    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    Thanks sulcop96 The extra weight doesn't bother me . I figured i'd end up rocking the viper skins eventually , but who knows maybe i'll like the original more. glad to hear it gets the job done Rem 7 i don't know that chassis , i'll have to go check it out. Thanks for the heads up

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    how do the ergos of the thumb holes on the manners and the ai compare? i've not had a change to really get to know the manners stock. ps. how jealous am I at the collection of rifles you have. surgeon , gap......At some point i'll snag a gap , i'm intrigued by the gap-10

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    Thanks Teerex, I checked out the Mcree , i'm not super into its styling . If i was going to go with something of that kind i'd probably go Whiskey 3. I think though after handling the aics i'm pretty set on it. Especially for the ability to go from a thumbhole to a pistol grip if i want for...

    Leprechaun I dig their stocks but not for this build. If i were going to go the fiberglass / nylon filled type stock i'd go manners with the thumbhole.

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    Awesome points everyone . What's nice about stocks is , you can quite easily change. I'm not going to be humping this rifle around anywhere , at the most running between fairly close shooting points . Jaxadation, what are some alternatives that you like? Also, where do you like to shoot ...

    Talk me out of buying an AICS 2.0 for my Rem 700

    Hi Guys, For months i've been going back and forth between manners t5A , whiskey 3 , and an AICS classic 2.0 . They're all great but for the price the AI seems to be the best bang . Plus the ability to change it to a pistol grip with viperskins makes it even better. I've handled the AI...

    Re: Best Factory Ammo For .308 out to 1k yards Hi verdugo What are you shooting your 168 load out of? What's your recipe? I haven't been able to chrono mine unfortunately . As ballistic calcs go i'm using Ballistic AE

    F T/R Competition Best Factory Ammo For .308 out to 1k yards

    Re: Best Factory Ammo For .308 out to 1k yards I love the way my berger loads shoot , but i'm unsure if it will stay stable out to 1k . For all i know it might but i haven't had to opportunity to test it out that far. I can shoot those loads down to .5 moa all day long , and i know i can...

    F T/R Competition Best Factory Ammo For .308 out to 1k yards

    Re: Best Factory Ammo For .308 out to 1k yards Cool thanks guys . The applied ballistics rounds look great but they're just way too pricey. I prefer handloading but i don't have the time before the 1k yard class i'm taking . I need about 200 rounds so anything that's between 20-25 dollars...

    F T/R Competition Best Factory Ammo For .308 out to 1k yards

    Re: Best Factory Ammo For .308 out to 1k yards That's exactly what i was thinking as well. The black hills shoots well in my gun, but it's a bit pricier then the FGMM and also they have crimped primers. Since i'll be reloading the brass it'd be a pain to have to swage them all. The trick is...

    Hi Guys, I have a shoot coming up that is going to be out to 1k yards. unfortunately i don't have the time to work up a load and my current 168 gr berger vld load just won't cut it . I'm trying to decide between all the major manufacturers 175gr offerings for match ammo. Of course i'm...

    I'm taking my rem700 to 1k yards help with load

    Re: I'm taking my rem700 to 1k yards help with load So i jumped on my ballistic calc..... it seems that if i can get the 175 berger VLD up to 2700 fps at the muzzle i should be about 100 fps higher then the sound barrier at 1k yards . Is breaking the subsonic barrier usually what causes...

    Re: I'm taking my rem700 to 1k yards help with load Thanks AIMsmall55. As adjustable dope i think i'm ok. I have a 20 moa base with a vortex viper pst 2-24x 50mm . I can reliably hit steel out to 600 yards , i just haven't had to deal with anything farther then that , and i'm worried...
