    Bolt Rifle Options

    I am looking for my first bolt rifle to shoot at 100 and 200 yards (local range), and less frequently to 600 and 1000 yards (range 100 miles away). I would like opinions of these rifles (or others), as to suitability. Insufficient, wrong round, twist, better option elsewhere? Savage 10FCP...

    Gunsmithing M700/clones bolt timing explained

    Who wants to go first? We have heard the term bantered about many times. I spoke with 2 trained and experienced gunsmiths locally and neither had a good explanation. What is it? How does it effect the rifle when wrong? How does it effect the rifle when right? How is it done? Gurus, have...

    10/22 vs bolt opinions needed

    I've got a 10/22T that is bone stock right now. From what I've gathered, it's shooting about as good as expected for not having any mods done to it. So here is my dilemma: Send it to here: http://www.ct-precision.com/ and have the full tune up, taper crown, and have the barrel threaded to...

    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!

    R+D Bolt Knob

    I had Randy install his Gen-2 bolt knobs on my Rem 700 and 40-XB trainer rifles. Wow, what a difference! I think this photo shows how much easier this mod makes it to cycle the bolt -- imagine the delicacy required to articulate the bolt past that scope objective with just the little Remington...

    Gunsmithing DPMS .308 bolt catch pin problem

    I finally got all the parts and pieces to assemble my DPMS .308 SASS. After everything was put together, my bolt catch lever wouldn't depress and lock the bolt back. The DPMS lower takes a hex-head screw instead of the normal AR type roll pin to keep the bolt catch lever in place. Well, I...

    Gunsmithing Bolt Rifle Guy with M1A question

    With respect to the M1A / M14, I have always been amazed at how the front parts assembly (gas plug, gas cyl and gas piston hold(s) up to the constant forward hammering. How does a rifle design hold it's zero after such a constant smacking, I continue to ask myself. :P At any rate, here's my...

    Liberty Bolt Knobs?

    Whats the general consensus on these. I have one uninstalled but I think I like the Badger better. I think the bolt handle would just be to long with the liberty.

    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...

    Rifle Scopes Scope rails for bolt action .308s

    Hello all, I apologize if this was asked already... Pretty sure it has but can't find it using search function. For a .308 bolt gun, is there a need for steel scope rails or is 7075 aluminum rails sufficient enough strength wise for a range/bench gun? Thanks.

    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 How to tig weld a bolt handle?

    So in doing some projects at work and some bolt knob conversions with the Tac Ops kit and I welding the stud to the handle I've become fairly comfortable with tig welding, and now I'm wondering what is involved in tig welding the handle onto the bolt body? Prep work, where to weld and any other...

    Gunsmithing bolt stop modification

    currently running an externally adjustable 40x trigger on my rifle and am on the fence about getting one of the group buy Huber triggers. Since they have no bolt release I was thinking of getting the GA bolt/stop release modified to my gun. If I decide I dont like the Huber can i go back to...

    Gunsmithing Jewell bolt release issue

    Just wondering if this is normal. This is a replacement unit from Jewell, my last one fit perfect in the bolt stop notch, this one is alot shorter. I bent it up to contact the bolt release but it is pretty darn tough to press and also has a tough time returning to it's normal position since the...

    Trying to decide on a 1/2 MOA bolt gun

    I'm looking into buying a new- off-the-shelf 1/2 MOA bolt gun in .223 or 22-250 for target and varmint shooting. I would go .308 however I only have a 100 yard range around here and .223 is much cheaper. I understand that the Remington 700 action is probably the most recpected and coveted...

    Two Stage Trigger for Bolt Gun?

    I just learned that two stage triggers may be found in bolt guns. I thought these were used in ARs only. ??? I will have an AR-15, AR-10, and a bolt gun or two. I would think it would be best to become familiar with just one type of trigger. Are two stages really available in bolt guns...

    Gunsmithing New Tikka T3 Bolt handle

    I recently traded for a T3 Tactical, and was very impressed with the rifle. The two things I didn't like were the Stock and the bolt knotb/handle. Tom Manners appears to be working on the stock issue. So I called up Tikka/Beretta and ordered the Large Factory Bolt handle. What I got for my $48 +...
