    Rifle Scopes Rem 700P Base and Vortex Rings

    Thanks all for the suggestions. Fortunate to have Brownells down the road I had them get me set up with the EGW 20moa base and some TSR med rings. I ordered the Vortex optic from Optics Planet a week ago (it was in stock) and it still hasn't shipped. To say I'm anxious to get this setup to...

    Rifle Scopes Rem 700P Base and Vortex Rings

    Thanks for the feedback. My local options are Sportsmans Warehouse, Bass Pro, Scheels and Brownells is just 40 miles east. Sportsmans has been less than knowledgable and BPS has no selection in the store. Trying Scheels tomorrow and then Brownells is always a failsafe. I'm just most...

    Here's what I have: Remington 700p 308 and a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP. Setup will be used for target shooting (out to 500 yds to start). The guys at my LGS were useless as far as recommending an appropriate base and rings thus this post. What would you recommend? My local options...

    New to LR shooting - 700P Opportunity

    The deal is done. Now I just need glass and rings. Cannot wait. The dealer is Rhine Group Firearms: 762SASS.com :: www.762sass.com 515-963-3484 While they don't have a huge selection in their shop, they will order for you and do quite a bit for the Des Moines PD and other area departments.

    New to LR shooting - 700P Opportunity

    If I can get started w/o having to change the stock, it'd be all the better. At the end of the day, looking for great out of the box value that's going to last me and perform when I need it to.

    New to LR shooting - 700P Opportunity

    Just getting into LR shooting and my LGS is offering me a NIB 700P .308 for $825. Is this a fair deal? After doing some research, I'm also aware that many have gone with an SPS Varmint or Tactical and replaced the stock. Is the HS stock on the 700P worth the extra $225 or so I'd be...

    Which do you prefer... .300wsm or .308win?

    Re: Which do you prefer... .300wsm or .308win? DFOOSKING - Your mention of reloading is exactly what I was thinking...but didn't know if there were any other "major" reasons for one v. the other. And at this point, more paper/steel than anything else.

I currently have a Rem 700 .300 wsm and have recently had the thought to make...

    Suppressors HK USP 9 vs. ???

    Re: HK USP 9 vs. ??? ORD - Thanks for the info, much appreciated. What you say is certainly true on the "newer" pistols. With so much out there, I'm quite honestly just looking for a place to start. Thanks again.
