    New Rem 700

    As for stocks, check out Grayboe. They are a spinoff of McMillian but half the price and still very good quality. I have one on my 700 and love it. As for scopes, you have a lot to choose from. I personally use Nightforce, however they will cost you. I love it, however my next scope will more...

    Movie Theater Anyone Read A Good NON-Fiction Book Lately?

    Currently reading "Hue, 1968" by Mark Bowden. It chronicles the events leading up to the Tet Offensive and ultimately the NVA and Viet Cong's siege of the city. It also goes through in detail the pain staking process of retaking the city. Very good so far. Havnt read it recently, but by far my...

    Range Report my rifle doesnt like 155eld

    Interesting you posted this....I tried Hornady 168gr ELD's in my 700 today and they did terrible. One group was nearly 2 inches at 100 yds...it was probably the worst group my rifle has shot yet. Normally I shoot Hornady's match 168's (non ELD) and can usually manage .75" if I do everything...

    Cannot hit steel at 300 yards...

    Rounds were definately over... no sight of an impact and bullets were definately sailing off. Which makes sense...since I was at a lower magnification setting than I should have been, my 3 MOA holds would have been far above what I was intending. As for shooting steel, to each his own. I've...

    Cannot hit steel at 300 yards...

    Flatwoods, SureShot and B&R Guns are the three rifle ranges that I know of. There are some indoor ranges as well.

    Cannot hit steel at 300 yards...

    By Stone Bay I'm assuming you mean Camp Lejeune. Do/did they allow the public to use their ranges? I know Quantico and Camp Pendleton open up their ranges on the weekends to the public...just gotta be a member. That would be awesome if Lejeune did the same. Yesterday was my first day shooting...

    I'm no longer in SoCal. Left there in 2014 and am now in North Carolina. I was living in SoCal back when I created my account here.

    Cannot hit steel at 300 yards...

    No, I do not have a chronograph. I have been putting off buying one (too many expensive hobbies, trying to cut back and save a little) but after this I'm definately going to buy one so that I can start calculating bullet drop easier (and more accurately). Looking at the Magnetospeed Sporter.

    Cannot hit steel at 300 yards...

    No, I dont have a chronograph. It is on my list of things I need. Yes, I will do that the next time I go out. I dont know why I didn't do that today... It is SFP, and no...after I read your post I checked the scope and I was at the wrong magnification the whole time...looks like you may have...

    Cannot hit steel at 300 yards...

    Hello all. I have a Remington 700 Varmint in .308 that I have been working a load up for. So far, the best load I have worked up is 45.5 gr of Varget and Hornady 168 gr match bullets in Winchester brass. Using this recipe, I can consistently achieve sub MOA groups at 100 yards. Anyway, using...

    Building an AR using FN parts

    Hello everyone. I have decided to build a no frills A2 style AR. For nostalgia purposes, I thought it would be cool to build it as close as possible to the one I used through boot camp. Since those were manufactured by FN, I figured I would go that route. I live just a few miles away from the...
