    Gunsmithing Thoughts on action "truing"

    I've got a FN/Win 70 barreled action that I'm thinking of having rebarreled and I was wondering what everyone thoughts of action truing are? I'm sure truing the face of the action is a good idea, but I don't see where I'd be gaining anything with single pointing the threads, or lapping the...

    Rifle Scopes Shimming scope base, help, ideas, thoughts?

    Ok, I have an early five digit Remington, there is a big difference in the rear bridge height in these rifles and the rifles made after 1974, (.019). Now to upgrade my rifle I bought a Seekins base, why did I buy Seekins, because he responded to my emails about this problem. Now I have mounted...

    Gunsmithing Thoughts On Widden Alum Bedding Block ?

    Anyone worked with this aluminum bedding block for Rem 700. Seems like a solution to trying out some stocks without traditional bedding. I know there is a guy (Don Stith) who offers one for his stocks for the Quad. This one, Widden only offers one for the 700, with many accuracy claims. Regards

    Considering trading in 700 for AR10... thoughts?

    I currently have a Remington 700 Police in .308... it's had a little work and is sitting on a loaded McMillan Baker Special... it's a great shooter, but I'm thinking about trading it/selling it in favor of an AR10 or LR308. I'm thinking that a 24" heavy barrel should get me out there for...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on Zeiss Victory Diavari 6x24x56 ?

    I have been over and over reading all the different scopes and the performance issues, glass quality, turret knob click adjustments, reticles, durability, etc. This will be my second “Bolt Gun” My first was a custom Armalite AR-50 BMG. I found it was not practical where I live. If I lived in...

    Thoughts on a cartridge for extended ranges.

    I made a post in the rifles section also, but I will "somewhat" duplicate it here. I know there are hundreds of posts on the sight regarding this stuff, but I have some specific criteria and would like fresh opinions. I just picked up a 700 in 300WM ADL sporter for a SWEET price. I already...

    Thoughts on Barrel length for the 7mm-08 imp.

    Wondering if anyone is playing around with the 7mm-08 improved, and what barrel lengths are ideal. I just got in 3 26" barrels, and am wanting to cut them down, but not sure what is acceptable on the lower end... Dave

    Rifle Scopes A few thoughts on the Burris XTR 624 and Leup ERT

    I have use a Burris XTR 6x24x50 B-MilDot for a few months now and it is not a bad scope. The glass is relatively clear and the adjustments seem to be spot on. But...... I just got my Leupold Mark 4 6.5x20x50 ERT FFP Mil Dot in the mail and it is an awesome scope. The Burris is much larger...

    DBMs, pros/cons, thoughts.

    So doing a DBM mod on my FP 10 keeps going in and out of my mind. I definitely don't need one, and in reality probably won't do it. I was just curious what everyone here thought about DBMs?

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts of the Simmons AETEC 4-14x44 MB SF

    This is my virgin post and , being a ol, burned out, body wasted member of the non-organized milita; I find myself looking for some help on a scope I just got to place on a light weight .260 Remington. I live in an area where the long shot is a dream, and with my health, I probably couldn't hit...
