I got a chance to shoot my Remington 700 Police .308 Win. with Leupold Mark 4 3-9X Mil-dot Precision Rifle scope out to 300 yrds. I was getting 1 3/4 to 2 inch groups with the 4 rounds the rifle holds. The rounds shot were 168 gr. Seirra Match King bullets and Varget Powder.
Some Hooligan with an AK in .223 was spraying my targets so disregard the 1 and 2 shot lone groups.
I highly recommend the new Mark 4 PR scopes.

Aloha Mark,

I just popped in to look around.. and your post is awesome... I love the range. It looks like it sits in a basin... cool!

Great shooting! And, it looks like you get to drive right up to your targets... man, that is convenient.

If you get an inkling to talk more about your range and your shooting day, would love to hear (or read) about it.

Aloha,

Tom O.

Tom,

Actually with this Remington 700 Police rifle it marks my first entry into the Sniper Rifle/Tactical firearm. I'm mostly a surplus military rifle collector. Mainly American Rifles and SMLE rifles.

So hopefully I will pick up some wisdom from the more experienced tactical shooters here.

that car would make a nice 1000 yard target :wink:

Aloha Mark,

Looks like you got the "fomula"! The 168 SMK and the Varget is a formidable combination!

Is your Rem stock? Or accurized? Looks to be good shooting to me!

How do you like your "bolt" gun?

Aloha,

The rifle is still stock. I'm thinking of pillar bedding the action with Devcon.
At the same range a guy has the same rifle that is bedded and he gets half the group size I get.

The two things that I would change on this rig is the 1:12 barrel to 1:10 and change out the Leupold MK4 PR to a Leupold LR M1 or M3.

Didn't I see a post that you have a Loopy M1 or M3?

Nooooo.
I still have a years payment till it's all mine.
Also I won't get my personalized plate till 2 weeks from today.
It's M14 TRW. :mrgreen:
Hopefully that will stop some one from shooting at it.

Aloha Mark,

I am confident that "pillar" or simple bedding (if your stock is aluminum bedded) will improve the accuracy of your rifle. I am "SOLD" on this now.

Are you going to shoot out the old barrel before rebarreling or are you just going for it?

On scopes, I started with my SA 6-20x56mm and changed to my Leupold Mark4 16x on Badger MAX 50 rings and Badger rail. Since I used the same rings, it was too high, so just last week, I changed to "low" Badger MAX 50 rings. This setup is ideal for the range that I get to shoot at.

I also replaced my Rem trigger with a Jewell trigger which was factory set at 1# for target shooting. I have tried everything to make it "AD" but it has survived and functioning awesome!

I am about at the point where there is nothing more that I can do and will need to send it out to a gunsmith for the next steps... like you, I want to replace my barrel, and at the same time, true up the receiver and square the lugs. I am hoping for a really accurate bolt gun, but more just willing to enjoy experimenting...

Aloha,

Tom O.

There is a 90% chance that I will be rebarreling the rifle with a Krieger 1:10 CM barrel in late July or early August. I fell in love with the Krieger 1:10 SS barrel on my LRB M14SA rifle. I'll post pics and a review if I rebarrel the rifle.

Any chance you could fix the pics?
