  1. 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?

    Just saw half on the NBC special on the Remington Law Suit concerning its 700 trigger assembly. Some of the rifles will go off when taking them off safety. I think this thread is an old one, but not one I am familiar with totally. If I put after market triggers on my Remington 700's does that...

    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 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.
