Platform of choice for distance in .308

[BPTactical]

Some nice distance rigs here- I'd put my Savage up but without a scope on it it would be like going to the peeler bar and the dancers are wearing bloomers.

And more M1A porn. Supermatch Springfield M1A built by Glen Nelson in 1995. Versa-pod bipod with Versa-pod sling swivel adaptor, Smith Enterprise scope mount, all GI parts except reciever, barrel (Douglas heavy match), and the heavy wood stock (bedded). In my opinion, worth every penny spent on this Last of the Steel Warriors.



The M1A is now my service rifle. And it shoots sub MOA groups. So yes... M1A's can be very accurate out of the box.

Southpaw right eye dominant? Or do you find optics mounting on the M1A's are just too damn high too? I have my M3 mounted about as low as I can and its up a bit too high for me.

Graves, Southpaw; getting the scope down / proper eye relief was an issue I resolved with mine. Originally I'd installed a Brookfield and A.R.M.S. #22 rings. After some trial and error I ended up with the A.R.M.S. #18 and MK4 rings. Removing the rear sight and using a Fulton cheek rest.... BTW, many of the NOS GI NM parts in my rifle, including the Fajen stock, were purchased from Glenn Nelson for my build....

The first pictures shows how high it originally was (about 2000):

Swapping Rings:



Sight-in target with new rings, (3) 3 shot groups @ 100 yrds. Counter clockwise from bottom, making adjustments between each group.

2 identical guns

I know that, but I guess I'm asking what makes something "matched"? Especially if they are different calibers, etc?

Just curious.

My bolt.... This is an old pic though, I've done a little work to it since like fluted bolt, etc.

Brohammed, do you have anything accurate or with a bolt to post in this thread or what?
Can I still purchase these tactical pants you bought since you were never in the military??

How about you step away from the keyboard and take a breath. Then chill out.

The JAE stock is unobtanium , they have been taking orders for 2 years and have yet to deliver anything but new delivery dates . A buddy of mine has had one on order since about a month after they released it at SHOT in 08 .

Here is my Remington 700 LTR


I'm partial to the 700 action since it has defiantly been proven to me several times over in the 'ghan. I just put the AICS on it which I personally prefer over the McMillan. The McMillan is a great stock but after a Brit sniper let me get behind his L118A1 I fell in love.

It has right now:
-SS 10x
-Badger rings and base
-AICS 2.0 FDE
-stock trigger
-stock 20" barrel
-Harris bipod

Some improvements I want are:
-U.S. Optics or NF
-Jewell trigger
-18" Rock creek barrel with Badger FTE
-Atlas V8 bipod with spigot mount
-Cerakote

Maybe one day I'll win big at Cripple Creek!

That's a great looking rifle. That's the chassis I'm going to build a rifle on some day in the not so distant future.

Thanks OgenRwot, only grievance I have is I can't get a good cheek weld with the cheek piece in its lowest setting. I have to switch out the medium Badger rings with medium high rings to get a proper check weld. It's a great stock IMHO too bad it's so expensive!

My preference is an early production Remington 700 PSS with the adjustable LOP H-S Precision stock and a Leupold Vari-X III Tactical scope. Once I get the bolt handle knob and Sako style extractor done, it'll be done.
