    Range Report .308 175 SMKs VS 178 AMAX???????

    I actually shot both through my SPS Varmint today. The 168 SMK were 1/2'' at 100 and the A Max were all but touching within 1/8'' 3 shot group. These were the Hornady TAP ammo done superbly well. I have always been a Hornady fan but with the price I got on 250 SMK I kinda turned to them for a...

    Another Paint Job

    I used masking tape to make the digital effect and just randomly placed it in different patterns on the rifle. I'm actually thinking about stripping it off already. I saw a thread today using marine tex on th grip and really like the way it looked. I really like the rifles you have done. They...

    Quick and easy rear shooting bag

    I filled mine with "uncooked" rice. It seems to hold up pretty well. If I am shooting in the rain and it gets wet I always have a spare bottle of soy sauce handy. Seriously though the rice works pretty well and is light weight enough to put in my range bag and not overload it.

    Barrel Fluting

    I have been considering getting the barrel on my R700 308 fluted. For the sole purpose of looks. I know some may think its silly but I like it. I have read on other sites and maybe even here, not sure, but does fluting effect the accuracy of a rifle. Right now it's shooting 1/4'' 3 shot...

    New guy from SE Missouri

    Well as the title says, I'm from Missouri. I have been in LE for over five years now and I'm just getting into the long distance shooting. Several people and I try to get together once a week (weather permitting) and shoot 500+ yards. I shoot a R700 SPS Varmint in 22-250. If there are any...

    New Guy from SE Missouri (pic heavy)

    Well as the title says, I'm from Missouri. I have been browsing this site for quite some time getting information on my R700 SPS Varmint build. It started life as a factory R700 SPS Varmint 22-250. It has Burris E1 Fullfield 4.5x14x42mm optics and a 13''-29'' Harris bi-pod. I soon purchase...
