    Rem700 5r gen 2 vs sendero 2

    Going to order one of these rifles for myself for xmas in 300win mag. I like the longer barrel of the sendero but the 5r has a threaded barrel saving me some coin on gunsmith expenses. Does either of these rifles typically outperform the other in the accuracy department?

    Late 70s Savage 112 single shot

    I picked up a Savage 112 j 243 win 26" hvy bbl single shot. It has small action bolt spacing but what would be stopping me from turning this into a 338edge other than Swapping bolt faces? I realize unloading a unfired round would mean removing the bolt I'm ok with that as fired rounds have...

    270 win cup and core vs bonded

    Long story short my new 270 likes to be loaded to near max with 60 gains of h4831 sc and 130gr hornady interlock bullets. The rifle wears a 26" barrel and while I haven't shot it through a chrono yet that load should be giving me 3200fps or so. I'm worried I'm gonna have a mess on my hands...
