The Nightforce is a dream.. it's so dependable for corrections.. no guesswork at all unlike some others ive seen.

The rifle - shoots beautifully, but I'm still waiting for a day when I can go out with no wind and refine my non-existent shooting technique and really see what the rifle can do. With a rifle this good (for a first rig) it's hard to judge how it performs. Time will tell

I'll have to get some groups on paper and measure it properly too.

cheers for the comment

Looks good. You will need something to lift up your cheek, like a stock pack or karsten rest. The rings are pretty tall.

Then a sling. Have someone watch you to fine tune your positions. Then, shoot, log shots, repeat!

I can email you some free printable targets for groups and calls.

Re: New Harris 6"-9" LMS bipod =)

Yeah I also noticed how high the rings were. If it were possible I might try ti trade them back in for lower rings. Main reason being that cheek pisition might be difficult with rings that high. Cheek adjustment looks to be needed here for sure. Also, I cant remember but I believe remington used to have 8lb. stock trigger which is way way too heavy. I really love the jewel trigger so that is an oprion. I have heard from others that the money saved on other lesser triggers is not worth the difference but I havnet shot any of them to say. I had a smith work on the stock trigger of my 700P (first rig) and i like it but it is no where near as smooth as my jewel on the custom.
Cant go wrong with nightforce scope...I love mine.

Best of luck...

Nice looking rig for sure. However the first upgrade I'd do is change the rings out. That Nightforce is sitting way to high. Then I'd get a good trigger job or a new trigger.
 
Re: New Harris 6"-9" LMS bipod =)

As far as beginner rigs go,you have a wonderful setup!

You are very aware about swapping your rings,so i wont comment.But i'd shoot the guts out of it in it's factory configurations before i changed anything!

If it ain't broke,don't fix it!

Thanks Mark - I think a Karsten rest sounds pretty good - especially if these rings need a change out so I can adjust it again. Cheers for the tip and thanks for the offer re targets - I made some A3 targets myself - they work well but I find, so far, steel plates painted white then measured after a few groups works the best for me. Took me 3 shots to zero the gun within ~1 inch. Still need to refine that though.

I thik the rings are going to have to go. Got them as good deal and now it seems for good reason. Nevermind - can be changed quickly and simply, bar cost.

I actually have no complaints. It's the 40-X pro (?) and I have been able to change the weight of the pull by just a single, external screw. Work very well - just heard so much about the upgrades out there so I was contemplating another purchase but, honestly, I'm happy to sick with it (especially when I think about my mates trigger on his 700 SPS).

Ha, thanks man. It's a good way to be totally broke but nothing beats a man's pride and joy. Could be a car, rifle, whatevs but it's all so worth it when you go to get it out the safe! It's like Xmas every day. Getting a Pelican 1720 in Tan for it next week too - going to be sweeeeet.
