Salutations,

Just joined, been lurking for awhile. I just got my 700 back from George, beautiful work. Its a started life as a Remington 700 SS 5R. So now I am waiting on the Form 4 to be approved, went pending July 6th, so hopefully soon.

Nice rifle. What scope is that? Are you going to reload? Don't forget range report.

Re: Hello from a new guy

I just picked up a new die, so I am hoping to get out to the range this weekend and start playing with some hand loads. This is my first foray into the world of precision rifles, I have been mostly a practical and 3 gun guy. I have only put 40 rounds of Federal Premium 168 through it to break it in before I sent it to George. With the Federal it was shooting nickel-size groups (No micrometer) at 100 yards and 200 yards, and started to opened up at 300 yards. It is a pleaseure to shoot, so I am definitely exited to start exploring loads for it. I have a good friend who has offerred to help me in my new endeavor of rifle reloads.

The scope is a Nikon Monarch X 4-16X50, it is very clear and crisp. Its is sitting on Leuopold MK IV rail and rings. I had George Cerakote it black, put an oversized bolt knob on, cut the barrel to 22", and thread the barrel. I have a Cyclone K waiting at my local shop on the form 4, so that should throw a whole new world of reloads at me too. Again, I can not say enough about George's work.

Where are you shooting?

Re: Hello from a new guy

When I am in the City I usually go out to Nicks for pistol and carbine or over to Pascagula for rifles. The last few months I have been in Florida, so I have been shooting at my fathers club in Tallahassee or the FOP range in St. Augustine.

Nice rifle Doc,
Piece of advice here. Use the search function prior to asking questions. Most helpful in the long run. You'll also find alot of helpful people here. Welcome.

I appreciate the welcoming, the old search function has been my friend for the past few weeks. There is a wealth of intel around here.

Hey KeyDiverFla ever dive with Horizon in Key Largo. I did my Deco, Adv Nitrox, and Gas Blending with them last year. Great group of guys.
