Boyd, is there any differance between this and the Ultimate Tripod from Hart's?

Jay, one other thing you need to be sure of. Is the scope proven? When I started shooting my 700VS I couldn't get it to group under an inch at 100yds. I tried several different poweders, bullets, primers, cases, you name it. Groups were always 1". I fire lapped the barrel, lapped the lugs, still...

Seven Mag, I have been shooting Retumbo powder and the Hornady 162 Amax in my 7mag. It's a Remington 700. This combo shoots great and gives me 3000fps. Groups have been 1/2" to 5/8" @100yds and about 1.75" @ 300yds. Two things I noticed with Retumbo, the velocity extreme spread is very low and...

Jay, just something to think about. The first time I fire new brass I seat the bullets hard into the lands and use a starting load of a medium burning rate powder for that cartridge. I feel this gives me very straight cases and helps form them to my particular chamber. After words I neck size...

Jay, try some Ramshot Xterminator in your 223. I have found it and Benchmark work very well with 50 to 52 grain bullets in my 700VS 223Rem. Excellent accuracy and velocity. Exterminator gives me lower extreme spreads and a little better accuracy at 300yds, less vertical most likely due to the...

I have been shooting the 162 gr AMAX in my 7mm Rem. Mag. with very good results. 3 shots at 300yds have been 1.75" to 2". Also using Retumbo with this combo, great powder, extreme spreads less then 10fps. The AMAX box actually recommends a twist of 1 in 8, but I have had no problems with my...

littletoes, what caliber is your accumark? I was considering one in 7mm STW but don't hear many good things about their accuracy.

Hello to all, I have been reading the post and find this very interesting. I picked up both Long Range From Point Blank videos at Hart's and thought they were fantastic, especially the second one. I am very interested in getting a long range rifle, something that will eventually get me out to...
