I am trying to keep the cost reasonable. I don't need a competition gun. I want to keep hunting with it and pass it on someday. I don't mind sending it out for quality work.

I was given a pristine 90's Remington 700 ADL in .270 Win several years ago from an older friend who has since died. I harvested a doe and a buck with it this fall but ruined the barrel dealing with an obstruction (looooong story). I was sick over it! It is a nice rifle, and I would like to...

I’ve purchased 2-3 complete PSA lowers on sale over the years, and they all have arrived in great condition with good assembly. I’ve used one of the complete PSA lowers quite a bit over the years, and it has been completely reliable.

The struggle is real. I picked up several AM and RRA stripped lowers for a very low price recently. Not sure what I will do with them, but they were too cheap and available to pass up. Don’t know what the future holds. i watch the parts sales sections on forums and buy when new and like new...

I have bought them at grocery stores before. I was surprised to see them there.

I just put together a pistol a 6 weeks ago and do not find the brace uncomfortable or unwieldy to use. The design of the brace is important and should be considered carefully. I like it a lot.

I’ve had a Ruger PC carbine for several years. It has been totally reliable with Glock and Magpul mags and every type of ammo I have subjected it to so far. I find the iron sights awkward but accurate. I put a section of ladder rail cover over the receiver picatanny rail to prevent damage to the...

I just bought a Ruger American Ranch In .300 BLK a couple of weeks ago. I really like the rifle and caliber. I shoot and handload supersonic ammo so far. The rifle is compact, lightweight, and handy. The bolt movement was sticky when I first got it but has smoothed out nicely with use. The Gen...

I know 19.0-19.5gr is a good load of W296 with a 110 V-Max.

I have never liked pulling the expander button through the neck when resizing rifle brass. It seems that it causes the case length to grow more than I want even though I carefully lube inside the necks. I hate trimming cases often. I thought about using the dies with neck bushings, but it...

I ordered the DNZ one piece mount (low). Seems simple to install and rugged. The price is right too.

I just bought a new Leupold VX-2 3-9X40 scope on a great Cyber Monday deal. Now I need to buy receiver bases and scope rings for my Remington 700 in .270 Win. I have never understood or liked the dovetail style scope mounts. I have become pretty used to using the weaver/picatinny style rails...

I fired three rounds, one handload and two factory loads, without a problem this afternoon. The primers show strong indention. I’m going to chalk it up to a high or faulty primer. I’ll also have the bolt checked eventually. I understand disassembly of the bolt requires a tool.

The rifle in question is a Remington 700. It was purchased in the mid 90’s but almost never shot. I inherited it from an old friend a month ago. I bet he only shot 5 rounds with it (I was with him 9 years ago). It was clean and in 99% condition when it was given to me. I’ve shot about 20 rounds...

Interesting that several of you suggested a high primer. I had not considered that possibility, I seat the primers with a seating die by feel. Maybe so. I thought maybe it was crud in the firing pin mechanism or excessive headspace. The rifle was bought new in 1995 and hasn’t been fired...

Thank you for the reply. I will clean the bolt. Any idea about Federal primers being a little more sensitive than others?

Are Federal brand large Rifle primers more sensitive than other brands? I know people believe Federal primers are the most sensitive of pistol primers. I had an unfortunate situation yesterday where I fired at a deer with a handload using CCI BR large rifle primers and the only sound was a...

Appreciate the responses and ideas. The screws are already really tiny. I think I would find it impossible to grind or sand anymore off the bottom. I thought about filling the holes with some sort of black epoxy or something that I could wipe flush. Any thoughts about that idea?

I recently inherited an excellent condition but older Remington 700 ADL in .270. I am really proud to own this rifle and plan to use and reload for it. I removed the iron sights and filled the holes with the correct filler screws. The filler screws look okay for the rear sight holes but they...

I shot loads of 5.6, 5.8 and 6.0gr of Power Pistol with 124gr FMJ RN bullets at 1.140" OAL (Win primers, FC brass) this afternoon. All were accurate and reliable in my CZ 75 B and Glock 34. Recoil at 6.0 PP was noticeably more pronounced than at 5.6 and 5.8 No signs of excessive pressure...
