I like the idea of your setup and I love how it's all stored in the case, but you may want to flip that bipod around
I figured I'd take heat for that. I had it that way for boresighting on an odd bench and didn't have the Allen key to fix it when I took the pic.
My rem 783 now in an MDT LSS chassis, with a spectre ballistics aegis-30 brake. Waiting on the rail to mount my bipod because I discovered last night they are not m-lok compatible so you have to purchase the MDT rails.

I think I am pretty much done for now. I have a higher cheek riser 1.4" coming from gina since magpul only makes their risers to .75" and that is waaaay too low to have a proper cheek weld. I might look into putting a carbon wrapped barrel on it at some point just for weight savings, but she is just over 10lbs as pictured right now so not bad. Might do a paint job over the X-Mas break. The groups posted are probably my current accuracy capabilities and not really a reflection on the rifle. I have the load tuned very good but COAL doesnt fit in the polymer mags of course, so I ordered a bunch of steel ones from MDT since they had a great BF deal.

Hey there new member here! Just wanted to show off my Sako Trg-42 in .338 Lapua! Group shot measured 0.252” and was 100yrds on a bench resting on sandbags. Scope was a Leupold Mark 4

What size of groups have you shot with that baby! (Sorry for double posting I’m figuring out how form software works)
Just got started on my newest rifle, a Rem .308 Varmint. I'm trying for an M40a1-ish vibe. Waiting/looking for a stock, but am going to get out and see how it shoots as-is. I've never done much successful shooting beyond 3-400 yds but I've been wanting to hone my skills, figured this might be a fun way to do it. I know those ranges are kids play to some here, but I gotta start somewhere.
I impulse-bought the USO, now I need to learn how to use it!

Welcome to the club!
To sight in the easiest way as described in the USMC manual was set up a target at 25 yards. Make sure your elevation dial is set to 1 and your fine tune to 0 and your windage to 0. Set the rifle in a vise or have a friend handy. Shoot one round (and hopefully you've hit the paper). Aim the gun back to center and loosen the small set screws on the dials. Use the big Allen key to move the crosshairs from your point of aim to the point of impact. If done correctly you should put your next round through the same hole. At 25 yards you should of course be hitting high. I don't remember the exact amount you should be as I don't have the manual with me at the moment. Tighten the set screws down and you're good to go.
These scopes should be parallaxed to 300 yards. It might have been changed though so just be aware.
As long as you are using the 175gr Sierra Match King bullets and run them at 2600-2650 fps then the standard dope chart should work.
Marines aren't the smartest (my apologies to any Devil Dogs) so they made the scope as simple as possible.
