    Remington 700 Long Range

    I have the new edition with H&S stock in 30-06. 06 because I’m already invested in 30-06 for my Garand. Just started a break in procedure. A low powered hand load using 43gn 4895 and a 155hpbt did produce a 1 1/4” group at 200yds. The gun does show promise .

    Aguila SSS 60 grain rounds

    I tried this ammo in a RRA 24” 1/8” twist Varmint AR with a military conversion. Don’t remember details but at 25yds accuracy was too poor for meaningful practice and at a indoor range the acid smoke coming out of the chamber was burning my eyes. I’ll assume the smoke was because of the short...

    F T/R Competition 308 Barrel length question for 600yds

    Thank you for opinions. The reason I'm asking these questions is I'd like to stick to 24" barrels because that makes the traveling a bit easier than the 26-28". Yardage is 600 as stated. Most rifles I'm looking at are 1/12". 1/10" are harder to find in my price range. I have experience...

    F T/R Competition 308 Barrel length question for 600yds

    I would be shooting F/TR class. Beside the 24” VS 28” thing I was interested in if the 155s were competitive against the 185s at 600yds. One of the purpose built rifles I’m looking at buying has a 1/13 twist barrel. That might do best with 155s.

    F T/R Competition 308 Barrel length question for 600yds

    At the max 600yd range I can shoot at. In 308 is a 24” barrel a deficit over a 26-27” barrel? If I have the proper twist barrel are 155gn bullets competitive against 175-185 gun bullets? I

    M1a socom or converted .308 garand

    308 Garand. I used CMP version to take a 160lb hog this year. For the one youre "test driving" I'd add a light synthetic stock and youre even lighter. Accurate, 100% reliable, powerful. You stated the advantages, I agree. I dont think the SOCOM will handle any hotter loads than the Garand. I...

    AR 15 for long range precision

    Rock River Arms Varmint. My rifle easily beats its 3/4” guarantee. Very good 2 stage trigger. I’d start with that. Modify/adjust as necessary.

    F T/R Competition Opinions on F-T/R low budget stock

    Thanks for responces. The equipment mentioned is already owned. I sold the Macmillan position kevlar stock to help finance the build and bought anoher gun with the money. OOPs. With that stock off the bench the rifle shot groups at 200 yds that impressed me with Federal Gold 175 gn ammo. I will...

    1997 Remington 700 BDL Varmint Special .243

    About your fliers. I'm not sure what you mean about "timing the trigger" but allow me to make 2 points. I had a similar 700 that had fliers like yours. A good bedding job brought the groups well bellow MOA. Yes the old style triggers can me made great.

    Rifle Scopes What about those Unertle type (Lyman, Redfield) external adjustment scopes?

    I see some on the range and a few on auction sites for premium money. Is there still a advantage to these scopes today? I shoot from .22lr at 25yd to 30-06@300. I've been happy with the Leupolds I have but just thinking about them.
