    Issues loading brand new rem 700 sps tactical 308

    There is no marring but rather slightly scuffed. It seems like the rim of the cartridge is being prevented from slipping under the extractor. The fact that the lip of the extractor is slightly bigger than my other 308 makes it seem like maybe the extractor itself is preventing the rim from...

    Issues loading brand new rem 700 sps tactical 308

    I had another rem 700 in 308 laying around so I took the bolt out of the other 308 and put it in the sps tactical and the ammo loaded properly without jamming up. I noticed 2 differences in the bolts. The first is the ejector spring is allot more stiff in the new sps tactical. The other is...

    Issues loading brand new rem 700 sps tactical 308

    I believe the issue is the bolt. You can't see it very well but there are scratches on the inner edges of the bolt head. I did notice the ejector is harder to push in than on my other 700s. I can push the ejector in with my finger on my other 700s. This one I have to get a screw driver to...

    Issues loading brand new rem 700 sps tactical 308

    I thought that too but usually the bolt won't close if the screw is too long. That being said, I did take the stock off and it made no difference.

    Issues loading brand new rem 700 sps tactical 308

    I just bought a brand new rem sps tactical and tried to shoot it today. I had a carbon fiber stock and a timney adjustable trigger so I swapped them out before taking it out for the first time. Some of the rounds would not load at all, some loaded fine, and some it would not load at first and...

    Wtb Remage Barrel

    This is why people should post what they got rather than just sending a PM. The OP may not be interested but someone else might be. I am always looking for remage barrels for a new project.

    Trijicon sent me a 1099 for a Tenmile scope I got free with rebate

    They have the retail price listed as $2345 on their website so I don't think there is much he can do. It does suck. He is probably going to pay $500 for a free scope. I don't buy raffle tickets for fear of winning.

    Found out a new supply store is a scam !

    If there was, nobody would. Its not worth anyone's time or money not even the credit card companies who are losing billions every year. I guess they are making so much money that $30 billion in losses a year is a small fraction of what they are making. Usually its a few hundred dollars here...

    Found out a new supply store is a scam !

    Scam Advisor gives it a trust score of 1/100. Does not seem like its even safe just to visit the site itself.

    Number of shot opportunities

    I had it happen last year during muzzleloader during the rut. A buck came walking by my stand to my right. I shot and it ran about 30 to 40 yards and started walking and turned left and walked right out in front of me at about 60 yards. I was able to reload in the time it took for him to get...
