoot, and that I can toss to a buddy for a weekend) based on a Remington 700 action. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of .223 (my other Rems are in .308, and a VERY heavy '250), but...
