Hi all, been lurkig around for a few months and decided to join. I need some help in the precision department (I think). I will be joining the USMC in January of 2010 with the end goal being a Scout-Sniper or a member of one of the Recon special forces teams. I realize they are both lofty goals and will be extremely hard to achieve but why have goals if you won't go for it? I currently have a Remington 700 LTR that was bought from a SWAT member up here in Alaska. It has a McMilliam A4 stock, trued action, Badger bolt knob, some trigger work done (2lbs single stage), a Shooter's Ridge swivel/canting bipod and to top it off it has Millet 4.5-16x50mm mildot scope with a nightforce base and TPS (I think) rings. It's shooting 1/2 MOA with 168gr FGMM at the moment.
Basically I would like some input on what I should try while out shooting versus simply punching paper. I have practiced out to 500 yards and been able to maintain that 1/2 MOA. Are there any USMC specific things that I should be practicing/mastering so that I can have an edge against other people I would be competing against? Thank you all very much for any information. I'll post a pic of the rifle in a little bit.
