    triggers for rem 700

    Had some modified 700 triggers. One on the -06 failed and would go off once the safety was released. The local range master told me I am not the only he has seen that happen to. Probably related to the same gunsmith... who knows. With that: My 700's now have Timney's, Schillens and...

    Retumbo loads?

    Diver- I tried Retumbo in my wife's 7mm-08 and did no go so well using 140g Accubonds. Settled on Varget for that rifle. If memory serves correctly and don't use this without verification, but it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 40g of retumbo. Good Luck WM

    165 Interlock. Up until last year, its all I used in my older Remington 30-06. That bullet has harvested wild hogs, to Elk and a lot in between.

    adjustable bjective crucial to accuracy at 400+ yds?

    I think the AO is a joke, or it was for me. I spent more time peeking over the tip of the scope to make sure it was adjusted correctly. I use a fixed parallax scope to hit hit yotes to 400 yards with no problem. I say, if your rifle/scope combo is hitting on all cylinders and you are...

    Switching scopes ?

    Now this topic hits home for me. I was not a swapper until the last couple of years. 1st Rifle swap: - My sweetheart 30-06. Up until two years ago, it had a redfield scope that my dad put on it in '81. It got to the point of uselessness because it would fog up with a little bit of humidity...

    This load was sweet. 35 g and the recoil was a lot less than I anticipated. I got a group of about 1 3/4" at 100 yards with the iron sites. Worked great! Thanks for that. Next on the docket, some 170g lead and some Varget down the tube :twisted: More to come :mrgreen:

    45 debate: 1911 or Sig

    Agreed. Never had a reason to call the customer service line other than for a estimate to re-finish one of my older units....

    Thanks all. All we have is about 8 150 grain core-lokt rounds. So I am actually excited about trying some heavier bullets and getting this rifle back to its former glory. One more project to kill some time this winter :grin:
