I used to shoot 308 a lot and was looking at getting into reloading but just never did; moved and stopped shooting as much. I now have an elk hunt booked in Wyoming for 2021 and need to buy a new rifle and practice. The local range here I can shoot 100-400 from bench, prone, and seated...

I've been thinking/researching for quiet some time on this and just cannot make up my mind. I am looking to put together an elk gun. I've always lived in the midwest; and now Tennessee so some of my analysis may be incorrect as I've never hunted elk before. I am under the assumption that most...

We recently relocated to the Nashville area and love it! Its a major change from living in Wisconsin. I have been looking for hunting land and found it would be in my best interest to purchase 40+ acres. Currently I'm really focusing on southern KY. I was reading that it can be rough...

I have a Rem 700 SPS varmint 308 1:12 twist. The barrel is the factory 26". Presently debating chopping it down to around 20" (+/-2") and having a muzzle break installed. In hindsight I wish I would have gotten the Tac rather than the varmint; I would loose too much selling and buying...

Due to work my wife and I are talking about moving to Nashville for a larger job market and to enjoy the culter, life style, and scenery. Everything about the area is appealing to us. I work in IT and all my research boasts that Nashville is experiencing huge growth in this industry. I am...

I'm looking to get a new scope for my 700 sps-v .308 The gun is mainly used for target. Maybe deer hunting but i have another rifle I can use with a 3-9 power scope. With the 20x magnification what is the closest distance the scope is "usable"? I'm also seeing on their website the MOA scope...

I'm going to be purchasing for the first time some reloading equipment. I will load .308 to start and probably 30-06, possibly 9mm in the future. I am looking between these two Lee kits: Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press Kit Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press...

Will this stock fit a 700 SPS Varmint (SA RH)? http://www.midwayusa.com/product/109373/...rop-in-finished

I don't want to turn this into a whole flame war of everyone should conceal carry to protect their family blah blah... I own several guns, some i could never part with because of how I use them or the mean a lot to me because my dad gave them to me. I'm starting to get more into long range...

I want to eventually begin reloading rounds for my 308. I don't shoot an extreme amount so speed really isn't a huge concern for me; I can easily reload what i would need for the weekend each week. Is a single stage press practical for this? Is it complicated to set up your die depths and...

What is the maximum effective range for a .308 for whitetail and coyote, say a 150 or 165gr bullet.

I bought a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 308 about 2-3 months ago. It came with a cheap Remington 4-12x scope, 75$ rebate and it was also on sale so I was happy with the price. I was hoping to shoot the rifle with the scope until I could afford a better one (I was thinking it could be a year or...

The scope that i'm looking at purchasing for my 700 has a 1 in. tube, I plan to get a pictiny rail and I'm looking at what options are out there for rings. Is it a bad idea to get 30mm rings with reducers to 1 in? Are there any good 1 in. ring options out there?

Do you use your precision rifle for hunting? or is it strictly for target/comp?

My wife and I are looking at buying our first home. Anyone have any advice to a first time home buyer? We are looking at a FHA loan due to the low percentage down.

I have a Remington 700 in 308 and I need to get a new scope for it. The gun will be used for target and hunting whitetail; shooting up to 300 yards. I've been looking at a vortex 6.5-20x for $400 and a Bushnell Banner 6-24x for $150. I would prefer to save the money at the moment and get the...

Went out today to sight in my new 700. It started shooting nice groups once I get it zeroed in but it started getting sloppy. I looked at the scope and it looks to me like it is moving in the rings. The scope was mounted when I bought the gun at Gander Mountain. The picture shows it looks...

Picked up a Remington 700 SPS Varmint chambered in 308. couldn't pass up the deal with the 75$ mail in rebate they are running until the end of May. It came with a 4-12x Remington scope, hardshell case and sling. I am assuming this scope isn't very good so I will use it in the mean time until...
