Step One: Complete

[Clamber]

I'm a happy camper! Got my first precision rifle today.

I got the Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD!

Next week I'll be able to order the scope, rings and base, and then in December most of the other gear I'll need will be on it's way.

Sorry for the crappy picture. It's with a 4mp camera. I had to sell my 18mp camera to get the rifle.

I cannot wait to be able to shoot this thing. Part of me wants to go out and shoot 20 rounds without a scope tomorrow.

I can understand the eagerness, but don't waste your ammo. Nice rifle BTW.

Re: Step One: Complete

Yeah I'd like to hear how it groups too, I had a Rem 700 VLS 22-250 that threw some absolutely pathetic groups right out of the box.

Re: Step One: Complete

Later today, I'm going to get a mount from my Grandpa's 700, and the ACOG from my cousin's SCAR and go shoot 20 rounds of PMC...If the 1' of fresh snow keeps me from getting to the range.

haha def. without the scope
some are picky with ammo but all that I've shot will do wonders with the ammo they like
Now I've seen a few winchester model 70's that didn't shoot with anything!

Re: Step One: Complete

nice looking rifle, i may need a 700 just because

Re: Step One: Complete

I think I'm officially in love with bolt action rifles. I went and shot 20 rounds of PMC Bronze just to shoot it. It was fun with a 3x scope on it, so I can't wait until I get either the SWFA SS 10x or the Falcon Menace 4-14x next week. Should have the whole basic rifle complete by Xmas.

Step 3: Profit!

Re: Step One: Complete

Finally got the base/rings today! I'll hopefully be able to go zero it this weekend. I can't wait.

I think I need to move the scope back a bit though.

Next thing is a bipod and stock pack, and the rifle itself will be done. Still a lot of other gear items I need though.

Re: Step One: Complete

nice looking rifle, but I think you might need to move the scope back a little, unless you got some buggy eyeballs. Have fun with it. Still saving for mine. Post some groups when you get them

Re: Step One: Complete

Yeah, I moved it back a bit. My ammo arrives on Thursday so I'll be able to shoot this weekend! I can't wait.
