    rem 700 5r millspec or rem 700 XCR .308

    Re: rem 70 5r millspec or rem 700 XCR .308 5r for the twist rate and stainless. I personally like the HS Precision stock better too. Not the XCR for coating they have in it. Would rather have my own choice of duracote/cerakote finish. I believe its a 20" fluted barrel too and though I like...

    New rifle

    Re: New rifle Is it an LE/duty gun ? If so, contact remington LE sale division and see what kind of pricing they can offer. I have seen quite a difference in prices for duty weapons over the years depending on make, model, etc. Just an FYI. It may help. Good luck

    My First LR308 Build

    Re: My First LR308 Build Nice job on the build. +1 for larue. I put a Larue SPR (lt104) on my DPMSLR308 and it works perfect with my nighforce 3.5-15x50. I'm also a fan of the QD system. Make it easy of taking it on and off. Good Luck

    Got my rifle today

    Re: Got my rifle today Good looking rifle. Mine like Federal 168gr SMK better then 175gr. They both shoot well but the 168 consistently groups better. If you looking to flute the bolt you might want to consider the tac knob too ? Karl @ Kampfield Customs was great to deal with and does...

    Re: I have started my Remington 700 build Would be curious to know what kind of difference swapping the stocks actually made. When I switched mine from the hogue into a manners MCS-T3 it went from between .8"ish"to 1moa to .5 or better when I do my part. Would imaging similar results if not...
