    Trigger Job or Aftermarket Trigger?

    X2 So many great options for the 700 platform. I’d buy a nice aftermarket one.

    X2 I LOVE the Arc rings, used to be called m10, now called mbrace rings I believe.

    Is there an advantage to mil over MOA?

    Personally I would memorize my DOPE at distances I could be shooting at. Where I hunt the shots are generally less than 100 yards, but know my DOPE for that rifle/load out to 350. If I had to shoot further I would do it ahead of time and know. IMO there’s too much error relying on just math...

    Is there an advantage to mil over MOA?

    If I were shooting that far at an animal I wouldn’t depend on math, I would depend on DOPE and already know my adjustments out the distance I’d be comfortable shooting.

    Is there an advantage to mil over MOA?

    Either one is fine. If being used properly, the argument of meters vs yards is out the window. They are simply tape measures in different scales. You shouldn’t be saying an inch high at 400 yards, you should be saying .25 min high because you measured it with your scope, and then adjusted...

    Action / Trigger job on a 629-1

    Give them a call at the number listed. I had to send one back for service one time and it was the best customer service Iv ever dealt with.

    Action / Trigger job on a 629-1

    Nice gun. I love 44 mags, Iv got 2 in the 629 platform. A -3 classic hunter and a -5 classic in 5” with a factory trigger/action job. The -5 has a very nice trigger. I too would check with smith as they may offer these services, unless someone else chimes in with a famous S&w gunsmith.

    .223 bolt action as a plinker/trainer

    Depending on the platform, you can swap barrels relatively easy and just have one set up. I believe the tikkas they make pre fits for. I’m waiting on my zermatt origin barreled action to come in. I got it in .223 for now but I will get other barrels down the road and can swap the bolt...

    35 Remington

    I didn’t realize they stopped. I feel like Iv seen some on a shelf within the past year, although I could be mistaken.

    450 bushmaster

    16” would leave plenty of room for a can. Maby I could sell my 5-25 and buy something more suited for this. I wouldn’t want to take too big of a hit on it, not sure what I could get for it. What’s the realistic effective range from a 450 BM in a bolt gun?

    450 bushmaster

    Hi guys. I live in SE Pennsylvania and they recently passed that straight wall rifle cartridges are allowed. I sold one of my slug guns and I have a scope laying around (leupold mark 5 hd 5-25 with pr1 moa reticle.). I’m on the fence of either selling the scope and using my 44 mag lever gun...
