New guy from Northern Calirado

[Z-Gunner]

Howdy y'all. Stuck it the great blue Northern front range of Colorado. I've started to up my shooting game; realized the greatest ammunition is knowledge, been lurking for sometime & figured I'd step out of the shadows.

I'm currently shooting a 700 in .308 allot. Just a factory 26" varmint barreled action in a magpul chassis with a 4x16 Nikon on top. Using this as my "affordable" training setup. Shoots about .75 moa with fgmm in 168, down to about .6 with hand loads. Just got lucky with this one, it just shoots. I'm in the process of reconsidering my "trainer" rig. I'm just getting used to the new chassis & not quite sold on it. Glass is okay, but know it's my biggest hindrance; thinking a nx8 in 4-32 might be in order.

Keep your powder dry & your holes small, Z

Welcome, just left south of you down in NM. Take a hard look at the Mark 5HD as well. I got the NX8 in 2x20. I like both give the nod to the leupold. You'll enjoy either.

I've had the chance to shoot thru a couple of mk5hd's & like them allot. I can get the nx8 from a buddy for a grand & plumb his new bathroom or free if I do the tile too. Trying to save up for a custom build & I enjoy high end remodels. Z

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you have a good plan. Your location description is right on, sadly.

A close friend of mine who passed away last summer had one of the Rem 700 in 308 and with his reloads he was shooting right around 1/2" at 10p yards. Factory stock.
