Well Gents, thank you for your kind replies and wishes. - Now, on another note, I went to Mike Bryant's web site, and he has suddenly retired. He states that work in shop will be completed, but no new work will be taken in. - So... he went on to recommend another master gunsmith, whom I...

Thanks Dr. Mike. You have always been a kind one to me, even when I screw up. I had my scope set on 6.5 power, and was ready this time. :grin: I am Sir... truely pleased with your advice, this gun, the gunsmith, and the young elk that I harvested this year. - BK... Thank you kindly for the...

I sent my new (15 rounds down the tube) Remington 700 Stainless Steel 300 RUM Sendero to benchrest Master Gunsmith Mike Bryant in Wheeler, Texas. - It seemed to shoot "so so" during the break in, so I asked him to "do whatever it takes to make it shoot" and he did just that, PLUS he took...

Just bought a new gun and scope. Bought the High and then after measuring the gap, bought the Low set of rings. Low looks pretty good to me with a nickel sitting under the scope bell. Was able to send the High ring set back. - BUILD: Remington 700 Stainless Sendero SF2 in 300 RUM. 20 MOA...

IMPORTANT UPDATE: On Thursday, two days ago, I purchased yet another Remington 700 Stainless that came from the factory with a "drop-in" H.S. Precision stock. Today, on a "hunch" I decided to remove the action and examined this new stock for "overspray". I wasted way too many rounds, time and...

I recently found my old target and stock photos, so here is a photo of the horizontal stringing problem that I had prior to bedding my H.S. Precision stock. - - Here below is a photo of the H.S. Precision stock just after I'd fully bedded it with Devon Aluminum. I know it looks rough, but it is...

Well gents, upon your promptings and in trying to "save face" the photo as seen was added. It is actually true as captioned ... BUT I must now finally confess, I personally failed to get an elk with my "tack-driver" Remington with bedded H.S. Precision stock. The rest of the story and the...

The results of my hunt. Thanks all!

Thanks for the best wishes guys! Back from work and getting ready to head out to the cold country now. Will be using the VOR-TX 168 grain, not the 150 grain soft point due to the additional weight. Am told that this all copper bullet will not break up, which is why I bought the E-tip Noslers to...

These are another box of store bought. Nosler handloads should be the "bomb!" :grin: Hunt is for Cow Elk, Dec 10th through Dec 19th, Arizona, Springerville area. Gotta run... ZOOOOM!

These are store bought I had on hand, NOT hand loads. I am out of time. Will hand load after hunt.

UPDATE: Fully bedded the H. S. Precision Stock with Devcon Aluminum. 50 inch pounds of torque on both screws. Groups are now tight, really tight. Can cover my shots with a dime at 200 yards folks. I'm off to hunt elk. :grin:

Just purchased a box of 50 ea. Nosler E-Tip at 180 Grain to try working up a load in my 308 Remington 700 5R SS. Anyone out there tried these all copper bullets, and have any experiences to share? I am using Federal Gold Match Brass, fire-formed and fully worked except for sizing, where I size...

Still searching, I came across some posts about H. S. Precision stocks at another web site. These posts were made back In Feb 1999. The two bloggers that grabbed my interest are JP and another named JR and at that time this JR appears to be an H.S. Precision employee. JP in Texas asked this JR...

Tex, after thinking about your post, I took my trusty black marker, and "painted" the "shooters" side of the lug on this Remington 700 SS. Next I carefully lowered the action into the H.S. Precision stock. Finally, I pressed the rounded area of the action into the U-shaped aluminum bedding block...

In searching for information, I found an article about bedding written by Gale McMillan. (McMillan Stocks in Phoenix) I've been studying it before I give this H.S. Precision bedding project a try. (Edited due to the link went "dead" that was here, but the one below is good.) - - - Found another...

Thanks Tex! Nice tight group. Congrats! :grin: I think I may have found the release agent you used online... "Sno-seal•Beeswax Formula Dries To A Solid Wax Surface" I read that when bedding one wants a very thin layer of release agent so that the fit is accurate, but more than one coat, dried...

Hey Tex, you have my attention. Can you give me some details on the method you used to bed the lug? Did you fill the whole area, filling in both sides of the lug? Did you use a thin layer of Kiwi neutral shoe shine paste as a release agent? In my opinion, I cannot see how a drop-in can always...

Thanks DrMike for the instructions as to how to post photos. :) - Here is the way the H. S. Precision stock that came with my Remington 700 SS 5R looked upon removing the action. You can see that the "over-spray" broke loose and slid down upon torquing the screws. Both sides are similar. I...

I am told that it is what had to be done. I do not recommend the stock, as so far it was not manufactured with good quality control in my opinion. I was hoping to help some that might have purchased a rifle with an H. S. Precision stock, and may be having poor groups as I am. The gun is a...
