Re: Remington sps tactical out of the box performance?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: cpt. obvious</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Thanks for the help guys. All the shops Ive called dont have the tactical in stock. No one in winston has one. Im at myrtle beach now, just called 3 shops down here, same deal. They are backordered everywhere. I cant wait to get my hands on a rifle that will actually shoot.

Well, I wanted you to know, I have results ALOT sooner than I thought. My scope came in yesterday, and went to range today (again, 700 SPS Varmint .308 26" HB Vortex 6.5-20x44)
These groups are with a box stock rifle, NOTHING has been touched, and I am actually still breaking in teh rifle. I now have 35 (20 today) rounds down teh pipe.
I got sighted in today with some help from some guys at teh range at 50 yards, and then I hopped over to teh 100 yard, and here is what I came up with:
4 shot group (sorry about the ruler, LOL!!)
3 shot group:
Now, keep in mind, that I have not been on a range in 20-25 years, and have not fired a rifle in 3-4+ years, AND the ammo I used today was teh absolute "cheapest" you can get...$13 a box of 20, Winchester 150 grain from Wal Mart.
So, you figure with some more range time behind teh scope/rifle, and start loading up my Hornady I picked up from Powdervalley, and I think I should see some REAL nice groups. All in all, VERY happy with this rifle...ALOT better results than I thought for first time out.
