If they talk budget being the reason they can't upgrade, what is the value of a trained Marine being outgunned. The USMC has always liked the Rem. 700, get some LA Rems, barrel them in 300 Win mag and 338, use the existing optics and slay the enemy at long range. The 308 is a good round but not...

was at a gander mtn in Winchester Va 2 weeks ago they had winchester 100 round packs for 10.00 ea limit 5.. I am curious why wolf or one of the other foreign companies hasn't flooded the marker in the last 2 years.

+2 to Robert Hoyt. He has done relines and new barrels for me over the past 15 years. Won a lot of medals with them.. great work at a fair price.

dubbleA, that is a great looking stock you built up for that rifle!!

With the price of the parts now that might not be a bad deal if you have a receiver to put them on. There seems to have been some problems with the National Ord rec breaking up. If you look on ebay the cost of a good stock is more than 1/3 of the asking price. Barrels are going for 150-200...

Shot the repros in competition at N-SSA. The issues stated, lack of forearm, tab sliding down the grove below the barrel are just the way it is, you'll get use to it. In my experience the 44-40 shoots more accurate than the 45, I would say due to better seal at the neck with the chamber, I've...

I just got a Remington 700 Long Range in 300 Win mag, weighs about 9 lbs with out scope and mount for 703 delivered it is Model 84164, I believe. Just sighted it in with handloads, did a 1/3 MOA group at 300yds with no work on the rifle other then torqing the TG screws . If I was going hunting...

Domino, I handload with Remington brass and 41.4 IMR4320 using WW LR primers and 168 HPBT I have the scope set to 420.. This load in my Rem 700 does less than 1/2 MOA @ 300 yds here is a pic of the 700 group http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=738172 in the M1A it shoots right at 1...

have one on My National match M1A works great, no regrets

way to go, gifts like that will last a lifetime... I really like the old 45/70, you can cast your own and shoot just for the price of the primer and powder. and shooting with your kids is about the best memories you'll have. have fun and shoot safely

I learned a long time ago that the only person I had to really make happy, is myself, and if a 3K rifle fits the bill, then that's it. I never worry about what resale value is because the intent is to keep it. I look for value and check around for the best deal, but when it comes down to getting...

I went through boot camp with the M14, was it a good combat rifle ,yes, was it a target rifle as issued, NO. Can it be made to shoot well at distances over 300 yds, yes with work and money, will it approach the accuracy of a tuned bolt gun at 600+ yards, not likely, but somewhat close. I have a...

49.99 was for a stripped lower...

I live in a rural area, I don't have just one zombie gun I have a couple, and a few related shooters to carry them with me, here is my list with ammo in the bag 22LR Sig on the 45 platform 45 national match Rem. 870 12ga 26" barrel Rem 700 308 Varmint barrel AR 15 A2 M1A and in case I need to...

Rifle is a Remington 1903 A3 it is a std model Not a sniper that is called an A4, but are marked A3. The way you can tell is the roll mark on the rec which allows you to see US Rem and the serial # when the scope mount is in place, also the serial # is not in the A4 range. This rifle was made in...
