    Ring Height on a Heavy Barrel?

    I just purchased a 700 SPS Varmint and I'm getting a new scope. I'm cheaping out and getting a Bushnell Banner 6-18x50. My question is do I need extra high rings or can I get by with just high rings? Someone said the 50mm objective and heavy barrel would mean I need extra high.

    Trouble Taking Off Sights

    I just got a Model 700 ADL .270. I got the rear sight off with no problem, but I cant get the front sight off. I guess it has loctite on it? I hold the gun while someone tries to unscrew it, but it wont budge. Any suggestions?

    New Gun Decision

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I'm 18 and have been hunting since I could hold a gun. I've been using my dad's .30-06 Weatherby the past couple of years and after having the scope graze my eyebrow twice, I'm looking at buying a new gun. I've narrowed it down to a Remington 700 SPS Stainless and...
