    Rifle...what to do next??

    Thanks to all for the advice. I am putting my $$ in a 5-hour private instruction class with a local instructor. I was going to get a bipod, but I have a ruck and other things I can use for stability when I am prone, and I think I need to work on "me" before I work on the rifle.

    Rifle...what to do next??

    That sounds like wisdom; thanks for the advice. I would love to reload, but just not in the cards (well, budget) right now. Thank's for the welcome... I love my Marines, and they took care of me, too.

    Rifle...what to do next??

    I'm out now, but I can probably score one of the manuals. It would def be a good reference.

    Rifle...what to do next??

    I have a Super Sniper; I have a little money, not nearly enough for a new/better optic.

    Thanks for the gouge, Senior (I am former HM2 FMF, drank the kool-aid, got my commission).

    Rifle...what to do next??

    I have a Rem 700 SPS tac, and as I am a novice precision bolt shooter, I am happy with what it can do (though far less happy about what I can do with it). I have a tad bit of money I can add to it, not sure what to do. It has stock trigger/threaded barrel, EGW base, Burrix XTR rings, SS 10x...

    Accuracy Systems Rem 7400

    I know the Remington 7400 does not have a good rep. That said, one built by Accuracy Systems, is it any "better" or worth the purchase?

    Newbie looking for rifle

    I am by no means a SME, and I am still in the early stages of crawling in the crawl-walk-run method of progression. I used the intro rifle package over at sniper central as a guide. For me it is recreational, I do not compete, and I am not a sniper, so I am happy with what I have...for now...

    Which upgrade first??

    Update: ordered the Bushnell 10x mil-dot scope today; got it for a song. Next up: new trigger. I think I am on my way. Thanks to all for the replies.

    Which upgrade first??

    Maybe 1.5" at 100 yards, a bit over 2" at 200 yards. Incidently the scope I am looking at is the Bushnell Elite 10x.

    Which upgrade first??

    For what I shoot now, the scope isn't THAT bad. I read you, though, and do plan on some training.

    Which upgrade first??

    The Rem is on a B&C M40 stock, so I am good there. The scope is a cheap BSA mil dot that was given to me. So there.

    Which upgrade first??

    Thanks for the opinion. I will save myself the embarrassment of telling you what scope...suffice it to say, once I leave 200 yards I will need a new one.

    Which upgrade first??

    I have a Rem 700 SPS Tac with the original Rem trigger (x-mark). I have a marginal scope which is fine for the distances I shoot now (a couple hundred yards). I have some money to upgrade one now, but not the other, so where should I spend it: a Timney trigger, or a new scope (as I start to...
