    Muzzle Velocity, SPS Tactical and FGMM 168?

    Re: Muzzle Velocity, SPS Tactical and FGMM 168? You shouldn't loose any velocity according to this article: I don't have a chrono but the ballistics match up and I'm hitting stuff at 800 yards with my SPS tactical. Even a 50 fps difference can have a major impact at that range...

    A tough choice between two rifles

    Re: A tough choice between two rifles Here's a really good article on shorter barrels. http://www.tacticaloperations.com/SWATbarrel/ You won't loose too much velocity with 20"s (GENERAL STATEMENT) but it's going to have a HECK of a flash and it'll really go boom. If flash or report...

    Remington SPS tactical issues

    Folks- I have been "lurking" on this forum for quite some time and feel that I have received more than I could ever give. Recently, I purchased a Remington 700 SPS tactical. It rides in a Bell and Carlson Medalist stock, topped with a SWFA 10x42SS scope on Leupold rings and mounts. Shooting...
