So a few of you here have seen the rifle I recently put together, Nothing to special Rem 700 sps varmint in a hs stock with adj lop badger base leupy mark 4 rings and a leupy mark 4 with a older remington trigger thats been tuned to my likings and soon to have badger bottom metal... Well I got a chance to take it to the range today and broke the barrel in cleaning it every few rounds and what not I used 150 grain federal vital shock I believe it was a blue box... No match ammo but good enough while I get my bench set up for my reloading equipment and wally world had em for 13 bucks a box!!! So I was doing 3 shot groups and cleaning in between and man was I impressed it was consistently shooting under a half inch barley over a quarter of a inch at 100 yards and I was getting first round hits on 1/2 inch black shoot n see targets... No pics yet but Im going out again this weekend and I will have pics up for you guys!!! Im just posting because Im really excited and proud because this has been a long process and a wallet killer as well!!! thanks to all you fellas on the hide for all the help and support!!!
