The reasoning behind the sucess (and preference from a manufacturer standpoint) of the 7mm-08 over the 7X57 is a simple one. All 7mm-08s can be loaded to modern day standards. The same can't be said for the 7x57. It's the reason the 450 marlin came into existence. Similar sized cartridge with...
Not sure how much you would gain with a different stock. Especially since the cheap flimsy stock on my savage never touches the barrel and assuming that yours is the same way.
The accu-trigger on mine is nice. If your factory trigger "sucks" you could get a new one. I think that would be a...
Go really slow......
I've hit them with hammers. While pretty cool and noisy, it's not like a bomb either. Make sure you have the safety glasses on.
Officially, we all are telling you not to do it....But....
It really depends on what you're reloading too. You could save a bundle on some type, but not others. Typical FMJ (handgun and rifle) you probably wouldn't save a ton. But if you're looking to try out lead bullets and/or "better" bullets the savings could be quite significant.
Plus many of us...
Same thing or not (they're not quite the same from a techical standpoint any 5.56 will eager accept .223 ammo. The difference is in the fact that 5.56 guns will accept longer bullets than what a 223 will.) however as a customer if I want 5.56 ammo I want 5.56 ammo. They're not the same thing. If...
You can also get WSM barrels for it too. You can get different sized bolt faces for them.

Edit: My bad, they only fit the 3 digit ones.
I don't understand what the big deal is with that style of a receiver. Remington has one now (770), Browning (X-bolt). Compared to their regular bolts the 770 and the x-bolt are no where as smooth and certainly do not have that super nice finished look. They're cheap because they're cheap in my...
I'm "against" break in. If your rifle has "tooling" marks and "pits" the copper from your bullets will fill them in and essentially smooth out the bore. One could make an argument about the "high spots" but I doubt that after a hundred rounds of 60000PSI and 7000 degree momentary temps that...
