.308 at 300 yards

[SmallBoreSnipers]

Hi. I'm considering changing my screen name haha. Anyways, I'm looking at a Remington 700 SPS .308. I had a .308 before, but I never took it to a range or shot it for accuracy. Just kinda messed around and had some fun. Currently with my .17 hmr I am shooting 1" 10 round groups. So I'm not exactly the best shot in the world, but I'm a good one, and have fired a .308 before.

With this in mind, what kind of 10 round groups can I expect at 300 yards with the .308? I have fired my .17 hmr at 300 yards, but even on a good day it's not really worth it unless I just want to shoot to hit the gong, and I'd rather shoot for precision. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good stick, good ammo you can hit sub MOA at 300 yards. The key is to pick the right stick and the right bullet.

You can expect 3" or less at 300 yards from that rifle. It will shrink considerably with a better stock.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the Remington (Isn't that what they use for sniper school now?), but they do also have a Savage 10FP.

The Marine M40s, and Army M24s are based off of the Remington 700 action if that is what you are asking.

i bought my savage 10 with the HS stock and i have yet to shoot it. i just havent gotten to the range or worked on loads yet. but its a nice rifle. i got it for the same thing you want it for. it was priced right
