So it's normal to have to hog out the barrel channel? What else might I have to do? Should I bed it?

Bought a used 7mag sendero last spring, was side tracked with building a home, and moving. Getting around to dialing it in, it shoots factory ammo fine, have changed the scope, and mounts, and re worked the factory trigger. The problem now seems to be with point of impact shift when the stock is...

Maybe it is because I'm on my phone, but the search didn't show anything, and I re checked it and still didn't pull anything up. Will try from the computer when I get Aw chance. Thanks William.

Was introduced to an older gunsmith a couple weeks ago. Real nice guy, was just talking and checking stuff out. The amount of good information that was shared with me took over a week to digest. Over the week several ideas clicked into " why have I not thought of that it makes logical sense!"...

I cleaned up the heads of the screws the best I could. Cleaned all the parts, they were as nasty as I thought it was. Put it all back together and adjusted it a little, it is much crisper, all of the mush is gone. If I am able to adjust a tad bit more creep and a little weight out of it I will...

It's the 3 screws in the trigger assembly it's self. 2 of the screws have around 4 mm unthreaded at the tip ( set screws ) I think they are called dog point set screws. We don't have anything that small that is standard at work, and I tried a couple metric with no luck. Thank you, William.

I have a 700 Remington with messed up flat head screws, anyone know the thread pitch on the screws? Bought a used 700 and the trigger is all but un useable with stripped screws. I'm going to clean it all up and try to make it work. I checked and as close as I can find is 6/40 but due to the...

Rogersville Tennessee, The range is in midway,(500) yd going up 31 to sneedville just past the top of the mountain on the left hand side of the road. They have a sign next to the road now. It may have always been there just noticed it last year. A bunch of guys from the plant have been...

Just ordered some springs from wolf, will try that first. It may have a bunch of solvent and crud in the trigger assembly. Have had an older remington with a good trigger, wasn't light but it was good and clean. Will work on this one and see if it turns out ok. It feels like a waste of money if...

I'm working on my model 700 the trigger is well horrible. I've adjusted it and it has a rubbery feel at the bottom before the release, and this will not allow consistent pull weight or feel. Does anyone have a good exploded picture of the 700 trigger I may just take it apart and clean it, and...

The glare seems to be an issue I'm not sure it's the only one. Picked up another couple shifts this week at work, may get to check it out on Saturday. I checked the mount today and it looks like I'm going to have to epoxy level the back. So I might have some more time to work on things...

The sunshade is on back order, so it's not that. I may have a minute to check it out.

I just received my scope last night, only had a minute to play with it before work today, it's still not mounted. Holding the scope up and looking thru it the color is missing from all but the edge of the fov. It has a good green picture looking at the trees, sharp, and clean around the edges...

Per Hodgon powder H1000 was made for over bored rounds like the 7mm magnum. I'm using it to work up some loads right now, I'm far from done but I like what I see so far. I'm up to a listed max load right now. The oal is just off the lands so I have extra case to fill. I'm running a nosler 140...

With a proper trigger job you should get sub moa. After a trigger job mine in a heavy 26" barrel will go into 1.25 inches at 200 yards all day long if I do my part. That's in 25-06 and only 200 yards. There's good info on mike's sight that will give you ideas on things to try. One thing to...
