    Movie Theater Amerika Series on FX

    If it is a prop rifle, then it probably is a one piece action/barrel as many prop guns are cast in hard rubber or resin.

    Put together my first precision rifle: Remington 700 5R

    Thanks everyone for the compliments. I am very happy with this rifle. I had a very productive day at the range yesterday. I managed to get some FGMM 175gr., so I went out to get the scope adjusted for this ammo at the 100 yard range. Here's a couple results: First 3 shots after a cold...

    Put together my first precision rifle: Remington 700 5R

    It's not really the money that has kept me from starting to reload. It's just not something that I feel I am ready to jump into at this time. One of the main reasons I chose .308 is because there are good factory loads available for it. I'm sure as I progess I will indeed begin reloading, though.

    Thanks. I put a lot of thought into it. I picked up the rifle at a local shop, Sacramento Black Rifle. Got lucky that they had one when I was looking.

    I thought it would be similar as well. 20" barrel. There's info about my rifle and a couple pics of groups here: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-bolt-action-rifles/243665-put-together-my-first-precision-rifle-remington-700-5r.html

    Yes, slightly. It came out to about $1.30/round vs. $1.50/round for the FGMM. It doesn't group as well as the Federal, though. It is Lake City, but was bulk ammo, so I'm thinking it was probably factory seconds and not true M118LR.

    Yeah. The only reason I got the 168 is because it was all I could find at the time. I have since picked up a couple hundred rounds of 175 and I also have 500 rounds of M118LR, but my rifle doesn't seem to like that stuff. Haven't shot the FGMM 175 yet, but I'm expecting they will perform as well...

    That is with 168. I finally managed to find some 175 to try out. Gonna try to get to the range this week.

    I'm sure I will eventually give in and start reloading, but right now, I'm shooting near .5 MOA with FGMM, so I'm happy for the time being.

    Bay Area California shooters I'm in Rancho Cordova and shoot at Sac Valley. It's a great range. I'd love to start attending the NCPPRC practices, but I work weekends, so it's tough. I am taking the Long Range Clinic they are putting on in a couple weeks, though. Oh, and I'm also not a...

    Barrel twist is 1 in 11.25. I will definitely be posting results of the other ammo when I can get to the range.

    Put together my first precision rifle: Remington 700 5R

    From the time that I first saw one, I've wanted a GAP Crusader, but I've never been able to justify the cost over how much I would shoot it, being as though I've never really done much long range shooting and my access to long ranges was limited. Well, now I live close to a range that has a...

    Checking in for Kalifornia

    Well, I'm not exactly new to the Hide. I've been lurking for several years, but I've just recently begun getting serious about long range shooting and figured I should probably drop an introduction before going much further. I've been shooting casually all my life. Did some rimfire postal...

    Pot calling Kettle black, People in glass houses.....

    My response when I read this news... Best. Day. EVER! Also, this is not the first time that Yee has been accused of corruption. He has a history of such. Hopefully he won't weasel out of it this time. I'd love to see him do time, but at the very least, it looks like his political career is...

    5r barrel questions.

    I should preface by saying that I haven't put a lot of rounds down range with my 700 5R yet. I should also probably say that I haven't shot past 200 yards with it yet either, so take this for what it's worth. So far I haven't been able to get the M118LR that I have to group well at all at 100...

    Pod Loc availability

    Pod Loc availability I tried posting this last night, but for some reason it never showed up. After searching all over, I found them in stock at www.ustacticalsupply.com. I emailed to make sure they were in stock before ordering. They responded promptly and in less than a week I had the...

    Pod Loc availability

    I just went through this same thing. Searched everywhere for an actual Pod Loc. Finally found one at US Tactical Supply (http://ustacticalsupply.com/podlockforharrissseriesbipods.aspx). I emailed first to make sure they were indeed in stock.

    Bushmaster problems

    The looser groups could be due to removing the free float hand guard. Anything touching the barrel, such as the factory hand guards, can affect your grouping. I would put the free float guard back on (if possible ) and see if you get tighter groups with the new rings.
