Tried some out today and was impressed. Grouped nicely. Thanks!

I don't handload yet so I currently stuck with over the counter ammo. I'm currently using the Winchester super X 100gr with decent results. However, I was comparing the ballistics with the Winchester ballistic tip 95gr and they are impressive. Will the factory barrell stabilize this hotter load...

Thanks for the input. I spoke with Chris and he was very helpful.

I should be more clear. I've been hunting/shooting for 21 years and have taken deer up to 250 yards with my 30-06. I been shooting long enough to know that the weakest link in the equation is the shooter. I just want to make sure before I start shooting at targets at 250+, that the rifle does...

Hi There! Been lurking for a while but need to get started on building a good 700. I have a predator problem and need to be able to make shots up to 400 yards on coyotes and bobcats. I'd like to also use it on deer if it will carry enough energy out to 3-400yds. The Rem 700 I'd like to use is...

Thanks. Found the post and how it addressed the sear angle. Very good info. However, I didn't find any info on which of the 2 screws sets the amount of pull. If anyone can enlighten me on which screw sets the trigger pull, I would be most grateful.

Just aquired a "new to me" Rem 700 and the trigger pull is still set at the heavy factory setting. I remember that you can drop the trigger set out of the stock and one of the two screws sets the pull. But for the life of me, I can't remember which one. I want to lighten the poundage a little...

I've seen some of these red spot lights that attach to your scope or rifle for night hunts. Anyone know of a good one that will really reach out there and what kind of yardage are we talking?

Well...I don't want it for myself. Let me explain my situation. My son has already been hunting with me on several occasions and watched me take and field dress deer. The last thing I will let him do is pull the trigger until he has learned all other aspects of the hunt. I think he will respect...

Turns out he wants $300 for it. It is definately the older style that has the jeweled bolt with 2 ears. It comes with a decent scope, case and one of those $100 metal gun safes. Looks like I need to dig up $300 bones....

I'm looking for a first rifle for my son. As luck would have it I have an opportunity to buy a Rem 700 wood stock chambered in 243. The gun is 30 years old and probably only had 40-60 rounds through it. The guy wants $250 for it. Sounds like a great deal to me. I heard that the older 700's were...

That's what I figred as well. Jon, I will be placing an order shortly.

Need to buy a scope and was debating between the Leupold VXI 3-9x40 or the Nikon Monarch 3-9x40. Any opinions or other in the same low $200 price range?

Re: Stock Q for a 70\'s Rem 700 From what I gather, I'll have some bedding work to do with either the h-s or the McMillan. Correct?

Stock Q for a 70\'s Rem 700 I have a Rem 700 ADL 30-06 from the late 70's with less than 200 rounds through it. I've had some trigger work done and am happy with it's performance. It's in great condition and accurate. However it has the original wood stock. I am considering replacing the stock...
