700 SPS tactical, Another Report. Sub MOA in the wind

[Iansstud]

Hey be careful!!! I went shooting my ar yesterday, and my sp-10 followed by my sps tactical...

I spaced the fact that I had a 7lb trigger on the 1st two guns, and a 2# on my sps.... I guess its a good thing I keep my finger OFF the trigger and safety ON until I am ready to shoot.

anyways, I was not expecting it. I took aim, flipped the safe off, put my finger on the trigger, applyed a little pressure (as I am used to) and Kaboom! I still hit the target in the 8 ring, but was sooner then thought...

Yea, for sure.. Lucky for me I am pretty used to light triggers since all guns but a couple have them.. But your right.. Pull a hard trigger for a while then switching must be like wearing Leg weights for a day then taking them off and feeling like you are walking on air

 

[Iansstud]

Im glad I follow safety rules, but I was NOT ready to send that shot!!! It was not seated in my shoulder right, and POW!!!

 

[Pat4x4]

Looks like you were not following safety rules Never put your finger on the trigger till you are ready to shoot

went and shot again today.. And man am I pleased with this rifle.. took it out to 200 yards today and finally shot with no real wind..

I shot 2 groups at 200 yards.. first was a 3 shot group less than a inch( was checking my zero after 100 yards).. and the second was a 5 shot group at 1.29"

It was prone again with a harris bipod, calm winds, Federal gold medal match 168's..

I have said it before but for the money this is just a awsome rifle..

I am thinking about picking one up in a couple weeks. will have to try to figure out what scope to get with it.

 

[Pat4x4]

Oh no, I bought a 10fcp today in 308 with the accustock

Now I will do a back to back and see who wins..

 

[adam500]

I will be interested to see let us know how they both shoot together!!

 

[Pat4x4]

I will.. Once It gets out of Ca gun jail I will do a good side by side on them.. I really am looking forward to seeing the differance the brake makes.. I know alot of folks say it really smoothes them out.. I know the 308 is not too bad to begin with but for the quick second shot it will hopefully make a differance.. Maybe my 12 year old will even want to shoot it

 

[Pat4x4]

Dry fired the the savage yesterday at gun jail... And the remington has a better trigger.. the accutrigger has a small amount of creep just like the one I allready have.. Dont get me wrong the Savage is still nice but I here people bashing the X-mark and I am trying to figure out why.. It is is the best trigger I have had.. Breaks so clean.. Will have more updates soon

I got my 700 sps today and cant wait to get out and try it out. does anyone have a good load so far for this rifle.

 

[Pat4x4]

yea, Redneck 40 has been doing some of his own loading and having really good luck.. search his posts.. you will love this rifle

 

[Redneck with a 40]

Hey Brian, the load I'm running is 42.5 grains of IMR 4064, Federal GMM case (gold metal match), Remington 9-1/2 primer, and a Sierra 168 gr SMK. This load produce a 1" 200 yard group last weekend. They are a little slow out of my rifle, at 2510 fps, but its very accurate, at least in my rifle.

 

[rundm]

mine is shooting 2-3in's at 300yds so far. I have an hs precision stock on mine though. I have used 168gr a maxs to load mine up with varget gmm primers and norma cases so far. at 100, I have a couple of 1/2in groups to show for it. RG

He did measure C-T-C - they way you do it is take the measurement you see there (1.29"), and subtract the bullet diameter (.308), to come up with 0.982 - he has .99 - close enough.

Great shootin and nice rifle!
