Re: remington 700 factory accuracy I have a Remington 700 Varmit with a 26" barrel, factory stock, Jewell trigger, and Nightforce glass. The gun consistently shoots 0.75"-1" 5-shot groups with Black Hills factory ammo (at 100 and 200 yards). When the groups grow beyond 1" it's usually me...

Re: Bubble Level? Another US Optics rail mounted level user here. They are not cheap but they work. Holland and Vortex are cheaper and work well too.

Re: Found this local in Spokane Washington for sale I hate to say it but when I go to the range and listen to some of the shooters it seems like several think they're snipers because they know which end of the rifle goes bang, they have perfected their technique using video games, and can a...

Re: Sensibly priced Picatinny rail solution for TRG? Jim: I have a rig similar to the one you mention. It's a TRG-22 with a picatinny rail, Nightforce Benchrest scope (8-32x56), and a LaRue QD unimount. I found that the rail mounted scope using the LaRue was too high for my comfortable...

Re: Gunsmoke=Bull$*!t 'Reality TV" is an oxymoron.

Re: .223 or .308 bolt action If you are going to shoot at 100 yards there are a lot of reasons to go with .223. Ammo is cheap and plentiful, there are excellent rifle choices that can be upgraded if you're inclined, and very little recoil let's you concentrate on your shooting fundamentals...

Re: NightForce direct mount for Rem 700: bedding? I mounted mine without lapping or bedding. The fit was very good and the scope has been rock solid for over a year and more than 1000 rounds.

Re: Height of Nightforce Base? I have a Nightforce Remington 700 short action unimount and it was available in two heights 1" and 1.125". I don't know the height of their separate rail. I use a Nightforce Benchrest scope 8-32x56 on my TRG-22 and the objective bell is about 68mm, the TRG...

I posted this question in the Bolt Action Rifle forum but it is probably more appropriate here. I will be buying new rings to lower my scope on a SAKO TRG-22 and want to ensure I get the right height. The calculation of ring height for my rig is as follows: Nightforce benchrest scope with 56mm...

I will be buying new rings to lower my scope on a SAKO TRG-22 and want to ensure I get the right height. The calculation of height for my rig is as follows: Nightforce benchrest scope with 56mm objective has a bell diameter of 68mm. My picatinny rail top is 7mm above the barrel. So...

Re: TRG Scope Mounts Thanks guys. I will keep the picatinny rail and look into Near and Warne rings. They both offer products that will lower my scope to a better position. The Sphur mount does look interesting (and solid).

I have a TRG-22 with a picatinny rail and was given a Nightforce Benchrest scope (8-32x56) with a Larue unimount. The Larue unimount is very sturdy and convenient but my scope sits high (the objective lens is ~5/8" above the barrel). I'd like to lower the scope so the rifle/scope fits me more...

Re: Stocking up .308, you opinions? Ammo choice can be a religous issue. I have used Prvi Partizan Match (HPBT 168gr) with good results out to your ranges. You can spend more for tighter groups but if you just need some economical factory ammo that shoots well for some fun at the range Prvi...

Re: Modifications to a factory 700 I have a Remington 700 VLSS (thumbhole stock) in .223 and it consistently shoots sub-MOA. I shoot off a front rest and rear bag, use a Nightforce scope, and use Black Hills 52g Match HPBT shells. The only modification to the factory configuration was the...

Re: Remington X-whatever trigger? I adjusted my x-mark trigger a couple times but I was never really happy with the break. So I put a Jewell trigger in which breaks clean and allows me to get more consistent tight groups.
