Just an update. took my rifle to a different shop. and my bolts were WAAAY tight. had them loosened to 48"pounds. thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll have everything checked out.

Gotcha. My USMC sniper buddy told me the same thing. he also wants to do the dummy round drill with me aswell. Thanks for the input Doc.

OK a couple months ago I was shooting 3/4 MOA at 100m. Put a new trigger on the rifle, and now it seems I can only get fist size groups. Is it this nut behind the gun? I shoot a Rem 700 .308 with a B&C stock. and 24" barrel. Conditions....It was windy about 15-20 mph winds at about 1/8 to 1/2...

does anyone know of a good gun smith for truing and blueprinting my R700 in the Reno, NV area?

Does anyone have any experience with Ops Inc. Suppressors? durability, reliability, sound suppression etc?

Good meeting you at the shoot eric and using your gear. Lots of fun and a great experience, I'll be saving up for some Sentinels soon.

Sounds great. Thanks, do you suggest I use the "wipe out" between testing different grain weights?

I'm trying to figure out the same thing with my rifle. Ofcourse I'm a FNG at this.

Round count on the barrel is about 200-250. The rifle was cleaned with standard CLP and brass bore brush a few days earlier. I have not spend an incredible time behind the gun, I'm just starting to get into precision shooting (more of a carbine/medic operator). I'm usually at the range for a...

I have a R700 .308 varmint 24" (pretty sure 1:12 twist factory barrel). Leupold Mk4 glass, stock pro-x trigger lightened to 4lbs, and a B&C Mk2 stock. the other day i shot: SWA 155 OTM, HSM Hornady 168 Amax, and SWA 175 SMK in the beginning the 175 SMK was making same hole shots at 100yds...

I adjusted my ProX trigger to the lightest setting, except its still about a 6-7# pull....f**king unacceptable. Anyways a buddy of mine from work who is huge into long range shooting and is a member of the forum (dont remember his screen name) told me to get a Jewell trigger. Only problem is...

I have a R700 in 308, it says the twist rate is 1:12 but i've read that some people have bought them with with a 1:10 even though it says 1:12 on the package. How do I tell what my twist rate is?

Far east Texas here homie, welcome dude.

I have the same problem with my Pro-X trigger. I could only get it down to 4#. Any suggestions on a good durable trigger? I was looking at a Jewell but heard that if they get any dust on it, it turns into a drama queen and won't please you.
