Thanks for the answer. I thought so, but was not sure.

I have a question or so. In the article they discuss that Mawhinney had helped Remington built sniper rifles to the M40 that he carried in Viet Nam. This was in 2006 and that they built 103. Were these the Scout Sniper Association M40's?

What is the rate of twist of the Remington SSA M40?

What is the rate of twist of the Remington SSA M40?

I have a Commemorative M40. Would it be beneficial to change out the stock for one of these or a MacMillian? Right now the rifle is shooting about a 1 inch group at 200 yards.

This morning I took the rifle back to the range. Resighted at 100 yards (new trigger pull and rifle had been out of the stock), Cold barrel shot at the 12 O'clock on the 10 ring. The next three shots in the X-ring. Moved to 200 yards, readjusted the scope to shoot center mass. Then two rounds...

May not be the correct reticle, but it looks good and works fine.

Well, I took the rifle to the range this morning. Fired 20 rounds of Spanish surplus ammo through it to break in the barrel. Fired one round then bore brushed, then a swab with Hoppe's, then a clean patch....then another round for ten rounds. Once that was done switched to two rounds fired...

The Redfield got here today. Will get it mounted and will try it out Friday morning.

My scope will be here on Monday. Will get it mounted and to the range on Friday. To bad work gets in the way of the fun stuff.

Ordered one yesterday.

The mount and rings on my rifle look just like this: Badger Ordnance Replica M40 Redfield Style Base & Rings Except mine has a circled R on the forward right side of the base.....Remington? Why did the rifle stop shooting well......? Couldn't it be fixed?

Mine came with a mount and rings that look pretty much the same as yours. Didn't these come with mounts and rings? What load are you using for that 168SMK's?

I bought it this morning. The closer I look at it the more I believe it is unfired. Will pair it up with my USMC 40X.
