Shot 200 yards yesterday, and the gun was a very solid shooter, no real fliers when I do my part..LOL

My best group shot with 168 Sierra MK.. 42 g IMR 4064 and an OAL OF 2.806 measured 1.1"

I am so looking forward to shooting further distances.

All but the cold barrel shot, I blame the loads, were 1 moa or under shooting.

Looks like the next 1000y match is Oct 11th. Hope to see you out. If you want to discuss loads, send me a PM and we can email about it. 168's SMK's will not make it supersonic from a 308.

[Eric]

Well just dumped some more cash... damn addictive hobbies!!!! Ordered some Badger Ordnance 30mm USMC rings (with the 1" inserts) and a 20 MOA rail. I did this in preperation for the scope purchase. I am officially cutoff for a while from buying " upgrades " Gotta Love the wife though cause she really puts up with alot. LOL ........

[Guest SureShot308]

Badger Ordnance rings and bases are the bomb.

[Eric]

A picture with the new rail and rings.. it is coming along!

[MikeW]

Look'n real nice..

Did you get a chance to soot this weekend?

[Eric]

I did get to shoot. I was trying to just get her sighted in. The best 5 shot group was .31"... so far I was happy. I will be going to try some new loads on Friday am.

[Eric]

I was cut off but snuck in 1 more purchase....I just ordered a new " OLD " style trigger set to 3.0 LBS. I am asking that it be set to 2.5 LBS before he sends it to me... I will let you know what I think of it... here is the link.... www.accu-tig.com

[MikeW]

Looks good... looks like He (Accu-tig) has a lot of nice products.

Rem trigger. X-Treme Shooting - Home These are the sweetest triggers I have ever felt and completely adjustable to boot. There is a tactical model as well for the Remington.

[Eric]

Yep, looks like it will be tuned to 2.5lbs for me... yehaw... no more unpredictable trigger pull...

I am also going to get my old one tuned or just sell it , not sure yet. I flattened the trigger itself out. It feels like the old flat one without the groves.

[Eric]

Took her out to 300 yards taday and shot some steel... lots of fun when you get to hear that delayed report. Once I got zeroed.. I was hitting 100%... Had to get the gun rezeroed to 100 yards as I just had the gun all apart.

[MikeW]

A nice way to spend a fall day it sounds like.

Oct 11th Warren County Rifle Club is having two 1000 yard matches. If you found some 175's, you should come on out and enjoy a layed back club match, while we still have nice weather. You don't need a bunch of load testing the first time out either. Shoot a safe load, and get to know the course of fire, etc. This could be it for the year, match wise. We are into pick-up dates at this point. First timers at AEDC shoot free. (all you regulars gotta pay the $15)

Nice looking rifle. I'm looking forward to seeing you stretch it legs.

I'll now cease my thread-jacking......

[Eric]

No problem at all Chris... I may go.... Never been out that far though.... email me more about it please.
