Next time I go out I will take pics and video with my camera. I dont have a desktop or a laptop just a kindle fire hd and I dont know how to do pics with it yet. I have been measuring from the absolute outside edge of the black marks and subtracting my diameter. I really didnt mean to step on...

I cant afford to go to matches and there is nothing that close to where I live. It took me two years to buy everything I am using on this gun. When I first started looking at setting up a target gun I looked at the very basic necessities that had a awesome or decent name behind them and saved up...

Since I posted this question I have come to realize how much s*** I've kicked up. I guess I thought at my shorter ranges those type of groups were normal with handloads. Im newer to the hide so I guess people have every right to question me. I shoot with a awesome group of guys here. Anywhere...

I will definitely try to get within 10 fps. Where I shoot the wind is usually at my 6 or at 12. Its on a powerline in between a valley of trees and I do have windage flags set every 200 yards apart in case of shift. Mirage wasnt bad since it was only 23 degrees out. But the problem could be it...

I have only sent approximately 900 rounds through this one so bore shouldnt be loose. Should I search for next node in .3 or .5 grain increments?

I do not simply throw out claims. If you dont want to take me seriously I could care less. I did not post this question to impress you or anyone else here. I posted because I have a legitimate question and I need help. I grew up with a rifle in hand and though I thoroughly understand that does...

Oh and muzzle velocity is 2512fps. THANKS!

So heres what I got. At 100 and 200 yards I'm shooting 1/8 MOA groups. At 300 I'm shooting I am shooting 1/4 to 1/3 MOA. At 500 yards I'm holding a 1/2 to 2/3 MOA groups. At 800 yards I open way up to 1 1/2 to 2 MOA sized groups. I know my twist ratio is not optimized for my bullet but they fly...

Thanks guys. I had been leaning toward the broughton 5c for a while (a friend has one). You guys helped me put the nail in the coffin though. I have a remmy donor I want to play with and another .308 on the rack wouldn't hurt right? :)

I've kinda narrowed it down to these three. Personal experience would help. Also anyone have any pricing on blueprinting, bedding and rebarreling? I have some quotes from a couple local smiths but id like to see what else is out there. Thanks!

Awesome rig! Congrats!

If you're switching stock and barrel right off the bat save yourself some hassle buy a rem 700 short action with a .223 bolt face (action only)have a smith blueprint it and have it bedded in the AI stock and of course choose your barrel. But if your just starting out don't get a new barrel...

There are some friends of mine that would like to check out cadillac. We have a spot up here we can reach 1200yds if you dont mind hauling your gear a little ways. If you ever make it up this way pm me. Ill definitely let you know when we head to cadillac though.

A friend of mine has a K31 and during one of our shoots I was on the target team and he was up to shoot. After 5 shots he radioed to check the target. Walked out there he had a 13" group. Doesnt sound so great but considering the target was at 600 yards and he was using the stock iron sights I...
