    Issues with -- New Remington 700 308 target tactical VTR 5R 26" VTR

    RyeDaddy, I built myself a bullit rye manhattan and admired at how the "NoobTards" we're so very quick to brag about their own gear or the price they paid or try to critique me on my purchase without a single piece of advice! I emailed Remington last night and first thing this morning (7:36am)...

    Issues with -- New Remington 700 308 target tactical VTR 5R 26" VTR

    The box of ammo that was thrown in with the rifle was was tagged as $70.00. The shop was very limited with Remington 308. They did have one savage. I have a sako 75 300wm and finding a mount for a 34mm scope was a major pain in the ass and took many many months. This is why I chose...

    JGorski - thank you for bragging about how much of a good deal you got and how great your rifle is. It has really helped me with my request for advice. I checked online and most of the 5R TT's were going for $1600.00 ish. I am waiting to hear back from Remington.

    I had a 1500.00 credit to use at the gun store (previously posted in general) and there weren't any 700AAC-SD or 700P anywhere to be had. I wanted a 308 and I didn't want to let the Credit sit to long. I figured that if I didnt like it I would just sell it!

    Remington 700 308 target tactical VTR 5R 26" VTR .... $1700.00 + a box of ammo. <-- I think I overpaid a bit. I bought it for bench / paper shooting. I just got it home and took it apart to clean it up and inspect everything. This is what I found. Should I throw a scope on it and get to...

    vortex bubble level

    Topgun050 - fwiw, My scope was installed dead-on nuts level but every now and then my reticle will appear turned a bit clockwise. I realized that it only happens if I am not looking dead straight through the scope and also only when I wear my glasses.

    Gunsmithing Input on what happened to this brass...

    If what you described is indeed what happened, wouldn't the shooter feel the hesitation of the bolt closing? The purpose of me asking this isn't to point fingers but to help prevent this from ever happening to myself. I have used reloads from others and had no idea that this could happen...

    WJM308 - are you looking for a set of rings or a 1 piece mount? I think that I have a set of Spuhr 34mm rings 1" tall (sr-4000) laying around the bench somewhere.

    1500.00 ish credit at gun store --- what to buy?

    I jumped the gun on a lever action purchase. The owner told me that if I change my mind during the 10 day waiting period I could use the funds as store credit. I am not interested in keeping the lever action.
