    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    Nice choice! I have a 5-20 SWFA on my 6.5x47. I'm happy with it. So you are not too far off probably another $200+/- between the two. I like the harris bipods. I guess by now I should have gotten an Atlas just for kicks. As for the base I have used cheap ones and not so cheap and I can't...

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    I can't talk you out of it but you could look at this several ways. 1. I got one a few years back, it shot very well stock at 100 yards with box ammo (168 hornady's). I never got it out any further than that before I started monkeying around with it. I knew very little at the time and now...

    I used a A1-3 with a model 70 in 30-06. I liked it. If I could get another one I'd probably try the game scout or an A-3 sporter.

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    Solid! I know what my 6.5x47 does and I can't get anything to work quite like it. Enjoy Bluto77! As for the 260 I've just not been interested in the slight differences between the two rounds. I say try one or the other the 6.5 bullets are great! I like to use the 140's or 130's.

    Tikka Factory Barrel Quality

    I just got a 7mm-08 tikka t3 lite stainless. I shot 140 gr Remington core-lokt and federal fusion 120's through it and was able to score 1" or less. Same as ddavis stated if I pushed for fast follow ups nothing got bigger than 2 inches. I would avoid doing anything to the rifle for a while...

    Rifle Scopes Blurry every time it goes bang- bushnell elite 4200

    I was taking a class using a bolt gun and swfa 5-20. I was shooting at a target and noticed that my focus was jumping around after my shot. I told my instructor and he came over and fanned the barrel and the issue went away. It might just be that simple?

    Decisions decisions... New to long range shooting

    I gotta jump in and say "don't touch that thing!!!" If it works that well go take a class and get yourself educated first. I wish I had done that first, you are a young guy and I know when I was your age I liked to dick with things and it just cost me more money to find out I didn't like...
