    My 5r customized by S.A.C.

    I just received my 5r from Mark at S.A.C. today and thought I'd post a few pictures to show it off. This is my first time sending off a gun to a smith to have it customized and I am very happy with the results at least cosmetically as I haven't got to shoot it yet. I've had this 5r for about a...

    Rifle Scopes Level Scope to earth or level scope to gun then level as a set to earth?

    Interesting points have been made. I had always assumed you wanted everything level. The gun level, the scope leveled to the gun the vertical stadia bisecting the barrel. I've used the feeler gauge method since reading about it on here and it works great for me. I'm still amazed sometimes that...

    Rifle Scopes H58 vs. H59

    Thanks that's all good info. It's a lot to think about. I'd like to get involved in competitive shooting at some point but still learning to shoot the gun and use the gear for now.

    Rifle Scopes H58 vs. H59

    I guess the dot almost seems inconsequential unless you are shooting at a very small target or very long range and dialing instead of holding. The extra hashes for windage look more useful for making the wind corrections if you have to deal with wind plus I guess for making second shot...

    Rifle Scopes H58 vs. H59

    I've been considering climbing the scope ladder a little bit as I work into some more training classes this year. I'm still a novice at the long range game starting about this time last year and have been using the Mil-quad reticle in the SS 5-20. So I've been considering getting a new Leupold...

    Can't locate a 700-5R 308, other 700 options?

    Call Eagle Guns in Concord NC. I was there last week and they had one on the shelf. They almost always have at least one on the shelf and I got a good deal on mine so it's worth a try. (704) 788-9013 I love mine. A couple friends have SPS tactical's, and one has a 700P. Everything about the 5r...

    First Build (Rem 700 308 5R, Manners, NF) critique and advice

    I bought the trigger since I could install it and adjust it myself. I think it is a great trigger and I hated the factory trigger shoe and the adjustment screw sticking out of it when I tried backing it down. I bought the seekins rail and when I installed it it felt like it pulled down unevenly...

    First Build (Rem 700 308 5R, Manners, NF) critique and advice

    It's gonna be a good piece. I bought the 24" 5r SS last year in .308 and put seekins 20MOA rail and Seekins low rings on it with a SS 5-20x50 scope. The low rings won't allow the use of a front cap so I am switching to mediums. I dumped the factory trigger immediately for a Timney 510 and set it...

    SPS Long Range

    Got a 2013 remington price list at work today and it's listed on there. There are several rifles listed on the price list that aren't on the site. I think remington is possibly dragging ass with their website. There are several new versions of the AAC rifle that aren't on the website either.

    SAC TRG-22 260 Rem

    Great looking rig. I can't wait to get my 5R back from Mark. It'll be the first custom work I've had done on a rifle. I've heard and seen great things about his work.

    Re: Rem 700 5R build Nice work man! I have a 5r that I love shooting and I've been debating on customizing it. After seeing yours I may have to just go ahead with it.

    lwrc worth the money ?

    Re: lwrc worth the money ? I have the 14.7 inch apr and I love that gun. It is way nicer than the M&P 15T I sold to fund the purchase. It's the nicest AR I've had my hands on so far. It shoots great and I love the piston system. I only wish it had an adjustable gas block on it and that's...

    700 police 300 win mag 26in HB

    Re: 700 police 300 win mag 26in HB A friend of mine bought one of those from Buds. Paid about that much for it but it looked like shit when he got it out of the box. Had scrapes and nicks up and down the barrel. Looked like it had been on display and handled quite a bit by tire kickers...

    Has the price gouging begun?

    Re: Has the price gouging begun? People are completely freaking out. Just saw 5 pmags bid up to 350 on gun broker. That was with an opening bid of .01 and no reserve. Crazy! I guess if you wanted to make some good money and were sitting on a pile of extra pmags you could just put them on...

    5r milspec

    Re: 5r milspec I did the timney trigger right up front as well. I feel it was the most worth while thing to do to the rifle. I may try bedding it but that is about it. To date my best group has been .310 at 100 yards with 175 grain GMM on a perfect morning. I think it is a great rifle but I...
