    Just Ordered

    a Bell & Carlson Medalist A5 stock in tan w/ black web for my Rem 700 SPS-Varmint. I had recently put my SPS SS hunting rifle into a B&C Medalist Sporter Stock and was very pleased with the performance. Thought I'd roll the dice again. Stay tuned for photo and range test results. FH

    Pros and Cons of 6.5 x 284 round for L. Range?

    Re: Pros and Cons of 6.5 x 284 round for L. Range? You got the higher price part right...MidwayUSA, for example, sells match ammo for $59/box of 20, hunting ammo at $58/box. At those prices, I don't think you'll have a barrel life problem. FH

    7-08 or 260 Rem?

    Re: 7-08 or 260 Rem? Key issues are: 1. Do you reload? (if not, 7mm-08 by default) 2. What do you plan to hunt? (and I love the 6.5x55 SE and my Ruger No 1A with a Leupy 2.5-8x36, but the question is still pertinent...frontal area and bullet weight do count) Both are great calibers...my...

    FGGM or Honady Sperformance for hunting?

    Re: FGGM or Honady Sperformance for hunting? I bought a box of Superperformance 165gr in .30-06 to see if the hype was right. I have a Win M70 EW and a Savage 116 Weather Warrior, both of which are sub-MOA rifles with FGGM and my hand loads. While I did not have any overpressure problems with...

    Fun day at the range

    I took a few of my hunting rifles to the local range for a practice session yesterday and, after verifying my sight-ins, went to work. The first up was my unmodified Rem 700 XHR in .25-06 w/ a Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 on Leupy STD bases and rings. I was using my hand loads of once-fired WW...

    Serious feeding problems.

    Re: Serious feeding problems. BTW, Bowhunter311, Plato gets incorrectly attributed with the quote in your signature. It was first stated by George Santayana in 1922 and later misattributed to Plato by Douglas MacArthur in his 1962 speech at West Point. Not a big deal, but if you're gonna use...

It has been a sub-MOA shooter with everything but Hornady Superperformance ammo and has delivered 1/2" 100 yd performance with my standard match hand loads of 47.0gr of...

    Re: New rifle please help Lose the GF...if you end up marrying her, she'll bust your balls, take a disproportionate amount of your stuff and hook up with your buddies just to piss you off. As to the rifle, I'd lose that too...2" at 100 yds sux...bvig time. I've got a Rem 700 SPS-V, bone stock...

    best place to buy remington aac 308 rifle

    Re: best place to buy remington aac 223 rifle In my experience, if you have developed a decent relationship with a gun store (I have, with several), you can ask the store to order what you want from one of their several distributors or, if you know who, from a specified distributor or...

    SMK's for deer hunting?

    Re: SMK's for deer hunting? This is a frequent question in fora. The Sierra Reloading Manual is specific: SMKs SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR HUNTING APPLICATIONS. When I hunt, I want to be as likely to succeed as possible. Accordingly, I'll use the most appropriate tools for the job to be done...

    Winchester model 70 in 30-06, or r700 in .308?

    Re: Winchester model 70 in 30-06, or r700 in .308? I have a Win 70 Extreme Weather in .30-06 that has produced consistent 3-shot groups of 0.5-0.75" at 100 yds...no FTFs or FTEs. I have a R700 SPS SS in .308 that produces 0.5" 3-shot groups and an SPS-Varmint, also in .308, that produces...

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt Having read most of the posts here, I count myself in the group having had good results and experience with Remington. I currently have three...a SPS SS in .308 Win (2008), a XHR in .25-06 Rem (2010) and a SPS Varmint (2011). All three...

    SMK's for deer hunting?

    Re: SMK's for deer hunting? FWIW, I've developed good match loads with SMKs and Nosler Custom Competitions for my .308s and .30-06s. I've developed good hunting loads for TTSXs in my .30-06s and TSXs in my .308s. If an animal's vitals are 2-3 MOA depending on distance, why worry about 0.5 MOA...

    Remington 700 .308 sps tactical

    Re: Remington 700 .308 sps tactical I went for the SPS Varmint...it's always easier to chop a barrel than it is to weld 2-6" back on. Mine is super accurate to date...0.192-0.35" for 3-shot groups is the rule. When I sort out my priorities, I'll make some changes; first will be glass, next...
