[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2809559, member: 94420"] .472" with thread protector removed. No problem, I don't splain things well enough sometimes. Might try one if I still had one. I think my daughter ran off with my last Harris bi-pod when she moved out. I found a bipod to be a hassle most of the time hunting so I quit using them. I just use my pack most of the time for prone shooting, and used to carry a set of Stoney Point shooting sticks for sitting and kneeling shots, The last solo elk hunt I carried a Bog tripod with Switcheroo so I could use it as a rest and for my spotter. I'm shooting factory ammunition and I want to be able to shoot suppressed. So no to both your questions. I do have more than one .308, I have a M700 that I stole the NF off of. My daughter also exclusively hunts with the .308 Win. However, she moved to Pueblo for work and took her rifles with her. Thank you for your service! I retired in 2017 myself, from the Army Reserves. I'd probably still be in if it wasn't for my accident. I have a good buddy with a private range out in Calhan, and another that lives in Falcon. We've hunted together for 20 years now. I used to live off of Stetson Hills, West of Powers. I couldn't stand the daily commute to and from Ft Carson and needed a job that allowed my wife to stay home with our daughter. So I joined the railroad in 2012, got a bump in pay and was able to buy some acreage East of La Junta Colorado and lower my mortgage by half of what it was. I've done absolutely nothing with this rifle other than disassemble, degrease, lube, reassemble, mount a scope, barrel break in, mess with action screw torques, swap scopes, and shoot suppressed/unsuppressed. The trigger other than being the typical HACT 2 stage is really decent, I haven't put a scale on it. I don't know if there is even an aftermarket trigger for this rifle yet, or if a Timney for a Howa 1500 fits. I'm not trying to make any changes until I can shoot this rifle decently as is. Howa gives a Sub MOA with premium ammunition guarantee for 3 shots.
