I lurk a lot more than I post, but good to have you here to join the fun.

I prefer to sit back and let the "grownups" talk and see what they can teach me!

Good to meet you 604, I'm from Bardstown.

I may let my fiancé use it for deer, shoot them close range in the head. She has a hard time handling the R700 5R

I consider myself a fair shooter, but there is better. I assume your better. Hell most of the forum users are probly better than me.

In my 19 years of life I've shot 13of them, but only been prone...

Arkansas89, I took it out today after the shortened barrel, installed Vortex Crossfire, and upgraded the stock.

And quoting you, you should be "impressed"

Shot 3 sub-MOA 3-shot groups.
First...

I appreciate the replies.
I was curious as I will be deer hunting from the top of a hill, <15* or so, shooting at the max 400yds. Just curious if I should even worry about the angle. But it seems to...

I understand that when firing on an angle your trajectory changes, Im curious, at what degree does it begin to make a difference?

For instance, I zero my rifle on a 5degree or so downward slope...

Im not really sure what I would like to do to my 700 5R, It has a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50, HS Precision stock, Witt Machine brake, Im happy with the factory trigger, recent DuraCoat job. The only...

I only paid $999 for my 5R, LEO discount, and tax free, walked out for $960.

I honestly went into KyGunCo looking for a Savage 110FCP and happened to notice the 5R, had briefly read about them...

don't get me wrong, I am by no means looking to replace my 5R .308, Im looking into a .223 bench rifle and stumbled across this one. I didn't want to be let down by its performance for that price...

Wasn't too displeased with the action or trigger. Just was hoping it could compare in terms of accuracy to the 5R

Ive been looking at a savage model 12 in .223 Remington.
It has the 26" fluted stainless barrel, Accutrigger, Chaote stock, mediocre Simmons 4-24x50 scope, and some cheapo NC Star Bipods.
The stock...

I'm a fan of the Witt machine clamp on breaks (can be located on the 5R .308 pictured above.)

And Hypo, the one on the right is a Bersa Thunder .40, while the left is a Ruger P90 .45

Playing around with the savage.
I fiberglassed the forend, with 3/4" dowel rods. Then covered it all in FlexSeal for a waterproof, high traction, low gloss finish....

What about for an Ar15 brake? Don't want a suppressor

as it states above, I want to shorten my barrel.

Savage Axis .223, I wanted a 18" barrel. Is this ok for .223? And is the cut, file, sand, and crown method effective? I only paid $175 for this...

thanks nate, and thats the reason I mentioned that. I have read in the past the using solvents will remove the material that bulids up in the microscopic pores of the barrel. these pores when cleaned...

basically as the title states.

If I take my rifle out and fire 20 or so rounds (in groups of 3 to get a cold bore zero), and establish a zero Im confident with, then bring the rifle inside, run a...

really? Ive heard results of 1 MOA or a little better from the .223 axis. never witnessed it. But read on forums

So I have a Remington 700 5R .308, Vortex Viper Pst 4-16x50 Mrad, HS precision stock, Witt Machine brake. This may not be to the degree of some of the rifles of the forum, but it can out shoot me...

i do not have intentions of keeping the trigger in in the dpms kit for very long. i plan on eventually upgrading to something alittle crisper. but we should also keep in mind here, this will not be a...

Most of the parts i have looked at are

Anderson mfg- Stripped upper and barrel
Rockriver arms- pre-assembled bolt group
dpms- full lower parts kit
colt- buffer, tube, and spring
Yankee Hill-...

I already have a Anderson MFG. lower, model AM-15. (Had to get my dad to register it, as you must be 21 instead of 18)

I can get headspace gauges from a now retired police officer who worked...

when is timing a barrel nut required? some videos i have seen the guys simply puts it on and tightens to spec. no kind of "timing"

also, how likely is it that buying quality parts i will have a...

so i have a few more questions

timing? a video i was watching showed a special barrel nut that had a port in the top of it. the guy lined this up (within the torque range) and put in a set screw
