Remington M700 6.5 Creedmore opinions.

I’ve had a weatherby vanguard 6.5 Creedmoor for a while and while it is serviceable as a hunting rifle, it just doesn’t hold tight groups as I would prefer. I’m not able to drop the big bucks on high end precision rifles so I kept my eyes open for a possible replacement. Not too concerned about looking pristine as long as the bore is fine and it hopefully shoots as desired.
So, I bid on and won this REM Model 700 that hopefully will fit the bill. The exterior has expected usage marks but they say it has an 24” threaded heavy target barrel with excellent bright bore. I’m hoping this will lend to better accuracy than the thinner vanguard barrel. I expect with the heavy barrel and laminated stock the entire package will be a good bit heavier than the vanguard with its tapered barrel and synthetic stock.
Though the matte grey phosphate finish isn’t perfect on this rifle, I would think it’s finished would be ideal for taking a future Cerakote or Duracoat spray finish of choice, if I ever decide it is necessary.

As Remington 700’s go, are there any opinions on this particular make and model, good or bad? Please share!! Did I do good?
Rifle should arrive Tuesday for better pictures.

Recap of the URSA NorCal Jan ‘25 event

Jan 23, 2025 - Recap of the URSA NorCal January ‘25 event (by RD, Lynn Dragoman; build info and notes from Oscar)

Well the rain finally stopped and we had an opportunity to shoot. Well, to be blunt about it, we had the opportunity to watch Amanda show us how to shoot.

She shot her way to two more achievement points by hitting 5/10 or more at 2147 yards with a gun she had previously won at last year's 3K match. [She is now an URSA Novice shooter, our first gal.] She then went on to win both matches at 2600 yards outright with no shoot off or sudden death involved. We are all very proud of how well she shot and she called all of the shots for the rest of the field as well via camera. And I even brought home several jars of jelly she made!!!

Her gun was a Savage chambered in 338 Lapua Ackley Improved with 300 grain A-tips with a keel added to the butt stock made by Doug Pulver. The trigger was smithed by Shaun Brady and she was using an ATACR scope from yours truly.

She then went on to beat Doug, Shaun, and yours truly in both of those matches!!!

The pictures show the weather was indeed very cold but the wind was good most of the day

A big congratulations goes to Shaun Brady on his 2 second place finishes as he was shooting well all day.

My only highlight was I finally qualified for the 3K match to be held in April and I got to eat lots of humble pie.

Match Winner (twice), Amanda, was shooting 300 gr. Hornady A-Tips out of her Savage 110 FCP HS Precision (factory action and modified factory stock) with 32” Bartlein barrel, chambered in .338 LM Improved by Jim’s Precision, and Nightforce 7-35x56 ATACR scope on ERATAC 0-70 MOA base and rings (on the 30 MOA Savage factory rail).

Match Runner-Up (twice), Shaun, was shooting 277 gr Cutting Edge MTACs out of his self-smithed Ruger Precision Rifle/RPR with 32” Bartlein barrel, chambered in 33XC, Ruger RPR chassis, Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56 scope on Ruger 30 MOA base w/ Vortex 20 MOA one-piece rings and 100 MOA/29MRAD Nightforce Wedge Prism.

Wet Mounting Scope Mounts - Where It All Started

I figure since Hakan did a video interview about it, maybe it’s time to bring all the testing to the light.

In a nutshell, I experienced a scope zero shift in 2015 from the rifle falling over in the hotel room at the Hide Cup. When i returned home and started testing to find the origin of the shift issue we had the first round of NF Atacr 5-25’s at the time and just had switched from our Schmidt PMII’s. What started as a test with a couple mounts on the range turned into an international effort across over a dozen companies. Some companies provided mounts for testing, others got involved in the testing, many different brands and types of optics were tested, various platforms, literally barrels were burnt out just doing the testing over the next 2 years. In the end all parties found no design fix to the inherent shift in the pic rail design. Spoiler: It can be reduced or almost totally mitigated by greasing the rail. Early on when I thought the scopes may be the issue, I spent a whole day at the S&B US Service center with Jerry Ricker absolutely beating up scopes, guns and mounts testing on the collimator and determined the optics weren’t the problem (that and Ryan Brandt from Big Dog Steel decided to JB Weld his scope into his rings and still had shift). Interesting note; a drop of a rifle from hip height on the scope yields consistent .2-.4 mil shift while a ‘dead blow’ on the objective yields up to 2.3 mils with some mounts. Once the shift occurs, you can retorque the mount cross bolts or hit the chassis of the rifle with a hammer and the shock will center the mount back to its zero position.

I found out greasing the rail fixes the issue by grabbing a set of brand new Badger rings out of the package covered in grease and was tired of prepping mounts so I slapped em on greasy and figured if they held zero I would remount them after a full cleaning. Well, sure enough they didn’t shift. So I said that’s it, I’m running Marty’s rings going forward. Pulled them, cleaned and remounted them. I decided to confirm the install and retested since I couldn’t believe everything shifts .9-2.3mils and these guys didn’t shift at all. Whelp, they shifted when retested and the only thing I did was degrease them. Further testing of all previous mounts greased yielded varying amounts of shift to no shift at all confirming the observation. During these tests, it became apparent overtouquing mounts made the issue worse. So make sure to torque only to mfg specs.

Also tested were oversized Pic Rails, polished pic rails, varying coatings on pic rails, from steel to aluminum. Even other types of rail designs were looked at, such as euro dovetail on AI and Sako rifles, those shifted as well.

Another interesting note is that we never saw scopes shift in any ring set we tried when mounted properly. That’s saying something since we literally were beating up 4x4 blocks with scopes and rolling rifles off the backs of truck for drop testing.

ETA: this is all about an observed windage shift. The number of recoil lugs or cross bolts made no difference. The grease prevents the mount from ‘sticking’ off center and allows it to find its center. The idea is, the mount will shift side to side when impacted, with a deadened blow there is a lack of residual vibration to keep the mount moving until it recenters and that’s why a by violent drop has 1/3 or less the shift of a deadened blow of the hand or a dead blow hammer tapped against the left or right side of the objective.
