hunting 308 finally together pics

[fastbs]

got the latest toy together finally. goal was an easy to carry, all around hunting rifle.

remington 700 .308 sps

factory barrel cut to 20" and crowned

bell & carlson medalist stock w/ flush cups on left side

egw hd 20 moa scope base

burris zee low rings

nikon monarch 3-13x42

tried to but just couldn't resist a paint job. the paint isn't for everybody but i like it and enjoy doing it.

like 5 shot groups but this is all i have. did this getting it zeroed in.

Just got done putting something new on it. had to trim the scope cap up a little but this knob idea is pretty cool. instead of cutting and drilling to get a better than factory knob this thing just clamps on. I'll paint the knobs and touch up the scope cap sometime.

Cool rifle very nice set up. The only question i have is what is the point of having two scopes rings up front?

thanks for the comments. next one i paint i'm gonna try to put together a "how to" with pics, it's fun and fairly easy.

short answer: there's really not one.

i'm surprised no one else has brought up the 3 rings. saw somewhere a pistol that had 3 rings on it and liked the look, now if i use these rings on anything bigger than a rim fire i put 3 on it.

Yes 2 would hold just fine.
