Remington 700 Range Day 2-21-16
 So I took the good old Rem700 out to the range this past weekend to see how it wil shoot with a new stock and Fed 175gr BTHP Match ammo. Saturday I shot at 100yds to check zero and then on Sunday it was 300yds. Lucky for me, the winds died down on Sunday and it was not a factor. First, I'll post the picks from the 100yd shooting. I only took pics of the best targets of the weekend and honestly it was about par for the coarse. I also had some Perfecta 147gr fmj that I shot for the heck of it but, as you will see this barrel does not care for it. Rifle in it's current setup.....   100yds.....top was Perfecta 147's and bottom was Fed 175's. Center was sight in with Perfecta      This was a good group with the Perf 147's minus the two flyers  100yds also      This rifle prefers Fed 168gr BTHP Match. Here are four shots with some borrowed ammo from another shooter. The group closed up nicely.  Here are two average targets from Sunday at 300yds with the Fed 175's   In the end I'm happy with 1moa or just slightly more than 1moa at 300yds. Now if I had any 168's, I'd probably get > 1moa. I will get some more 168's and hit the range again when I get a chance at 300yds. The stock is a Magpul Hunter 700 and it is awesome! The cheek weld is perfect and the LOP is adjustable with a nice pad on the end. The rifle felt solid and well balanced as well as the felt recoil was lowered quite a bit. I'm happy with it.

Yep, I tried sighting in my Savage with Perfecta 147....big mistake. I believe the bolt action .308's in general prefer 168 grain...rifle in the Corps did, my old Savage did. Just ordered some more Black Hills Match in 168
good shootin', Roacjh

Good shooting. Can't wait for the weather to break so I can go back to some long distance shooting. I agree about the 168 gr. That's my and my rifle's preferred round.
