    Military surplus in a Remington 700VS .308

    All I would like to know is if military ammo will damage the chamber, or any other part of my rifle, but by everyone silence it is safe to use.

    Military surplus in a Remington 700VS .308

    Is it okay to run military surplus .308 ammo through my Remmy VS? I am wanting to get some inexpensive ammo to practice with.

    SOLD/EXPIRED WTB Remington 700 .308 barrel and SA bolt

    I am interested in finding a standard factory .308 barrel in new condition, and a Remington 700 SA .308 bolt also. I have a 22-250 that I would like to make into a scout rifle. I will consider trades.

    Barrel cleaning process?

    What is the best barrel cleaning process? I want to get the most out of my Rem 700VS .308. Is there any good books that go into extensive detail? I have fired only three shots through the barrel since I bought it, and I would like to break the barrel in. Okay, so I guess I am wanting the...

    Newbie suggestions

    The rifle only has three rounds through it since I have owned it. I am not that experienced in shooting past 200 yards. Every game animal that I have taken has been 75 yards or less. However, I am expecting some long shots this year.

    Newbie suggestions

    Hello, it has been a long time since I cruised this forum, and I am wanting some input on my set up. I currently have a Remington VS in .308 winchester. It is topped with a Leupold VX-II 3-9x50mm, and is sitting in Warne rings and one piece base. I plan on hunting mule deer in eastern Oregon...

    RECOIL

    THE RIFLE WAS A RUGER M77II SS WITH LAMINATED STOCK, AND A BUSHNELL ELITE 3-9X40. I THINK THE GUN WAS AT 8-81/4 POUNDS. THE STOCK FIT NICE, BUT NOT AS NICE AS THE WINCHESTER.

    .325 WSM

    I JUST WENT TO THE KIMBER WEBSITE TO SEE THE SPECS ON THE 8400 MONTANA(HOPING FOR A LEFTY.) THEY HAD A PRESS RELEASE FROM WINCHESTER ON A .325 WSM. WHY WOULD THEY DESIGN A CARTRIDGE AROUND THE 8MM BULLET AS OPPOSED TO THE .338?

    RECOIL

    I'VE BEEN WONDERING THIS QUESTION EVER SINCE I TRADED MY RUGER 270 FOR MY WINCHESTER MODLE 70 338 WM. WHY DID MY RUGER .270 WIN SEEM TO KICK ALOTTTT MORE THAN THE WINCHESTER .338 WIN MAG DID. IN THE .270 I SHOT PRIMARILY 130 GRAIN BULLETS FROM CORE LOKTS TO PARTITIONS, AND IN MY WINCHESTER I...

NOW LONG RANGE TO ME IS NO MORE THAN 500 YARDS, AND I INTEND TO USE THIS RIFLE FOR OPEN RANGE HUNTING(MULE DEER, ANTELOPE,COYOTES,ETC.) I SOMETIMES HUNT ON A RANCH IN EASTERN OREGON AND SIT OVER A HUGE CANYON, WHILE SOMEONE PUSHES...

    WHAT CALIBER TO BUILD?

    MY FRIEND SUGGESTED GOING WITH A 25-06 OR A 300 WIN MAG, BUT I'M NOT SURE. I HATE THIS I'M SPENDING MORE $ IN MY HEAD ON THIS RIFLE THAN I HAVE. OH WELL MAYBE I'LL BUILD THAT SCOUT RIFLE THAT I HAVE PLANNED.
