out of the box accuracy a rem 700 police

[bigdawg]

i just bought remington 700 police in 308 with a leupold mark 4 L/RT i had it bedded and comp.... put on it as well what kinda accuracy/ range can i expect from this setup with some practice.

 

[B]

Somewere between .25 MOA and 5 MOA.

Somewere between .25 MOA and 5 MOA.

Did you mean 5 MOA or .5 MOA? If you meant between .25 and .5 I would agree.

 

[B]

Depending on many factors he could very well be shooting 5 moa. His question was vague so I gave a vague answer.

 

[Ice-Pick]

Confusing part of the question for me was first.......... "out of the box" then he said "bedded"
Which one does he want the answer to ?

Factory guns are factory guns. Some shoot great, some do not. Expect 1-1.5 MOA and anything better will be a bonus. There is no difference between the manufacturing process for the bores in a 700P and the 700 SPS barrels.

 

[X-fan]

Somewere between .25 MOA and 5 MOA.

Not in my experience.
Some 1/4-1/2 inch groups at 100 yards, but this does not mean it is a 1/4 MOA rifle.

The best performance I have ever got is a little over 3/4 MOA.
1 MOA or slightly larger (at distance) is a realistic expectation.

I'm with the "about an inch" @ 100M group. I suspect that not many "out of the box" variety rifles shoot consistent groups under 3/4" on real paper. Interet groups tend to be somewhat tighter! If factory produced firearms costing under $1200.00 were shooting under 1/2 MOA...the market for "custom" builds would be very small.

 

[Shooter ----/]

There is absolutely no way of answering this question.

Go out and shoot it. Let us know how it works.

 

[bigdawg]

well sorry for being vague i went shooting today and my groups were pretty tight at 200m i think i calced it around .6 MOA(with the help of someone dialingin my scope for me) but also i'm way better using irons this scope is gonna take some getting used

 

[mightyhunter]

I like to see that target.

 

[Dogleg]

Mine shot almost exactly MOA with many loads right from the beginning. Things didn't improve until I changed the barrel. There's lighter and cheaper ways to shoot MOA.
Your luck is bound to be better, but unfortunately luck has a great deal to do with it.

I have be pretty lucky with my 700p and for this reason no match barrel before i have burn this factory barrel. Mine shoot this kind of group when i do my parts and im sure thats rifle out shoot me !

However, she dont like the factory bullets and i reccomended you to load if you dit not.
My OAL is 2.976 to be in the riffling with a 155gr Lapua, so this is long ...

But like Obtunded have say, we never know with a factory barrel.

Nice groups.

Does anyone know the twist rate on a factory SPS .308 barrel? Also what bullet weight would you recommend for said barrel?

Sorry to derail this thread, but it may be relevant to the topic...

 

[Winchester 1886]

I had 4-5 700P in .308 and they all shoot .5MOA with reloads at 200 yrds.
Took some reloading development as any other rifle,even custom barrel.
Still shoot one I will never sell

1:12

You can shoot virtually ANYTHING with a 1:12. It is not the weight of a bullet that determines its twist requirements, it is its LENGTH. Do some homework on the 155-156 grain Palma bullets. These have fantastic BC and weigh considerably less, meaning you get high velocity and exceptional long-range accuracy. 1:12 will even stabilize the 208-210 grain match bullets out there.

Ian, what's the maximum weight you'd shoot in a 1:13 twist? The jump in BC between the 155 and the 208 Amax is significant:
155 average G7: .212
208 average G7: .324

Nice groups, but 1/2 inch bug holes at 100yds do not equal a .5 MOA rifle at distance.
Not even close.

Try stretching out the range...You may indeed get lucky!
