[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1124232, member: 90399"] Great shooting Bob! Yeah, they're a pretty decent rifle for such a low cost. Don't forget Remington still has a $40 mail in rebate going on. I bought 4 of them a while back and got $160 back. I've been using them as cheap rifles to learn some light gunsmithing on. Threaded the barrel myself; went perfect and have a brake on it now. Also did my first custom bolt knob on one and learned to bed an action. I put it into a Boyd's Pro Varmint. I barely got $400 into the whole dang rifle. A while back I posted some pics of my target with 178gr Amax's put through one hole at 100 yards. Just for fun I loaded up a few softpoint Hornady 110gr loads for the 30-06 and it still shot pretty dang great even with those super light bullets. Those guys are traveling almost 3,500fps. I haven't had a chance to shoot any varmints with them yet, but the results on water filled milk jugs is pretty spectacular. I have a few ideas for rifle #2. Because they have the barrel nut and we can change the barrels ourselves, part of me wants to get a barrel for it in 26 Nosler. And just change the barrels when they wear out like the tires on my car. [/QUOTE]
