HTG and Remmy

[nashlaw]

I bought this rifle several years ago- Remington varmint in the HS Precision stock. I then sent the whole works off to Jim Hillin and had him square the action, lap the lugs, recut the chamber and recrown. In the past few months, I bedded it in a HTG and I am pleased with the results. This rifle shoots everything pretty well. I have ran it with 155's and 190's with good results.

Slickrick and I went and shot a couple of days ago and the trip was worthwhile. I have not shot it at 200yds much, but it did well.

10 shot group at 200.

Good lookin rifle. That HTG with the old school woodland camo has always been my favorite.

That gun is a flat out shooter. It just gets it done!

Re: HTG and Remmy

I have the same setup but I went the desert cameo route but I have not fired it yet. I notice you were using 41.4 of 4064. Did you try less powder? I would like to have the same load for my M1A and my Remmy LTR. Jesse

You may find this amusing, but that load is not even what I shoot in that rifle on a regular basis. I had loaded that box of ammo back in the late 90's and thought I would give it a run in the Remington. Originally, I used it in a Winchester Varmint rifle I used for informal benchrest competition.

Regarding less powder, I think that is the Sierra accuracy load and it seems to work. I usually load RL 15.

That's a nice rig.

I like my M700 HTG 308 too.
