My first precision rig.

[TXLEO]

I'm pretty excited to learn more about long range shooting. My sgt at work has been doing it for a long time and is gonna help me out with technique and developing a load.

It's a Remington 700P LTR .308, EGW 20moa base, SWFA rings, Leupold LRT Mk4 6.5-20 TMR Reticle. Trying to figure out who made the DBM so I can order some extras. It is totally unmarked.

Got the rifle locally in a trade and the scope from a Hide member. I have 20 rounds of PRIVI "match" 168 grn ammo I got with the rifle that I'll use to sight in. I found some 155grn bullets in stock and ordered 100 so I'm gonna try to work a load up with the IMR 4064 I already had. Already learned a ton and look forward to learning a lot more.

nice looking rifle, but keep your eye out for more bullets. 100 aint going to last long.

No doubt. I didn't want to commit to a larger quantity till I knew they'd shoot in my gun. And I was dealing with the financial side with manager of funds and recreation....

Very nice rig. An awesome choice to start with.
You'll need to raise the comb a bit.
Get yourself a stock pack, build up under neath it with some foam. I used the rubber kitchen drawer liner (the non-slip stuff) folded over to add height to mine.

Looks like a wyatt's DBM.
Very serviceable.

Nice looking rifle. I'm really liking how the bottom metal looks more and more. I just can't justify to myself the 300 bux just for something that looks cool but won't make groups smaller

One day I'll talk myself (and more importantly the wife) into one just because

Thanks fdkay! Although $67 for a new mag seems steep! Maybe one will do!

Nice Rig! As far as the cheek riser is concerned, I got one of these - cheek pad It velcros on and I put a eagle industries stock pack over it. Had perfect cheek weld.

That is a great looking rifle TXLEO. Congratulations and welcome to world of precision riflery. You will find this is just the beginning. But it is a great learning experience. I am still learning myself.

I use a karsten cheek rest on my rig. They are a very nice piece and compliments the stock. Only modification it needed was to soak it in hot water to soften it up so i could form it around the stock better.

He is a great guy to do business with and ships very fast.
