    Gunsmithing M700 switch barrel setup?

    Looking for advice for those who have switch barrel setups with their M700s. I know there are other actions that are easier to do this with, but I've already got the rifle. I really hate waiting on builds/re-barrelings. So, next rebarrelling, I'm going to have several barrels threaded...

    Pressure changes with primer switch?

    Generally how much of a difference can/will you see in pressure simply from switching a primer? Why am I asking this? I had a load in .308 LC Match brass that exhibited no visable pressure signs. Then I switched from BR2's to FED210's. Massive sticky bolt and an incipient head seperation...

    Surgeon Switch Barrel

    Gents, Are any of you running switch barrel setups on your surgeon (or other) actions? Which calibers are being used and what is involved in the barrel changing process? I have a surgeon build underway and I'm wondering if the switch option is worth exploring. Thanks in advance, Rath

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 Switch Barrel Rifle

    What's involved in making a switch barrel rifle out of Remington 700? I’ve been doing some research on the web and the best I can tell is you pin the recoil lug in place and use a barrel vice and action wrench to unscrew the action from one barrel and screw it onto another. And then check the...

    Rifle Scopes Why did NF switch mag. direction on the 2.5-10s?

    I have a 3.5-15x50mm and 5.5-22x56. I recently bought a new 2.5-10x32 compact and the magnification driection is reversed. Instead of turning clockwise like the 3.5 and 5.5, the 2.5 you turn counter clockwise to increase magnificaton. Also, after a while I liked how the whole ocular bell...

    Gunsmithing Switch Barrel Questions

    Wondering if its worth it before I commit to it. Do you have to remove the scope each time you switch the barrel? Can you switch the barrel often or will this cause damage to the threads? Do you put anti-seize on the threads? Do/can the receiver and barrel need to have indexing marks? Will the...

    My first Remington switch barrel rifle

    OK, I will admit that I am a big Savage fan. So, after buying my first 700 (SPS Varmint in 243), I started thinking about how depressing it was that I couldn't swap barrels. So, I ordered a 260 Remington barrel and also bought a Pac-Nor barrel nut. After a !@#$%^ of a time getting the stock...
