    Best 308 factory cartridge for 700 SPS Tactical

    FGMM 168gr has been the best for me. I have been able to squeeze a .28" 5 shot group out of mine. The 175gr opens up just a little bit. ymmv

    I cant get a responce from Alpha Mags

    I am in the same boat. I ordered a mag from him 6 weeks ago. After 3 weeks I called him to get a status. aI was very polite and knowing the long wait wasn't too much in a hurry. He stated there were issues with my address? yet he had my phone number. I gave him another address since I would be...

    6.5 Creedmoore as SHTF caliber...?

    The one lesson I learn after the last ammo frenzy after Sandy Hook was, common calibers are the first to go. .223/5.56 and .308 were cleaned out. That now has me questioning the conventional wisdom of sticking to common calibers. I saw a lot of 7.62x54 and 30.06. So my next rifle will be a cheap...

    Level scope using iphone

    I haven't read anywhere on here about using an app on an iphone to level a rifle scope. I figured this out on my own and thought I would pass it on. I am sure I didn't reinvent the wheel but I think it's a solid technique. The app I used is the AE Ballistics app. How I leveled scope...

    College Budget Rifle

    I went with the same set up as you have, including scope. I opted for the B&C m40 so I could afford a Timney trigger. Best thing I ever did.

    bell and carlson m40 stock

    I just received my M40 stock back from Badger Ord few days ago. I bought the PTG DBM from Stockysstocks for 120.00 and had Badger Ord do the M5 inletting. There's a little gap behind the magazine well but you don't notice it and doesn't affect function. Its the best buy on a DBM system I found...

    bell and carlson m40 stock

    I have the B&C M40 on my 700 so I can use it for hunting. I am shooting below .5 moa with it. I do have a stock saddle on mine. I've been shooting it on the range more than taken it hunting. Didn't realize how much fun it is trying to squeeze as much accuracy out it as I can. The deer don't...
