  2. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum but it seems to be my final option to find out whats going on with my rifle. Its a bit of a story but please bare with me. A few years ago I bought a brand new Remington 700 CDL in .300 RUM to use to hunt elk in Colorado. I put a Leupold VX-3 8.5-25X50...

    Looking for some sound advice here. I want to put a Hogue stock on my Short Action Remington 700 BDL, .223, standard barrel (not a heavy one). Does the stock with the full length bedding block shoot any better than the one with the pillar bedding. I tried to clean up the factory composite stock...

    Hey guys got a few questions, and concerns on customizing my bolt on a 700 adl in .243. I'm wanting to put a new knob on the end and I don't want a cheep clip on style. My question is how hard will it be to cut off drill and re-weld a new bigger one on, and will this affect the structural...

    Just got the chance the other day to try out our first handloads for our new Rem 700 in .223 Tried four different handloads, four shots apiece. Best grouping was micrometer'd @ .454 inch at 100 yds. YAY. :D (This was mine and Dad's FIRST attempt at reloading, I think we need to go buy a lotto...
  7. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    I know there is a difference in the size of the stock and the barrel is a little bit shorter. But how much shorter is the barrell and is the ballistics any different? I was into this 7mm-08 and was thinking about just getting a new stock for it. Is there any big difference is the youth vs the...

    I am new to the forum and the new owner of a used Rem 700 VLS in 308. It has a 26 in 1-12 twist heavy barrel. I purchased it last weekend and went straight to the range. The gun appeared to have minimal shells thorugh it prviously, so I did a break in and brushed every 3 round. The patterms...

    I just thought I would update my posting regarding my Remington M700 MLR Police rifle in .338 Lapua. After sending it back to Remington and after Remington found it after having misplaced it, it is in worse condition than before I sent it back to them to have it repaired. Remington said they...

    I have a Remington 700 bdl in .222 cal..The date on the barrel is P J which I beleave to be June 1962 which is the first year the .222 was made with a 20" barrel.There is no warning on the barrel and I think they started doing that in about 1984. My problem is there is no front sight on the...

    I am so pumped!!! I've been struggling w/ selecting a rifle because my style of hunting has changed. Before I was going on "gentlemenly hunts" now it's scabbards, horses and rough rides on Argos. My beautiful wood stock would've been toast and beat-up after 2 hunts. I couldn't find a rifle w/...

    I was going to build a custome .308 rem 700 starting with the action. I wanted to start in .308 and eventually convert it into a 300 win mag when I shoot the barrel out. (Kinda like the m24). would it be ok if I started with a long action to make it into a .308? ( I see a lot of 7mm rem mags for...

    I have a Remington 700 SPS in a 22-250 that I have put a bell and Carlson stock on. I hand load for this rifle and it shoots very well but I think it has much more potential. I have never taken a rifle to a gun smith other than to make a repair. So if I take this one in are there any suggestions...

    With a standard base ("standard" meaning not one of the elevated bases), should we get medium or short rings? Scope will be either a 40mm, 42mm, or *possibly* a 50mm. We are concerned about bolt clerance especially.... because we want to be able to actually use our gun! :D Known Info on all...

    So. Dad and I just bought a VTR in .223. We plan to use it more for varmit shooting, but possibly some for silouhette varmit shoots. (max range maybe 400 yards?) We're asking around for opinions on any 1.) Scope Bases and Rings 2.) What kind of scope to get? Variable or fixed? ...3.) Any...

    Anyone know what type of thread is used in the Remington 700 Action screws, Have swapped the stock for a Choate Tactical but the screws needed are a small amount longer than the stock Remington ones. Dont suppose another model or brand Rifle would use similar screws that are slightly longer.
