1: Is it common to need to make small zero adjustments when shooting your rifle in different environmental conditions? I have a 20" Rem 5r .308 and zeroed it with FGMM 175 back in June when I was visiting family in WV. conditions were mid 90's temp, 80%+ humidity and 1300 ft elevation. Zero at...

Picked up a razor HD 1-6 JM on here recently from another hide member. Threw it on the old LWRC and got a good 200 yard zero on it today and I'm pretty pleased with this rifle. Until I got this scope I had only kept a red dot on it and shot it in a training class, a match, and just fooling...

So I lurked for a while over there checking out the LaRue forum and watching the shipping update threads and such since I ordered a rifle. I never felt like there was anything to add before but I recently started to participate a little. That lasted about three weeks and I got myself banned. I...

So I'm wanting to get started on lining up a suppressor purchase and not sure where to start. I've been scanning this forum but I don't know where to start. Lots of references to form 1 and form 4, whatever those are. If you guys could make some suggestions about what I should research...

I'm considering building an AR for 3 gun type matches but seeing how often I buy and sell guns I started wondering how badly I could expect to take a bath on a home build if I decided to sell it. I hate to think that way but it's reality. I was pricing everything out and I could save maybe a...

Search bar isn't giving me quite what I'm looking for so I'll take any links or answers anyone cares to offer. Questions: What are the most common problems with running a factory 700 rifle in competitions? When do you think it is time to just build a custom rifle vs. having...

Not really a precision rifle but I thought I'd throw this up. Just got this thing after a 1.5 year wait. I'm not sure any gun is worth a 1.5 year wait but I was too curious to pass it up when I got the email that they were ready to build it. This is my first LaRue product and so far it seems...

Won this at a shooting competition a couple weeks ago. Seems like a pretty good gun so far. Shoots a bit high for my taste with the irons but put the RMR on it and sighted it for POA/POI at 25 yards. I wasn't sure what to think of the accuracy at first because I couldn't get it to group from a...

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...

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...

I've been doing some searching and reading on this topic and it's getting a little confusing. I'm new to this kind of equipment so can someone please tell me the basic setup for getting started with ballistic FTE on iPhone and what is the best way to input climate data from a kestrel 4500? I've...

Thought the other thread was getting too strung out and picture heavy. Took my new 5r .308 to a buddies house to get it sighted in and was pretty happy with the initial performance. First 5 shots after sighting. Shot one round of the Dot Drill for fun before time ran out.

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...

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...

Well I see a lot of other people post these so I will too. Nothing special, just a run of the mill .308 Remington 5r with Seekins 20 moa rail and low 30mm rings and a B&L 10x40 Tactical scope. Haven't had it to the range yet but should be heading up to the Yadkinville area next weekend for some...

Was talking with the owner of my local gun store today about optics and a scope for my newly purchased 700 5r and he mentioned having an old scope hanging around from one of his old rifles that he sold. The scope was a Bausch and Lomb model 62-1040 10x40 with mil dot reticle and large tactical...

Here are a couple pictures of the chamber of my new 700 5r. Doesn't look that great to me but what do I know? Anyone care to tell me if this is an acceptable finish for a factory gun or does this indicate poor chamber reaming and should I contact remington about it?

I'm interested in getting involved in long range shooting/tactical matches and I'm trying to put together a rifle package to get started. I've purchased a 700 5r SS with 24" barrel and am trying to make some decisions about the glass to put on it. Other than shooting hunting rifles a good bit...
