Anything over thirty inch pounds can crush the stock wood. Maybe it won't split the stock but it will put a balancing act on the action you will never be done with. Pillar bed the stock and be done with it.

Nightmann is correct. The 22 Jet ammo is loaded with .222" bullets which were made for the S&W model 43 which shot both 22LR ammo and 22 Jet ammo both of which are .223 diameter. It was presumed the .222" diameter bullets produced lower pressure in the revolver. Hornady is still making 222 diameter bullets and PRVI is still making brass in 22 Jet. I'll bet the bore on your rifle is .223". You will have to check that out by slugging the bore. You can send 4 or 5 fired cases and Whidden can probably make you a set of dies. You're probably looking at $200 for a set but talk to them. That's probably more than the rifle is worth but then there is that family thing.

Are you sure it isn't a 22 Jet? No Super in the name. Also known as Remington 22 Jet. Case was based on 357 Mag case and so was the 256 Win Mag.

Great guy to do business with! Buy with confidence!

Yep ten four there buddy! We'll have an XP100 jam session! I'll show you some XP's that shoot 1 inch groups at 300 yards! Love XP's

Four digits only made in 1963 so second letter in barrel code must be a K. First letter in code will be the month it was made in 1963. The code is on the left side of the barrel by the recoil lug. A 'CK' code would be April, 1963. If you buy it bring it over and we'll shoot the crap out of it to see if it's for real, LLOl ! If you don't buy it let me know, I'll give you a finder's fee. These have really lost some value in the past five years as the "baby boomers like me have stopped collecting them and the new generation like you don't have an idea of their value. My prediction is the prime specimens like the one you're referring to will come back in the next ten years and double or triple in value. But then will the Democrats outlaw firearms and then will it become a piece of useless junk?!!

I sent you a pm and the $800 is pretty close. check to see if barrel code is 1963.

Condition of case, bore, and overall will dictate price. Hard black zippered case with Dupont logo?

I bought it and want to say that it was exactly as Frank represented it. Maybe better. Great guy to deal with, AAA+.

I bought the stock. Honest guy to do business with. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Would recommend!

Check Gunbroker. I just bought a complete brand new heavy barrel Remington 700 w/scope and camo stock for $429 from Georgia Gun. You can sell scope, stock, and barrel and you'll have less than $200 in the action, both .378" and .473" bolt face guns are available. Great price!! You may want to specify what bolt face size you want in your ad.

Buy with confidence, Jim is great to deal with!!

Well said 10 Turkeys, one shot one kill with an accurate rifle is all one needs! One of the drawbacks the Tikka has is a long free bore, it's a lawyer thing and it's not the only rifle on the market with beaucoup free bore! I have a friend with a long action Tikka in 260 Rem. After a long conversation with him about the generous free bore in his Tikka rifle, he bought a Tikka long magazine and modified the bolt stop and viola now that he's able to seat bullets closer to the rifleing and he has a very accurate rifle. Now this is a medium length cartridge in a long action so the same may not be possible with a longer cartridge. The trick is modifying the bolt stop.

Nice job with the stock. If you don't have brass that has been fireformed to the chamber, fireform new brass first before working on a load. Is this a factory chamber and do you know barrel twist? Also is this a repeater or a single shot? Repeater or single shot will dictate your seating depth and CBTO. After fireforming uniform primer pockets and flash holes. Use a headspace guage to set up sizing die and bump no more than .002". Make a dummy round and find maximum CBTO for your rifle. Hopefully you have a caliper and a bullet comparator to measure the cartridge base to ogive or CBTO. The best way to find CBTO is to remove the firing pin assembly from your bolt and seat in small increments until you feel just a slight pressure on closing of the bolt. This will be the "touch" measurement or touching the lands. From there you will move either into the rifleing or "jam" or away from the rifleing or "off". Start at .010" off for your ladder test and work your powder load in .3 increments from moderate to max. CFE has a good burn rate for heavier bullets in the 223 so it should do well with the 53gr. Vmax. All this may sound like a lot of work but it will bring the best accuracy out your rifle.

Only one way to go. Redding bushing full length die, Redding competition shell holder set, and Wilson straight line seater. The shell holder set will allow you to set the shoulder bump at .002". The bushing die will allow you to set the bullet grip or tension dead nuts on. And the Wilson seater will give you the best runout. If you're a serious target shooter, Neil Jones dies would be even better. Spend good money on dies and they'll give a lifetime of great shooting!

Is the Black Cat still open? I thought they ran out of bar flys, hee,hee, ho, ho! Now you know what G&F does with those extra dollars you give them.

Hush you insignificant blow hard. It is not mere pictures that signify success! It is the actions of success itself that prove thine actions. Touche!

I wouldn't want to make you cry, LOL!

I think Lance knows what he's doing! Some of us really go to the extreme! This post is not about slamming anybody or any product. It's just the truth about the what the market has become. The word " precision" is a marketing ploy that is aimed at the "unknowing". Minute of angle or minute of deer is what some folks are willing to accept. As a competition shooter I only accept zero groups!

This wasn't the only set of Seekins that needed lapping. As a matter of fact only about 10% of Precision Seekins and Vortex were good to go without lapping. They may make them as 'matched pairs' but the fact that they do not number them makes me doubt they are matched. That's not to say other makes of rings have been just as bad or worse. The best bang for your buck are TPS rings, about $40 less than Seekins and yes they'll need lapping too. Over the past twenty years of mounting hundreds scopes for my rifles and many friends' rifles, there has only been a few sets of rings that only needed minor lapping. The best being Kelbly rings mounted on Panda dovetails and Nightforce rings on Nightforce piccatinney rails. Are you checking bearing surface with dykem? Understand that the proper mating of ring and scope surfaces is dependent on a straight and true mounting base. That is a truly straight action with a true mounted base. That's why I recommend bedding a scope base on a factory action. Proper ring and base torque will not leave marks but also will allow true adjustment of scope and increased longevity of scope performance. Performance meaning repeatability of adjustments and security of maintaining POI. That last word "performance" is an issue most folks don't take into consequence when properly mounting a scope. I learned all this some 50 years ago from my mentor a benchrest competitor! I might add that a true precision rifle is only as good as the scope and mounting system! Well maybe the guy behind it too, LOL!

BTW, Midway has Howa 1500 picatinney one piece base on sale, 50% off. Good deal and free shipping over $49

I just lapped a set of Seekins rings that had only 10% bearing surface touching the scope. Seekins and Vortex in the same sentence with the word precision is an oxymoron, LOL! They're good rings after they've been lapped but nothing you should be paying extra for. Whatever rings you buy lap them and if you buy a picatinney one piece base bed it so it'll mate properly with your receiver. The average factory receiver is not straight.

I've been reloading for over 50 years now for both competition and hunting. Belted cartridges can be headache. The 28 Nosler best out of the cartridges you mentioned.

You're better off buying a stock from Richards micro fit and fitting in a slot for the peep. I believe Richards will mill it in for you. This refinishing and modifying is still going to leave you with a very modified rifle with very little collector value left any way. I've been collecting Remington 722 rifles for years and have never seen a factory original stock with a peep sight cutout. I have several 722's in my safe and none have a peep sight cutout.

Oh yee of limited intelligence. There is more than "ten ways to skin a cat", LOL!!
