Has anyone heard of going this route? Not a gun smith nor do I know anyone who can do work on a firearm that I would trust. Wanted rem 700 action but was thinking about benchmark 5r barrel swap or should I keep the Remington barrel? Timney trigger with McMillan stock. Would this be the way to...

Buddy is selling his for 2k good condition. It's a .308 looking for another rifle.. Is this worth the buy? No scope

Yeah the only difference I notice is my .223, shoots about 2 min low and then it's spot on. If I heat the barrel up pretty hot and wait about 10 mins before I shoot again, it does the same thing

I have a .338 lapua and haven't shot it enough to tell you much but it is a proven round and it's the most fun round I have ever shot by far, kickes the right amount and can get out and touch some steel and do some good damage. Rounds are very pricey and that's the only reason I put the gun down...

I'm just curious to see how everyone's cold bore shoots compared to a warm bore and what do you consider "cold bore" thanks guys!

Thanks for the replays guys, I ended up starting in between low and mid range, had 2 loads and the hotter load was very impressive, the other actually didn't stabilize. Had 4 shots that showed an inch or so long in the paper at 100 yards. Shootin .223 today.

It has a max medium and minimum load, I was going to start with minimum, should I do less?

I have a nosler book and it recommends using nosler casings with the specific charge but I already have horniday, .338 laupa .223 and .270... Do I need to buy new brass or a new book or just go off of nosler specs? Thanks yall

Called NF and badger got specs everything was tightened properly with blue lock tight. I mounted scope on my .223, if it's still off I'll send it in

Update, I tried shooting it again, shot about 10 rounds out of it and was disappointed. About 6 Minuet group moving up down left and right without touching turrets..

I have everything back on and torqued down to what I think is specs, gunna call to make sure but trying to get out to the range today!

Okay guys I have an update, 5 out of 12 ring screws were under torqued (assuming the spec is 15 but I'm not positive) they were actually under 10 in lbs. the other 7 were over tight by a few inches. The rail mounts were at almost 60 in lbs. I have scope off and I'm using a lapping bar on rings...

I can give it a shot and see what happens, hope it's just the **** rings

I can't see it being barrel, never have over heated it, cleaned it after every 15 or so rounds.

But I haven't checked with chalk or torque yet all I know is 100 zero I couldn't find paper at 100 nor 50
