I just aquired one of these Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 AAC-SD rifles. It is a 1 in 10" Twist rifling out of a 20" Barrel. I threw it into a 1.5 AICS stock, attached a 7.62 AAC 51-tooth Muzzle Break , and added the Badger Bolt Knob. sonn it will be getting a AAC 7.62-SD suppressor for it.

Just have a couple questions for those that may have one already....

What kind of groups are you getting with it and with what type of ammo/distance?

With this 1 - 10" twist rate, what types of bullets will this stabilize? Heavier & Sub-sonic Bullets?

I just got one as well and tried Black Hills 180gr Nosler AccuBond out to 100yrds. I was getting clover leafing the shots. I did not get out the calipers. When I get the new scope on it, I should do even better.

Mine is shooting 3/4" groups at 100 with both 165 sgk's and 168 smk's. I changed out the stock for a B&C and am very happy with it. Gun is most likely capable of better, but I am not very skilled to say the least. Thinking about trying some 175 smk's soon for giggles. I like the 165 sgk's and 168 smk's because the POI does not shift much between the 2. This guns primary role is to whack bambi and secondary role is to teach me to be a better marksman. So far it is doing both well. I will stress that I HATE the factory hogue stock. Fact is it is probably the key to keeping the price under $600 for them.

Good luck.

you want to use a 168gr up to a 220gr, nice gun, definetly sub moa up and beyond 1000

3/4 MOA 5 shot groups all day long with Federal gold medal match 175s here. Guns probably still better than I am. I'll let you know after I improve what it ends up being.

I seriously doubt any of those rifles are sub moa at 1000 and beyond with any bullet. Including ones covered with hocus pocus dust. Your statement is rather unrealistic.

^^^^^
Yeah it may be unrealustic but it's not because the rifle. A 1/2MOA rifle is a half MOA rifle at all the ranges it's caliber restricts it to. The real problem is the shooter. Just because you can get a half min group at 100 doesnt mean you'll do the same at even 300.

What comic book have you been reading? Clearly, you don't know shit about what you're speaking of. Although you've only posted less than a dozen times, it would serve you well to do more reading and less posting because right now, you're only making your ignorance more apparent with each post.

just because you cant doesnt mean others cant it all comes down to the shooter and 1k with a 16" barrel has already been done so going to a 20" shouldnt be a problem

Got some 175gr SMKs from Southwest Ammunition on the way to see what they do at 1000.

I have one and mine likes 175 gr SMKs over 43.0 grains of Varget. I got .51 avg 5 shot group with the stock rifle at 100 yds. After a trigger change and a bedding job by Accurate Ordnance my groups went down to .37.
this pic is at 685 yrds using just a bipod and 2.5-10 vortex pst

Six groove.
