Hey everyone, Iv been one to just lurk in the background and read posts. I joined to have better access and to get better at putting bullets where I want them. I recently ordered a Remington 700 police in 300 wm - 5r, 24" barrel - threaded, 1-10 twist. I also bought an athlon cronus btr 4.5-29x56 in Mil. 34mm tube. I have some questions...
I was looking at a seekins or badger 20 MOA rail - do I need the 20 MOA (obvioulsy I want it to be as versatile as possible) - it seems as if this is all seekins offers? Will this optic dial down enough for a 100 yrd zero?
I was looking at seekins or badger rings - what height do you think I should buy?
Muzzle device, I was thinking an APA little bastard - yeh or neh?
Any advice on a quality thread on suppressor for it?
Also, finding a supply of factory ammo is like trying to bottle unicorn tears right now, when it does become available does anyone have a factory load that shoots well from this rifle?
Any load data for this rifle would be great as well once I start reloading this cartridge.
Again, I am new to the long distance game so if I said anything that was stupid feel free to let me know, im not not easily offended. Just looking for accurate info to better my shooting and get this rifle set up the best I can. I only have experience with ARs, hunting rifles, shotguns and bows (25-06, 223, 6.5 creedmoor - 300 yrds and under)
Thanks!
