    Gunsmithing 6.5 Swede in a R700 short action?

    I saw a post where someone said they had a 6.5 Swede built on their Rem700 short action. Are major modifactions needed or is it mainly with the feeding from the magazine? Also, would it be possible to modify the magazine such that you could still utilize the 'bdl' configuration? Thanks. Rich

    What of the R700 SPS Varmint?

    I'm really intrigued by the R700 models. And I'm having a tough time choosing an affordable one that can shoot 1000yrds effectively. I've been recomended the SPS Varmint over the VTR. And Did some research. I like the SPS better. The barrel isnt of that new triangle cut crap. And it's got a 26"...

    Gunsmithing AW mags in 308 R700 w/M5??

    I know I've seen this here somewhere, but my search-fu is failing (even w/the Google SH search). What's it take to convert a Remington 700 action w/Badger M5 to use AW staggered feed mags?

    Gunsmithing Light primer strikes R700 223 AI, J lock?

    I just got my rifle back from the smith. I loaded up 50 fireforming loads with Lapua brass, CCI BR4's and H-335& Benchmark. I had several rounds that required 2-3 strikes to ignite the primer. Could the J lock cause this? What else might cause it? I'm hoping it's not the primers as I have...

    Gunsmithing Is the R700 SA OK for the 6x47 ?

    Dumb question, but I do not have any experience with the 6x47. OR do you need a Long Action. Which is best for the heavier bullets? Also is the 6x47 and 6x47Lapau the same brass. What is the oveall length of the loaded 6x47? Thanks Bill
