    Am I all wet here?

    I use a parting tool to cut a relief in the barrel and then use a rear entry wrench and this has worked great on the minimal number of 700's and Howa 1500's that I have done. I have no use for the factory barrels so I don't mind cutting the relief.

    Am I all wet here?

    I would be concerned removing a factory Rem 700 barrel using a rear entry wrench, it does not matter what barrel vise is used the torque required is the same so a rear entry wrench runs the risk of twisting the receiver.

    Email scam

    People are not as bad as they used to be, but it still amazes me how little analysis people do when they look at something they receive on the internet whether that is an email or website. A great example of that is the scam that was going around about if you forwarded this email to microsoft...

    LED lighting for chrono

    The use of IR LEDs is definitely a plus because most of the sensors used to pick up the light are mainly sensitive in the infrared. Most light sources give off some infrared light that is why bright lights of about any kind work.

    Remington 700 MilSpec 5R .223 Question

    This is the internet unsubstantiated rumors don't have to be true to have legs. Remember when people were convinced that Microsoft was going to send them $100 if they forwarded this email to them.

    super group or...world record...or impossible tale

    Let is pass, no need to risk friendship and hurt feelings. Also remember the saying "You can't push a rope." no matter what you say it is not going to change your friend's mind, so why frustrate yourself.

    Herters Variable Target/Varmint Scope

    There are people who collect Herters' catalogs, and a collector could probably tell you the exact years that scope was offered. I would imagine there is a group somewhere on the 'net of like collectors. The Herters catalogs were a great piece of creative writing, things like "Used by the...

    Florida Bill.......

    It would be as effective any other gun restriction law as we know when a guy leaves his place to rob a liquor store does not want to violate any laws so he would not take a gun with him if it were against the law.

    brux barrels

    I have shot about a dozen Brux barrels since they started to make them and have great barrels from them. When in a bind they helped me out so I buy my barrels strictly from them, there are other good barrel makers but Brux bent over backwards to help me fix a schedule problem so they get all of...

    6.5 saum

    I agree after having a 6.5 WSM whose accuracy only lasted 5-600 rounds, how is it possible to get upwards of 2,000 rounds out of a cartridge that has about the same capacity? I love 6.5's and think that if you can get 2,000 rounds accurately out of the 6.5 SAUM it would be a great F-Open round...
