No, but looking through the archives here and at that 6BR place, there are numerous reports of guys claiming their rifles are shooting 1/2" groups or telling others that "sub 1/2" can be expected. I've observed that this seems to be mentioned more so with the 280AI compared to the 260AI. But, it...

All of you have been very helpful in giving me food for thought and providing me with your experienced insight for me to ponder over. I have planned this project for a very long time now. First, I mistakenly thought that the 7mm Mag would be the ultimate round. I soon realized the choice was a...

btw, Charles, Those are my mentioned bullet preferences, but group performance on paper will ultimately dicatate what bullets this rifle will fire.

Please gentlemen, have patience with me, as I know I'm not in your league, and I don't mean to antagonize you without even hardly trying. You have to realize that I can't go ask this kind of stuff at Bubba.slays.deer.com You see, they don't know what ".25 MOA" is, and I don't understand how the...

I'm looking to choose either the 260AI or the 280AI to serve as a possible long distance target rifle and maybe for hunting. But primarily my main intertest and pastime is to be able to shoot slow 5 shot clover leaf groups at 100 yards with tailored handloads. I was hoping that one of the bench...

What brand case do you use for your 7-08 bench rifle? I can buy standard Winchester brass and cull out about half of it to be left with only the most uniform cases. But the idea of doing a lot of prep including neck turning, only to have the primer pockets last about 2 or 3 firings is not...

They currently have every single variety of Hodgdon, IMR, and Vihtvuori powders, OR, any kind of primers or Lapua cases you would want.....amongst a WHOLE LOT of other brands of powders and bullets. I wouldn't consider Powder Valley's being out of a couple of different AA powders as being any...

:(These kinds of threads seem to pop up every couple of months in forums at shooting websights everywhere. I'm not in any way suggesting that the OP is in kahootz with the distributors to promote sales of shooting supplies, or going out of his/her way to start something. She/he's just likely...

So, what else is new?? You guys who especially participate in competition accross state or city lines, or air-space boundries must already have been aware of such dangers and risks you face for simply trying to mind your own business while transporting your guns to and from your destination...

Hello Rob, thanks for your opinion, but due to my very recent and difficult experience with trying to locate a stainless Remington rifle, I must respectfully disagree with you on just about ALL accounts of what you mentioned. Thus, I'm still desiring to determine and learn the best way to supply...

Bob; "Dan40X" at 6mmBR explained just the same thing as you stated here. I guess "Kathleen" at PT&G (from the above posted Email) works in the office and has no more clue then I do about what "SS" bolts are made of. It seems like PT&G is going through a major expansion. I hope the days of Dave...

Ok.....since you asked, I'll tell you why not; 1) This email that I received from PT&G today is the first reason: "We only make chrome molly (4140) bolts, not SS. I’m not sure why Dave Kiff only chooses to use chrome molly" Thank you Kathleen 2) A second good reason for me is this; It...

PEI Rob "PT&G sells one piece stainless bolts that are milled from a solid piece of stock so the handle is not a separate piece, $197. You can select options as well, rem extractor for LA .484, specific OD, fluting etc. Tac bolt knobs are $9, ejector kits are $8 and they sell rem style...

Would anybody venture to guess what Remington's shop charges may be for "fitting" a new bolt to a receiver? The gal at Remington told me to send in my .270 Remington 700 BDL to have a new bolt fitted to it. She said they will NOT sell me a bolt by itself, and all she could advise was for me...

Hmmmm..... ??....from the sounds of the telephone conversation I had with the Remington rep, I'm really not so sure that Remington would be willing to fit a 30-06 bolt to just any receiver that has a custom 30-06 barrel screwed into it. They might say "sorry, but this is not the original factory...

Over the weekend I located a new and unfired early 1990's SS Remington 700 LA rifle for $500. Thank goodness!......as I really didn't want to have to pay about $400 alone just to have had a custom ss bolt made up. Thanks though for the good input, as I prefer stainless steel barreled actions...

Geeees.... look whose posts it is that are situated before and after my post #16 !! I'm sandwhiched between the only two guys throughout the entire internet that are on my ignore list. (12 years of internet) What are the odds of that? Folks, you have to believe in an intelligent creator and...

Just got off the phone with Remington. They will sell me a bolt if I send the rifle in to their shop. That's ok, because the price is reasonable. But, if I send them my 7mm Mag rifle, they will only install a 7mmMag bolt! (yes, I understand their stand-point) And NOBODY ANYWHERE sells a...

Thanks Dennis. That was an in depth reply so now I understand the scope of it and just how involving this could be. This was the entire length of the Email reply to me from my gunsmith; Yes I can make it work, no problem at all. I'm going to have to see if he can grant me a couple of minutes...

EDIT; Thanks for the input Jackie, I was busy posting this reply to milgunsmith at the same time you were posting your reply. Is it really so involved to do that to a bolt so that a new LA stainless steel bolt would cost less? (as if Remington bolts are even available anywhere!) Can you...
