    My almost complete rifle build. Remington SPS

    It's the 1-12 twist. A friend of mine have me some 155 vld that he loaded and they were all sub Moa. The worst groups I had were with the 180 grain. Also 175 smk's don't print very good 100 yard groups for me, but seem better out at 500 yards and beyond. Best groups were with 168 smk's. I...

    My almost complete rifle build. Remington SPS

    Thanks! It was my shot at getting better at long range. I currently own a 300RUM sendero, and had to get rid of my kimber advanced tactical in 300WM. So I figured a cheaper caliber to shoot was a good thing, and a lighter caliber would help with flinching. I also have been shooting a crazy...

    My almost complete rifle build. Remington SPS

    Thanks! I am constantly saving up money to upgrade in the future. So far I have purchased a PTG stealth DBM and have the money saved up to buy a rock creek 5r barrel. My smith says he'll do the work needed for 350, so I have to save that up too. I will probably have him true the action while...

    My almost complete rifle build. Remington SPS

    The scope is good for the money. The FFP is spot on. I have ranged targets out to 1200 yards fairly easy. Used the math formula and double checked with my Leica rangefinder. It holds zero and has been knocked around a few times in the back of my car. The clicks were really mushy, but stiffened...

    My almost complete rifle build. Remington SPS

    A few months back I asked a ton of questions and received some really good answers. I thought I would post the rifle that I ended up with. I only had 1300 to spend so I needed to be as cheap as possible, but wanted to end up with a quality rifle. I started with the remington 700 SPS varmint...

    Need some opinions.

    Re: Need some opinions. I have been saving brass for all my rifles for 8 or more years. Mostly all from hornady or remington. A reloading kit is my next purchase, and am considering going half with my dad. I did take a local class on reloading a few months ago, and it was very informative...

    Need some opinions.

    Re: Need some opinions. I want to start reloading but I priced everything at around 300 to start. Which includes the reloading kit, brass, primers, dies, and anything else needed. It is a little too pricey at this point, since I just dropped 1400 on a rifle. I found some 165 nosler customs at...

    Need some opinions.

    Re: Need some opinions. So I had to wait for two weeks, but my local Cabela's finally got my .308 SPS varmint in. I only paid 549 for it, and seems to be a nice start to a precision rifle. I also ordered a Falcon menace 5-25x50 mil/mil with the bl20 reticle from SWFA, with SFWA STD rings, and...

    Need some opinions.

    Re: Need some opinions. Thanks nuttshooter, that was a review I was looking for. It seems to be a hit or miss on quality, but it does have a warranty from Bushnell. There is a place thy sells falcons in my town, so I might stop in and handle one before I make my choice.

    Need some opinions.

    Re: Need some opinions. Thanks for the responses guys! On the budget precision build that lonewolf did, I saw that he cut pillars to make the factory bottom metal fit the inletted stock. I know it isn't the best way to run a stock, but it will allow me to save up for the PTG bottom metal or...

    Need some opinions.

    I am going to buy a sps varmint in 308 when I get my taxes back and want to upgrade at the same time. I really like the look of the XCR rifles, but not the price tag. So far I want to buy the Bell and Carlson Tactical medalist, and will go with a egr rail and a millet 4-16x50 TRS. I have also...

    stock options for my extremly moded Mosin

    Re: stock options for my extremly moded Mosin There is a Promag Archangel stock that adds a detachable mag and has adjustable cheek rest and length of pull. It was at the shot show this year. It isn't available yet, but the price is around 400. MOSIN STOCK
