    Tikka Action Pitting?

    I was cleaning my Tikka today and noticed some serious pitting inside the action. This gun has only had around 500 rounds through it. Is the pitting going to effect accuracy? Should I send it to the factory? What should I do? Thanks

    ideas for a rem700 375hh action...

    I'm tired of this rifle constantly kicking my ass, so I'm thinking about a re-barrel. A 7 pound 375hh sounded like a good idea at first... I suppose it would be a good action to build a 338 lapua on, that's the first thing I thought of at least. Any ideas?

    Will a Rem 710 mag fit a Rem 700 action?

    I'm working on a project that's based on using a 700 BDL magazine for a 30-06. The local place has a pair of 710 mags for 30-06 at 15 bucks each. Will they fit a Rem 700? I don't think they will, but before I write off the cheap mags, I figured I'd ask the guys here who might have one.
