    .308 Rem. 700 SPS-V Range Report

    My first trip to the range with this brand new rifle wasn't all that impressive. It was box-stock factory all the way with Weaver bases and a Sightmark 8.5~25x50 scope. Cartridges were loaded with 150 grain Winchester PSP bulk bullets and several powders. My best 3-shot groups for the day at 104...

    Rifle Scopes Budget For $300.--$400. Rifle Scope

    Re: Budget For $300.--$400. Rifle Scope If the OP is shooting targets - especially paper - at known distances, then IMO the mil-dot reticle isn't necessary. The identical Vortex Viper 6.5~20x50 scope with a fine CH & target dot reticle is now being sold for $280 as opposed to $400 for the...

    My "Budget" .223 build finally done

    Re: My "Budget" .223 build finally done It's obvious that a lot of thought and love went into building that rifle and I think it looks GREAT! A range report, please, when you have a chance to shoot it.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex, Millett, or Nikon

    Re: Vortex, Millett, or Nikon Today I shot test groups with my .308 Remington 700 SPS-V rifle. Stocked in a B&C Medalist Tactical/Varmint stock, I put a 20 MOA base on it and a new Vortex Viper 6.5~20x50 scope on it with fine crosshairs and target dot. Sticking strictly with the scope, it is...

    Ever have one of those weeks you can't win?

    Re: Ever have one of those weeks you can't win? ANY mechanical device can fail. ANY manufacturer of firearms can turn out a turkey... and they all do! The OP was unfortunate enough to get one with a faulty handle/bolt body join. Smacking the bolt handle with the palm of your hand, even by a...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver 5-20x50 Tactical Scope

    Re: Weaver 5-20x50 Tactical Scope Weaver offers nothing about the elevation range of the 4~20x50 Tactical scopes. That's an important fact when buying a tactical scope, especially one costing as much as this one. If it were me, I'd email Weaver and ask.

    Recommendations on quality .223 bolt gun

    Re: Recommendations on quality .223 bolt gun I can't complain about my box-stock 700 SPS-V that I put into a B&C Medalist stock. It went from an overall average at 104 yards (37 3-shot groups) of .662" in the factory stock to an average of .325" with my best hand load.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Decision

    Re: Scope Decision Thanks to each of you who took the time to reply. I've decided to go with the Viper 6.5~20x50PA with target dot reticle on sale for $279.99 from Camera Land. I've just placed my order and hope to have the scope by Friday or Monday. Thanks again.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Decision

    I have a 700 SPS-V in .308 that I've put in a B&C Medalist stock. I have an EGW 20 MOA Picatinny rail installed and now I need to make a final decision on a scope to be used for both long range and informal bench rest match shooting out to 200 yards. I'd like to keep cost at or below $400. I've...

    My SPS Tactical AAC-SD

    Re: My SPS Tactical AAC-SD I can only speak of my experience with a B&C Medalist Tactical/Varmint stock that I recently bought for my .223 Remington 700 SPS-V rifle. Calculating all 37 groups that I'd shot at 104 yards while load developing, the average for 3 shots was .662". I settled on...

    Rifle Scopes Binocular power?

    Re: Binocular power? I keep a pair of 10x50 binoculars in the car "just in case". Like shooting a rifle, bracing yourself as already explained by lonewolf is necessary. With practice, you'll become more steady. One tip: buy as good as you can afford. The better corrected the glass, the less...

    Decide: 50 Yard Match Target

    Re: Decide: 50 Yard Match Target Perhaps I'm just dense but in stage 2, how many shots - I'm guessing 10 - and what is a "correct number"? IOW, which numbers are to be shot?

    What can be expected from this barrel?

    Re: What can be expected from this barrel? J-B Bore Brite used according to instructions will very lightly polish the bore and smooth it a little. I've personally used it on numerous bores and it's never harmed a single one. For normal cleaning, J-B Bore Cleaning Compound will remove all...

    Rifle Scopes Can you range these "targets"?

    Re: Can you range these "targets"? I came up with 471 yards to the guy in the bathing suit. I estimated 4.25 mils and him to be 6 feet tall or 2 yards. 2 x 1,000 = 2,000 divided by 4.25 = 470.59 or very close to 471 yards. I was lucky to get that close as I'm not comfortable with the mil...
