My new .308

[Clayne B]

I just loaded 50 168gr A-max with 43gr varget. 15 thousands off the lands. well see how they shoot this weekend.

Looks alot longer then Remington 150gr elcheapo ammo

I think you'll be happy with the 168 A-max. Might want to give the 168 Berger Hybrid a go too. It has a very high BC.

Just for hits and giggles, load some up with 45.1 grains and take em to the range with you and try em out.

Well I did not like the small bolt knob on the rem 700. I got this idea from a guy on SnipersHide.

step 1

step 2

so it would not mess up how it closed

step 3 - 4 -5

mix, apply, shape, sand and paint

The bolt knob mod was a success. I really like how much easier it makes it to cycle

Went shooting today... I did not get any pictures of the 100 yard groups "DUR" But when i did my part it was right around 1/2 inch.

Here is a video shooting 500 yards. ( one of the guys swore. in case that bugs you don't watch it)

Changed a few things on the rifle, Put a 20x scope on it and a cheek riser. I like the way it works!

Went to a spot where I have got a few coyotes in the past. Looking for an opportunistic long range shot on one... after an hour. I decided it was time to go. So I to took a shot on a rock 669 yards away. First shot! man I love this gun!
