I hadn't noticed that they list the optimal twist rate on the box. I checked a box of 35 grain bullets I have on hand and there it was-1:14". Learned something new today!

Thanks Rick. The 722 trigger is close but has a couple of minor differences from the 700. I'd really appreciate it if you could send me the exploded view of a 722 trigger assy. I searched all over the net for one but came up empty. I have a new Remage style barrel on order for this rifle and will ev...

I need some help on a Remington 722 trigger group. I was cleaning this .257 Roberts in preparation for an upcoming hog hunt and removed the trigger group. The spring that I assume is the sear spring fell out before I noted where it was in the assembly and I can't see where or how it goes in. I did a...

That's some pretty darn good shooting! I can't even see a target at 500 yards which is the max at the local outdoor range.

Sounds like a sweet set-up! I'm headed to Eagle Lake today and bringing the small arsenal with me in case the alfalfa has been cut where I usually go. Also bringing some reloading equip. so I can work up some more loads for the VT. I have something for varmint shooter and will try to make contact wh...

Wow! That's really reaching out and touching someone. What rifle were you using?

Looks like it was a great day. I'm hoping to make it up that direction this weekend to get away from the valley heat. I'm still working on loads for the VT but having fun shooting it. Frustrating sometimes when you think you've got it all dialed in, something comes up and you're back to square one. ...

Looks like it was a good shoot. I hope to get up there sometime next week for a couple of days and hoping they've had a chance to bale some of the fields. R!

.20 VT on table.jpg .20 VT and squirrel.jpg 10-22 and squirrel.jpg I finally got my VT put together in time for a squirrel shoot up in NE Ca. I had planned to build it over the course of the summer but once I started I couldn't stop. I did a quick sight in between rain storms on Saturday but it was...

The .204 barrel I used on my AR came from Shilen and included a serial # matched bolt. Maybe your gunsmith (Mike) can provide a bolt to fit the 224 Valkyrie. I took the .223/5.56 bolt out of the carrier and installed the .204 bolt in it's place with out any problems. Should work for the 6.8 as well....

I know the alfalfa will be too tall to see through but there's a lot of dirt levee roads on this one ranch and we're hoping to set up shoot around those. Next Saturday is also the opening weekend for trout at Eagle Lake where I'll be staying so I'll be up there anyway. Might as well see if there's s...

Nicely done. Glad you took the time for some photos. I'm planning to join my son and his friends early next week for 4 days in the hay fields in NE calif. but suspect the alfalfa is going to be too tall to shoot and too short to mow. They're hoping I'll go up (4 hour drive) a day or so early to give...

Agree. R!

That'll look good next to my name in the forums!!!
Seriously though, I like the design. Randy.

Sounds like it was a weekend of shooting. We need to meet for a morning of shooting at the range. I'll call later this week. Randy.
