    New to Sniper's Hide- and I just picked up a Remmy 700 5R Milspec .308

    Like what was posted earlier, you should probably SKIP the BDC reticles. I think Boone and Crocket reticles are BDC also. BDCs are only accurate for one projectile traveling at a certain velocity in a certain atmosphere. The BDC is not completely useless, it is just more of an estimate than a...

    Which rifle?

    My late great uncle killed a black bear with a .410 with bird shot, that does not mean that it is the idea choice for that application? Notice how every SINGLE round you mention has a whole lot flatter trajectory than the .308? They are all a whole lot more forgiving of a misjudged range...

    OP didn't say if he hand an AR. But the .300 BLK is just a versatile, if not more so.

    Lightweight Supressed rifle help

    On paper the .300 BLK has better ballistics than the 5.56/.223. People get the 5.56 out to 500yds all the time. I think the .300 BLK will easily go to 500yds.

    So is THIS what yall ment by Remington quality now days? HELP

    If its not the scope (you said you had it on a LaRue) It is not the rings or base loose. The action screws are torqued properly. The barrel isn't contacting the stock. The crown isn't damaged. And you are sure it isn't the ammo, or the shooter. Then I would send it back. Somebody probably just...

    Did I screw up and buy the wrong R700?

    The R700 action is one of the most versatile action around. Many of the best gunsmiths in the US are highly familiar with the 700 platform. If a gunsmith is good enough for me to take my firearm to, he/she most likely can (and will) work wonders on the 700. Many specialize in 700 type actions...

    Which rifle?

    You took an elk with an arrow at medium to long range? The .270 and the 30-06 both pack a whole lot more power than the .308. I would take either of them hunting elk at distance. The .308 with many "hunting" bullets is losing a bunch of steam at "medium" ranges and lacks a lot of punch at...

    Did I screw up and buy the wrong R700?

    If I am not mistaken, it is the same receiver. I have taken one out of the stock and didn't notice any difference, but I wasn't looking for a difference. I think you could just buy any long action stock and it will fit your receiver. If not, a qualified gunsmith should be able to make it work...

    Which rifle?

    I would look past the .308 if you want to hunt elk.

    New rifle

    Nikon makes, in my opinion, a good optic. They are better suited for hunting than LR shooting though. Mine tracked reliably when I sighted it in, but I don't know about the long term reliability of the tracking. In a hunting scope, I just zero at 200 and leave it there. With a long range...

    Newbie needs some advice

    I have heard nothing but good reviews on the SWFA Super Sniper scopes. They are relatively inexpensive.
