    Rifle Scopes Please ignore this thread..> I'm an idiot.

    Re: Could this be a problem? (or am I paranoid) I would expect that too. The thing that concerned me is that the bullet crossed the line of the scope from right to left. In other words, the bullet started out to the right of center at 25 yards, and at 100 yards it had crossed the target...

    Rifle Scopes Please ignore this thread..> I'm an idiot.

    Re: Could this be a problem? (or am I paranoid) Not likely since it was consistent between a few shots. It went from two shots through one hole at 25 yards a quarter inch right of center to two shots 3 inches left of center at 100 yards. There's probably no sense in me worrying about it...

    Rifle Scopes Please ignore this thread..> I'm an idiot.

    Re: Could this be a problem? (or am I paranoid) Thanks for the reply but the tracking in the scope wasn't what I was worried about. After my initial shots at 25 yards to see if it was in fact on paper I made a wrong adjustment on the scope that sent it so high at 100 yards that it was off the...

    Rifle Scopes Please ignore this thread..> I'm an idiot.

    Sighted in my .308 today. Shot 2 rounds at 25 yards to verify it was on paper after bore sighting and they impacted .25 low and .25 right. Moved out to 100 and it went from being .25 right to 3" left. I haven't sighted in a rifle in years but to me this seems funny. I expected the elevation to...

    Rem 700 Milspec 5r Owners are you happy?

    Re: Rem 700 Milspec 5r Owners are you happy? Made my first trip to the range with mine today. Time was limited so I ended up with only 25 rounds down range to zero and shoot a five shot group and two rows of the SH dot drill target. I'm very, very happy with mine and the other guys I was...

    First attempt at precision rifle. Remington 5r

    Re: First attempt at precision rifle. Remington 5r Installed my Timney and adjusted it to about 2.25 lbs. SOOOO much better than the factory trigger. Heading out to the range for some shooting with friends today. Should have some pictures to post this evening.

    It has arrived!!!

    Re: It has arrived!!! Looks like we've chose essentially the same gear. I got a Triad pack today for my 5r. When I installed my Timney trigger I removed the second sling stud on the front of my stock so I could fit my Harris swivel bipod on the forward stud. Cut out my pelican case for the...

    Big + to Steve at Triad!

    Re: Big + to Steve at Triad! I ordered a stock pack and rear bag from him this week based on all the positive feedback here at the hide. Should be here tomorrow. Seems like a good operation.

    First attempt at precision rifle. Remington 5r

    Re: First attempt at precision rifle. I will be up that way by mid August. My sister and BIL are going to be stationed up there for a while so I should be able to get up that way and bring the rifle for some fun. I'm in the Charlotte/Concord NC area and I'm not aware of many ranges around...

    When to get a weather station?

    Re: When to get a weather station? I plan on getting a data book and a LRF soon and I'm going to take a trip back home and try my hand at shooting some steel out to about 525 yards. I'll also have a chance to spend some time at a 1000 yard range at varying distances with some BR shooters. I'm...

    When to get a weather station?

    Re: When to get a weather station? The closest range to me is 300 yards, probably not enough to worry about I'm guessing but I'll have periodic access to a place to shoot out to 500 and a 1000 yard range for benchrest.

    When to get a weather station?

    I'm just getting started in long range shooting with a rem 5r .308. My question is: At what point in my progression should I consider getting a kestrel for wind and air density tracking? Should I get one up front and start logging the data and learn to use it with my ballistic calculator as I...

    Re: First attempt at precision rifle. Nice! I wish there was a range around here like that. Right now I've got at least a couple hour drive to go shooting.

    First attempt at precision rifle. Remington 5r

    Re: First attempt at precision rifle. Tonight I installed a timney 510 in my 5r which I consider a nice upgrade from the stock X-mark pro. So far I've only been able to practice with dry firing before my first trip to the range this coming weekend. The stock trigger was a bit heavier and had...

    It has arrived!!!

    Re: It has arrived!!! Every 700 5r .308 SS I've seen has the 1:11.25in twist 5r barrel on them. To the best of my knowledge that's the only way they come. Are there different twist rates as options that you're aware of?

    It has arrived!!!

    Re: It has arrived!!! Nice! These rifles are getting very popular. I kind of wish I had gotten the 20 inch version now. Guess I'll have it cut down eventually. I'm dying to get mine to the range and shoot it.

    First attempt at precision rifle. Remington 5r

    Re: First attempt at precision rifle. I'm planning on documenting the weekend since it will all be new to me. I have mostly stocked up on FGMM 168 and 175 gr. Can anyone tell me, would it be worth it to buy a few other brands such as Southwest, Prvi match, and Black Hills to do some...

    First attempt at precision rifle. Remington 5r

    Re: First attempt at precision rifle. I ordered a timney 510 that will be here Monday. Been dry firing it and don't care much for the x-mark trigger that came stock. Other than that I would like to cerakote it black and install a badger knob and maybe a DBM and cheek riser or stock pack.
