Well..I'm thrilled!

[Djstorm100]

Finally after some time I've been able to build my self a good quality bolt gun. It's a little different than shooting AR platform but I got use to it pretty quickly. I got to stretch it's legs this past weekend out to 500 yards. I'm extremely thrilled what this rifle did stock and for this being the third range session that I've had with it.

Build
Remington AAC-SD .308
Bell and Clarkson M40 stock
Timney 510 Trigger
Nightforce scope base
Seekin rings
Vortex Viper PST 6-24 FFP
KRG Bolt knob
AAC Brakeout 2.0 (still waiting)

Nice rig and good shootin!

 

[Donr13]

Nice shooting

 

[sib1948]

Good looking rifle and shoots great too! Good luck. With practice those groups shoud shrink some.

Damn good lookin rig there. Solid shooting as well. Is that a Vortex scope level?

 

[Boltfluter]

Awesome rifle and shooting. But, the bolt knob blob must go. Just to nice of a rifle to put that on. Just my personal opinion.

Regards, Paul

Thanks! and yes it is a vortex level.

Paul, I'm split on it to be honest. I got this rifle for a good deal from the LGS and "built" it (more like assemble it) to see if I would like this side of the sport. Which I'm hooked. I'm a left handed shooter by nature (pistol I'm right handed, cross dominate eye as my left eye is dominate).

When I get the stock inlet for some DMB I'll probably get the bolt chopped and threaded.

I think you have the hang of it.

Nice rifle reasonably priced.

Looks like a Shooter! How much does it weight as it sits now?

honestly I have no clue. I'm a small guy 170 lbs 6'2 and I don't have problems lugging it around.

Sharp looking rig, looks like you shoot it well! Is it bedded? Did you have any work done to action?

 

[Djstorm100]

Thank you,

It's a stock action with no bedding work. I bough the rifle home from the lgs and threw it in the BC stock. Then after bedding the scope base and installed the optic I went shooting

went and shot 705 yards in some nasty wind for NC. First time shooting at this distance. I'm happy, all are "close enough"

 

[Boltfluter]

Nicely done. That's a shooter.

Regards,

Paul

 

[Djstorm100]

Thanks Paul!

 

[Distant1]

Nice unit mate and great results for you there to back it in , these AAC rifles just want to shoot , you can spend a lot more for your one hole groups but I've seen enough of these little rifles doing it to know that you don't have to

 

[Djstorm100]

Thanks Distant



Roy and I shooting last weekend

Good looking and nice shooting.

When you get the chance, upgrade the trigger to a Timney 510 CE. It could even shrink those groups.

 

[madarcher427]

How much was that stock? how do you bed the scope base?

What's the difference in 510 vs 510 ce

Stockystocks has them. Use wax and JB weld to bed the scope base.

What's the difference in 510 vs 510 ce

The 510 CE is the premium model for Remington's. Is also called the "Calvin Elite". Has dual sears vs a single sear and can be reliably adjusted down to light pull weights. I ordered mine set for 8 oz. and it's as consistent in the "break" as any trigger I've ever shot.

Use wax and JB weld to bed the scope base.

One can also leave out the wax. Just de-grease the action and scope base well then J-B (or Devcon) it to the action in a semi-permanent installation. Just wax the mounting screws so if you ever do want to remove them you can. If it's ever necessary to remove the base then some heat and a "whack" with a cowhide mallet will take it right off.

I use my scope rails to stiffen the action so I prefer this method on my "Precision" rifles. Kind of like a poor man's way of getting an integrated scope rail.

I use wax on the receiver in case I ever need to remove the rail for whatever reason it may be. I place play-doh in the holes so no JB gets in the threads. Tomato - Tom-a-to.

I just used some dowel rods to fill in the holes and sealed it

OP all I can say is don't touch it, prove it at distance and be happy. A few stories going around of guys searching for the "one holer" modifying their guns only to find it shooting worse in the end. Good luck and happy shooting.
