    Range Report 168 or 175 gr on a .308?

    Re: 168 or 175 gr on a .308? 168 Amax match ammo has been stellar in my SPS Varmint...haven't had them out past 600 yet but have heard they transition better than the 168 SMKs. I am going to develop my 1000 yard round with the 178 Amax however.

    Range Report 10 and 20 round groups

    Decided to try some extended round groups at 100 yards just to see what effect heat buildup would have on my rifle. Shot a 10 round group with around 20-30 seconds between shots that measured .947" and the following day shot a 20 round string the same way that came out to be 1.4 inches. I...

    Rebate on 700 SPS Varmint - first gun...

    Re: Rebate on 700 SPS Varmint - first gun... You will be very happy with that rifle. I got the same model in December and have loved it from day one. I switched the stock out to a B&C A3, put in a Shilen competition trigger, and topped it off with a 8.5-25x50mm Leupold VX-3 Long Range scope...

    My long throated 700

    Re: My long throated 700 I have not seated any...I just got the measurement using an OAL tool at the shop today. I will probably try and load some up tomorrow. If it turns out that I am able to move the bullet using only hand pressure I would assume I should just forget about chasing the...

    My long throated 700

    Well I got some 178gr AMAX's today and am going to try my hand at reloading for my 700VS(.308win)for the first time. Checked the OAL and came up with 2.935" to get .017" off the lands. With this measurement I am a little concerned about there only being .283"(not counting the Boat tail) of the...

    Range Report .50 BMG effects on target?

    Re: .50 BMG effects on target? Agreed...what a bunch of dimwits. They should have their hunting licenses revoked(if they have any that is).

    Savage 111 in 30-06. What to do??

    Re: Savage 111 in 30-06. What to do?? The 30-06 is a fine and very versitile caliber for everything from hunting to 1000yd target shooting. Having said that, If I were given $3000 to put in a rifle, I would look hard in the for sale section on here for something nice in .308win or .300win mag.

    new remington 700 sps varmint

    Re: new remington 700 sps varmint I have the same gun...ended up putting a Bell and Carlson on it the first week I had it. To free float the factory stock all you have to do is dremel off the two small tabs at the very front of the stock right under the barrel. IMHO I wouldnt go to the...

    Rifle Scopes Am I crazy?

    Re: Am I crazy? The Bushnell 3-12x44mm FFP Mil/Mil can be had for less than $600 right now. I don't think there is anything with the magnification you seek that I would give up the leupy for Until you get to Nightforce land. Some will probably tell you to give the Vortex Viper PST's a look...

    Rifle Scopes Am I crazy?

    Re: Am I crazy? If the Mark 4 is tracking right for you I would leave it be...when you do decide to switch go for nothing less than a Nightforce or IOR.

    SPS Varmint 308 with 26" 1-12 twist - 175SMK ?'s

    Re: SPS Varmint 308 with 26" 1-12 twist - 175SMK ?'s Thanks for the help guys. I'm gonna keep shooting the factory Hornady stuff out to 600 yards and concentrate my load development on one of the longer range bullets(175SMK,178AMAX,and 155 Scenar). Hoping to find a combo that will carry me...

    SPS Varmint 308 with 26" 1-12 twist - 175SMK ?'s

    I haven't begun to reload for my SPS-V yet but have tried several kinds of factory match ammo. I can't get a decent group with the federal 175gr SMK, and they seem to exhibit a lot of vertical stringing. For comparison, 168gr Hornady AMAX match consistantly yields .6" 5 shot groups for me...Do...

    Rifle Scopes whats wrong with leupold?

    Re: whats wrong with leupold? I'm curious to know if the new M5 FFP Mark 4's are of improved quality and are indeed USA made...I can get the 6.5-20x50 for around $1300 but threads like this make me very uneasy about Leupold.
