Yes, there is bedding compound in the barrel channel. The B&C stock needed the barrel channel opened up for the magnum contour barrel. So I taped the barrel up with a few layers of tape to make sure it would float once it was bedded. That way the bedding sealed the open pores in the barrel...

Yes I bought it because I thought I would like the higher comb. So far it feels nice, but I haven't shot it yet.

Over the last few months I have been doing some work on my 300 RUM. I finally got the scope mounted tonight and I am pleased with how it turned out. (of course I haven't shot it yet). I am happy to say that anything custom on this gun, I have done myself, and it was my first time doing any of...

Yes it has always been a 300 RUM, and I am unsure what the feed lip is? I have a friend that is going to look at it, usually he knows his stuff better than I do. In the mean time I will just be careful when shooting it.

Hey everyone, I am finishing up my semi custom build on my 300 RUM model 700 BDL. When I try to load the gun from the magazine it does not want to load from the left side of the mag. Also if I load a 3rd one in the belly, it doesnt want to load that one either. It keeps launching the shells out...

I'm sure this is all over on these forums, but to be honest, I would rather have my specific question answered. I shoot a 300 RUM, still with the factory remington 26" 1:10" barrel. I used to shoot the 210 VLDs from it, they never quite shot how I wanted them too and since I am doing a little...

My buddy has a T3 .308 win. He had average accuracy with it out of the box but then he put about 100 bucks into it with some parts from tikkaperfomance.com, they make a kit that replaces all the cheesy plastic pieces like the bolt shroud, and some type of recoil lug upgrade too. I doubt that...

Thanks, that is what I decided to do, just primed 60 cases with the correct primers and pulled the bullets then reset them into the new cases. Just to make sure because I haven't ever done it, it is okay to just fire the primed cases from my gun? Or should I just load a lighter load into those...

Also I have a deer hunting load that is hotter that shoots fine out of this gun with no pressure signs, that load is 6.2% hotter than the berger manual recommends and I have never had any issues. (obviously a bigger bullet 65 grns) This load is only 1.4% hotter than max load from the same manual.

Okay, so i was reloading my 22-250 today and made a bit of a mistake. My current load is 55grn Nosler Varmigeddon with 36 grains of IMR 4064 at 2.385" OAL and CCI No. 200 primers, which is already pushing a maximum load. Anyways, I grabbed two packages of primers to load up 60 rounds and after I...

We opened the bolt up and cleaned the firing pin. I'm not quite sure what I was looking for, I'm no expert on that stuff and I've never had a model 70 so I am going into this clueless.

Thanks guys, I will have him look into it. I would like to think his barrel isn't home because I doubt its had more than 300 rounds thru it. But again, its not my rifle so I'm not entirely sure. I'll have him look at the firing pin issue. He was thinking of rebarelling it into something with...

Hey everybody, a buddy of mine has a model 70 243 wssm and we went out to the range today and he was testing a varmint load (62 grn Barnes Varmint Grenade w/ 58 grns H380 at 2.250" OAL). Anyways he shot them today and was having trouble closing the bolt, but the rounds did chamber. Finally i...

I am considering getting a 6-24X50mm viper scope. I want the exposed turrets and the ability to have a zero stop. I like the idea of a first focal plane scope but it isnt really all that important to me, nor is a lighted reticle. So, what are the other differences between the scopes? I have...

I have a TC venture predator. I love the gun, and part of the reason I bought it was the finish (I'm a sucker for snow camo) . Anyways, I have been noticing some small chips in the finish. So far, it is nothing that affects the look of the gun but I am afraid that the chipping might spread. Does...
