    New Setup - Tips, techniques, advice!

    I've got a sps tactical also and I've shot probably a thousand rounds off a bipod with it. I'm used to it for the most part. I haven't been "loading" up on the bipod but my shots are pretty accurate. Will it really make that much of a difference? I'm reloading the custom competition nosler 168...

    New Setup - Tips, techniques, advice!

    I recently started building off of the Remington 700 Varmint 26 inch barrel 308.. Bell and Carlson medalist stock, Vortex PST 6-24x50 scope, Harris bipod, weaver 20 MOA base and also weaver rings. Took it out shooting yesterday and sighted it and was pretty consistently shooting around one...

    Yeah that sounds like a good idea, how long does it take to wear out a barrel? Ill order a new stock in the next few weeks and I may even keep the trigger and just drop the pull on it to see what groups I can get then. I plan on shooting the hell out of it at 100 just to get used to everything...

    My only thing is a longer barrel for longer range later on but I guess I can do that later when I get to that point. I already have the xmark trigger on it, should I just drop it to 2lbs and keep it? Or get a timney?

    I mean I feel like I'm a pretty good shooter for what I'm limited to right now.. But compared to most people on here I'm probably terrible haha ill probably stick with this rifle for a little while and just learn some more of the basics until I get on a longer range

    Yeah my barrel is 20' and I was just thinking for later on I'd want a longer barrel but I may just work on this one a while til I can push it out on further.. Does the velocity affect your adjustments on your scope very much? I just thought a longer barrel could help with the velocity so less...

    Well thanks for the info buddy, we had some at work. Glad I didn't waste my money. I feel that I'm gonna be on here a lot learning new things while I'm building this rifle...

    I know exactly what I want, I just have to build it slowly.. Remington 700 308 26 inch barrel, Bell and Carlson medalist stock, Wyatt's detachable mag conversion, muzzle brake, weaver 20 MOA base, leupold mark 4 scope and rings, and timney trigger.. Just a little expensive haha

    Yeah I'm trying to figure out what to do right now, with my next paycheck I can get the 26 inch barrel and i could build it slowly and just play around with my reloads to see what works best with my other rifle. What is the difference with a 20 and 26 inch barrel though? Like accuracy and range...

    im 18 and want a good long range target rifle. I currently have a Remington 700 sps that I hunt/target shoot with, its pretty accurate but I want a solely target gun, I just now started reloading and have some pretty good groups and loads going (probably not compared to anyone on here) , should...
