    First Long Range Rifle

    Hey thanks. Got an e-mail from Remington on Friday saying they had received my rifle, but also saw they have an estimated wait time of 12 months for "voluntary R700 recall". I doubt this is my case since I've never seen a bolt rusted out like that, but I hope it doesn't reflect general wait times.

    First Long Range Rifle

    I got word from Remington today that they are doing a warranty claim on my rifle, which will be sent in and hopefully they will at least replace the bolt if not the whole rifle itself. We'll see exactly what they do at a later date. In other news, I've got a Badger rail and rings on the way as...

    First Long Range Rifle

    Still dealing with Remington to see what they will do about this bolt that is rusted to hell, but, Manners stock is now on order as of 20170609. T4A: - Elite tactical - Gen 1 mini chassis - Factory Varmint/Sendero contour - Adjustable spacer system with Pachmayer decel pad - Atlas rail - Badger...

    First Long Range Rifle

    I'll be looking at precision rifle competitions if there are some in my area. The rifle came in but the face of the bolt is rested to hell. A fellow member here is guiding me into the direction of a PTG bolt and I will probably end up going that route, but I am in contact with Remington now to...

    First Long Range Rifle

    Howdy, I've got a PST Gen II 5-25x on the way, deciding on base and rings, most likely going with NF 20MOA but undecided on the height of the rings. As as for stock, I will most likely see how the rifle does as is and then explore options. Been looking at Manners T2-A, but also tossing around...

    First Long Range Rifle

    Thanks for the responses everyone, Right now I'm focusing on getting nice glass, rings, and scope base. I will bed the base and true the rings if needed. Right now I'm heavily leaning for the NF NXS 5.5-22, but not sure as to how much I will like SFP. A S&B would be great, but unless I can get...

    Howdy from SoCal

    New fella here. Starting on my first precision rifle. From TN, but spend most of my time in SoCal. I see there's a SoCal group here. Hope y'all can teach me a thing or two.

    First Long Range Rifle

    Howdy, Just recently I began withdrawing from the AR platform to getting the urge for a nice long range rifle. I've mainly been invested in the tactical/training side, with IR night shooting in the mix. Though it is very enjoyable, at my last class the instructor and I did some long range...
