    Looking to buy an inexpensive .223

    What distance do you plan on regularly shooting out to? I use a 1-9 with the 69 gr'ers out to 300 and they hammer. From what I've read they would do pretty well further then that if I had a chance. Point is if your never ganna be shooting at a distance where the 77gr bullets will really start to...

    Rifle Scopes daughters first 22lr

    My 22lr originally had a cheap Simmons 3-9 on it that my grandfather had in the safe. I wanted to upgrade to something with mil reticle to make holder overs easier. I decided on an athlon talos 4-14. I know athlons are a love or hate thing on this site but for the price I couldn't find anything...

    Rifle Scopes Advice on optic for AR-15

    I agree with just about everything you said here. I do not plan on this gun being for home defense for a few reasons. I have no experience with an AR for one and I don't know that I would stake my life on this cheap of a gun. That being said if after 1000 rounds and no issues maybe I'll trust...

    Having trouble deciding on a budget .223 target rifle build

    Welcome Tommy you have come to the right place, I am pretty new myself but I have just finished building my own 223 trainer on a very similar budget. I built it as my first precision gun because I like you am currently limited in range, although I have out to 300. Again this is just what I did...

    Rifle Scopes Advice on optic for AR-15

    Thanks for the input the more is better in magnification was my attitude when buying my bolt gun optics. I figured I would rarely ever be dialing down its mostly going to be at max I will take a look at some more scopes in the 1-6 range as well as the burris mentioned. What are your thoughts on...

    Rifle Scopes Advice on optic for AR-15

    Hopefully this thread belongs here and not in the semi-auto section. If it does I apologize. But on with the question. I unlike most of my generation was not consumed with the tacticool AR craze. I shot a friends and while it was fun it wasn't super accurate so I build a precision 223 bolt gun...

    Rifle Scopes 22LR Scope

    I have a Talos 4-14 btr on the way for my .22. The range I shoot at has "larger" steel targets out to 300. A little boring for the 223. In your case if you are staying inside 100 this might be more then you need, but for me I wanted the reticle for holds and the exposed turrets for dialing. No...

    Remington 700 Next Step in "Build"?

    Just thought I would update everyone on how this turned out. I was away on vacation for a week so after putting everything together I never got a chance to get to the range and shoot. The final build was as follows: -Remington 700 SPS Tac in 223 -Greyboe Renagade Stock inlet for M5 bottom metal...

    5.56 practice Ammo?

    I would echo the above post I used PMC Bronze in the 223 variety as a practice round for my bolt gun. Was consistent in the 1-1.5 MOA range. Not great but for the price I couldn't complain. A 10' plate at 300 was usually not an issue. I would assume the 5.56 to be similarly accurate. As a...

    Remington 700 Next Step in "Build"?

    I actually have some 55gr hornady bullets to try next. I started with the 69gr because they did the best from factory ammo. Being new to reloading the load workup process is fun so I'll likely try several. Hornadys factory 75gr showed positive results so I may have that a go as well incase I...

    Remington 700 Next Step in "Build"?

    Yes hogue stock, which is very flimsy. When using a bipod it makes contact with the barrel. Shooting of bags with the front bag just infront of trigger guard seems to help

    Remington 700 Next Step in "Build"?

    Working on the pictures resizing them to make the bigger seems to be having the opposite effect. As far as the led sled I think I actually liked the bags better so I probably wont use it much more.

    Remington 700 Next Step in "Build"?

    Range Day 2. All shots taken off led sled type rest with slight breeze The first picture is of the first 23.6 group I shot. It measured out to be .11MOA. The second group with 23.6gr was just like the group from the first day two in one hole and a flyer likely caused by me. Now I would like to...

    Remington 700 Next Step in "Build"?

    Hi everyone, I have been lurking around this forum for well over a year and finally felt like a had a question worth asking. First some back round on myself and the rifle, I'll try to keep it short. So about a year ago i decided I wanted to step up to a larger caliber (from 22lr) and try my...
