Excited to get it out to the range next week and see what it's got.



Remington SPS 20" .308 (1/12 twist)
McMillan A5 in GAP Camo
Leupold MK6
EGW base
Badger EFR
Karsten cheek rest
bolt fluted by Kampfeld
Harris bi-pod and podloc

previously I was all pistols and some AR, so I am looking fwd to stretching out with this build!!!

Very nice - assuming you had an sps-v and had it cut down?

 

[hahco]

very cool. you made a run of the mill sps tac look really nice. I especially like that MK6 on there.

 

[hahco]

thank you, can't wait to see if the "go" matches the "show"

thank you!!

If its the 20" sps shouldnt it be 1/10 twist? (I have two). What are you shooting out of it?

 

[dcnyli]

1/12.... 168g TAP AMAX

the AAC flavor (threaded barrel) is 10 twist. regular SPS tac is 12 twist

 

[Lafayette]

Huh - they must have changed that in the last couple years. Goodluck with your build!

 

[dcnyli]

thank you, not sure about what it was previously...

 

[dcnyli]

took it out a few times and while it's good, it's not what it could be…

Currently down in Georgia getting THE WORKS!!!! Very excited for what is to come…. New barrel(the stock barrel from remington was off center, massive headspace, drilled incorrectly, chamber was anything but round), blueprinted/trued action, heavy bolt lug, new trigger, new firing pin…. Pics when she's done.

yes, I am lucky to have come across a few great folks to help me out on this "re-build" so to speak. Hoping to take delivery in March, no rush and if I have learned anything at all, haste makes waste...
