Remington 700 .308 is ready to run - 04/20/24 10:59 PM
Bought this from a member earlier this year, but it's not the same gun. Taken off stock deep cleaned and barrel cleaned.
Chronograph numbers average speed from 4 shots is 2642 fps with IS-D of 17.2 using Federal factory ammo 168 gr SMK HPBT's Gold Metal Match. I have 4 boxes of this to shoot before load development.
Stock torqued to 65 in. Lbs, ring bases torqued to 25 in. Lbs and rings torqued to 20 in, lbs. Gun & Scope leveled.
I have it bore sighted and plan to get zeroed at 100' tomorrow then run out to 500 yards for validation.
Range results to follow.
Upgrades:
Trigger tech trigger set to 1.6 lbs.
Defensive Edge mini slab break
Leupold Mark 4 4.5 X 14 50mm
Talley 35mm rings
Scope level
I'll add Cheek piece if needed.
