.308 is shooting pretty good!

[Clayne_b]

Went out and shot 1 five round group at 500 yards today. I am pretty happy with the results!

What he said ^

Thanks guys, it has been a learning experience. I hope to soon have a McRees Precision Chassis. and an after market trigger set to 6-8 oz to match my CZ 452 Scoute

 

[Shibby!]

Very nice. Good work! Congrats!

Future steps other than trigger or just working on repeatable results?

 

[Clayne_b]

Right now in factory stock it is NOT free floated. and the trigger feels VERY heavy after shooting my target .22 Goal is to have it be as comfortable to shoot as my .22 is.

 

[Shibby!]

Any info on build of the round or ammo used?

 

[Clayne_b]

168gr amax 15 thousands off the lands
43.5gr Varget Powder
Remington once fired brass, full length sized
Fed gold metal match primers

Awesome.

I think I'm going to start with 168gr as well. That provides a lot of good info for me to use!
(new to reloading.. and precision shooting for that matter)

well the varmint rem musta improved since i last bought one... got mine bout 10 years back and my 7600 would group better... got rid of that pos barrel and put a shillen S Match on it and never looked back

nice shooting

 

[Clayne_b]

Hope it helps Shibby

Im afraid it might change when I get my new stock, Being that it is NOT free floated right now. Do you guys think floating it will effect the accuracy? Silly question i know. but seriously, this rifle has shot better then i thought it could already...

 

[dastt]

if it aint broke why fix it?

 

[Clayne_b]

It sucks to shoot, I shoot mostly prone, and it seems as if i catch the top inch of the stock and it hurts to shoot...

A good Laugh..... Sks....

Really good shooting, I would not change a thing. NICE

 

[dimeN]

looks to be some kind of composite material...so it may not change with temp/humidity ( i'm thinkin it would be less bad than wood )
-i'd change the stock, it's already a nice shooter !!! may aswell make it comfortable

Typical factory rifle crap. Stock has too much drop for proper prone supported. I have the same problem with my Howa 1500 and its hogue stock. If I mount the pad to my shoulder properly, recoil is almost unnoticeable with .308. But then I have to bend my neck all to hell to get a proper sight picture thru my scope which destroys my focus as I fight the rifle. To get comfortable I'd have to mount the top of the recoil pad across my clavicle and get my ass kicked by the rifle until I develop a flinch. Its just a sporting stock with a fatter forend. I geuss theyre trying to cover as many bases as possible when designing these things.
