    So I guess I give up, I’m looking at Remington.

    I have the 700 SPS Tac in the 20" .223 as well, however mine still has the POS Hogue furniture but i installed an older 700 trigger when i broke mine. Its nice to see someone has had success with 75 gr pills...i have only went up to the Hornady 68 gr BTHP with Hodgdon CFE223

    New production class rifle

    I wouldn't look at going into a production match with a $1000.00-$1200.00 rig that you know inside and out as a disadvantage...if you perform well and you beat those $2000.00-$4000.00 rigs...it just makes the win and bragging rights that much sweeter. Been there, done that. You have to watch...

    You might poke around in the Reloading Depot room also, there is a lot of recipes in there. Alliants site load data page only gives you 1 load for the RL powders, they don't give you the min/max like some of the other powder companies data...

    Gunsmithing Remington Action

    I have the opportunity to buy a Remington Sportsman 78 in 30-06. I have been researching to find out if it is in deed the 700 in less appealing attire.

I went with the .223 so my daughters would enjoy shooting without the abuse of recoil and so they will continue to shoot with me i will be keeping it as is...

    Would a Remington 700 sps tactical in 223 be a good starter gun?

    I bought an SPS Tactical 223 last year for me and my daughters to shoot. I hand load 55 gr V-Max Hornady's with Varget and this is the result of a 3 shot group at 100 yards off a Walmart bi-pod and a rear bag. The only modification done was the action is bedded and the barrel channel was opened...

    Youth 243 build

    I have a 16 year old daughter and she could sit and shoot a box of Hornady Reduced recoil rounds thru a 700 BDL 243 but my 9 year old daughter pulled the trigger once and she was done.

    Advanced Marksmanship Judging wind.

    I just had my first outing at shooting distance. I was set-up at 630 yards with my 700 SPS Tactical .223. We were shooting in a changing 20-25 mph wind and as you can see the direction at 325 was a lot different than at my position which was a little lighter speed, guessing about 10-15. The...
