    Rifle Scopes Proper Scope Mounting

    I'm new to the long distance shooting game and just purchased my first rifle and scope: a Remington 700 5R .308 and a Steiner Tactical 4-16x50mm (34mm tube). Also went with a Badger Ordnance base (30 MOA - 306-46) and rings (34mm 1" set - 306-75). Getting ready to mount it and would like some...

    Stock options for Remington 700 .308 Milspec

    Thanks all. Glad to have the barrel contour cleared up, that opens up more options for me (stock with an M24 inlet seem scarce). So if I understand correctly, you can either get an aluminum chassis or pillar bedding, and fiberglass/epoxy bedding in addition to either? If so, which is better...

    Stock options for Remington 700 .308 Milspec

    I recently purchased a Remington 700 5R in .308 Win with a 24" milspec barrel in a 1:11.2" twist. It came with what appears to be an HS Precision stock that Remington commissioned for this rifle (if anyone can clarify or correct me on that please do so). I'm not a fan of the stock and would like...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    Thanks, Sako. How about the US Optics swivel bubble level? USOptics Ext Cant Indicator Rail Mounted Swivel Bubble Level FREE S&H BBL-300. U.S. Optics Riflescope Mounts, Rings & Bases. What are the disadvantages of the base attachment?

    Thanks. Came up when Googling "AZLRPRS". Looks like a fun event. Definitely something I would look to participate in but I will need to segregate from the pros there until I gain some experience. :) What are the best places to go that offer long range that I could work my way up in?

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    Thanks fellas, I'll keep that in mind. I have a Jewell at the end of my wishlist, but at the end because I want to have some time on the stock XMP so as to make it all the sweeter when I upgrade.

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    German, you read my mind. :) It's a decent stock, to be sure, but I'm fast at work to replace it. Had my eye on the Bell & Carlson Medalist for some time but want to depart from that style. Deliberating now between the HS Precision Pro-Series M24 and the McMillan ADJ A3-5 (or a Manners T2A...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    Thanks for the reply, Sako. Do you recommend a bubble level fixed to the scope or would one I could drop in place as needed work? Haven't delved into that yet, what are the options?

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    Nice, congrats. I heard some complaints about the size in reviews but didn't feel it was enough to dissuade me given all the other admirable features (not to mention the price point). Perhaps the size and weight would adversely affect someone deployed for long periods with it, but even so the...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    Thanks for the instruction, mjh. I added my location and will be following up in that forum - glad you pointed that out, should prove useful. Out of curiosity, which scope do you have mounted on your 700?

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    Much appreciated, Schoolboy. I had most of that in mind when mentioning effective range, but you put it all together well - still learning on my end so thanks for the clarification. I ordered my scope, along with my base and rings, from EuroOptic - they had, and still have as of today, a deal...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 to a Remington 700 5R

    Is there a process for determining the exact ring height and rail cant that are needed for a configuration? I assume you want to mount the scope as close to the rifle without touching it, correct? With a 308 in particular, will a certain rail cant restrict your effective range?

    Hello all. New to long distance shooting and even newer to Sniper's Hide. After researching options for a couple months, I recently purchased a Remington 700 5R (24"). I have the rifle in hand and it's the only component of the rig that I have so far. The scope is next, which I recently...
