Since breaking in my new Remington 700 Police a couple weeks ago, I have been doing a new ritual to really test the accuracy on each range trip. I have taken a dime taped to a blank sheet of paper as a sacrifice to the accuracy gods. The first time I did this, right after the break-in, I ended up with a half moon dime, but on the last three trips, I have had 1-shot, 1-kill dime hits at 100 yards.

This trip was a little different, in that my sacrificial dime actually went right through the backstop, and into the dirt berm at the back of the range. Upon inspection of the paper target, I could tell that the now lost dime had been another perfect hit... If only I could find it. It vexed me enough this evening, that I decided to go back to the gun club after closing time to try to search for my poor dime, and the only evidence of a perfect accuracy run. After a bit of raking a digging, I finally found my long lost dime, to add to my Remington 700P perfection collection.

I present the latest evidence of 100-yard perfection:

Is this what we're reduced to basing accuracy claims on now?

A ONE shot group?


For those situations where three shots are asking too much.



I own a couple Remington bolt guns and untill they can figure out how to make an action that's not a machined out piece of pipe and a bolt that's not a bunch of soldered together pieces they're got gonna be my prime example of perfection in bolt action centerfires

for the police snipers these bad boys are designed for...I am not sure the bad guys they are shooting at will sit still long enough for you to attempt 3 shots...

I'm sorry Krochus. I'll have to remember to post supporting evidence in any accuracy thread, whether the evidence has been posted before or not.

0.263 MOA

Okay, are these all the first shot of the day? Consistantly taking out a dime on a cold bore first shot is sometime to crow about if you do it each time. :cool:

BTW, I spell perfection "M-a-u-s-e-r-9-8" :neener: but I will pick up my first Remington 700 in a few days and see if it can change my mind ;)

Remington 700

Saw something called "Remington Under Attack" a few weeks ago that went into great detail about this model and the fact that it occasionally, fires without having the trigger depressed. The US Armed forces have also verified that it is prone to doing this and some police sniper SWAT Teams have actually stopped using this model and shifted to different firearms due to this gun firing when it should not have fired. They also had a man from out west who lost his son because his mother was loading the gun into their horse carrier when it went off and killed their son. On this program they had some military snipers demonstrate how and what causes it to fire without even being close to the trigger. Do a goolge on this and contact Remington about it.
So although it is an incredibble accurate rifle be aware of this tendency and be extremely careful.

Well not sure if my comments are turning this into another one of those discussions but it is something that one should be aware of. In fact check out the thread I copied below for an interesting "POLL" in progress at THR.
Lets call it what it is, not more, not less. And if Remington is able to make a revision/correction that eliminates the possibility of it firing w/o having the trigger pulled, they should. They owe us, their faithful gun buying public a safe product. I think this is one heck of a tack driver. But I want mine to drive a tack when I tell it to do so by pulling the trigger.

What do you want Remington to do?
 
Those weren't military snipers, she was not loading the gun in to the trailer she was unloading it, CNBC has modified their "report" after being called out by Remington and if you read those other threads cover to cover you'll see the other side of things.

Great shooting gg, enjoy that new rifle.
 
Ok, Ya did good. Very good. Now carry it on out to a half mile. I have a similar set up, a Rem. 700 SPS bone stock except for I put it in a Bell and Carlson stock. (not real high end) Knocking the heck out of an IDPA target at 880 yards. You have a good thing going, now just keep streching it out. You will be suprised! I like to see this!!!
 
gglas,
Let me see if I can somehow be negative about your accomplishment.

The hole is not dead center in the dime.
You are just trying to show how much money you have. How dare you add 10 cents to cost of a range trip and throw it in our faces.
You need to do more shooting and less documentation on your target.
Putting periods between every letter is not spelling. I am not saying I know what it is, but I know it ain't spelling.
You will never get big muscles by shooting without using the trigger.

Yeah, that was way more fun than saying good job, glad to see you had fun doing that.
 
Very nice. That is what a lot of shooting is about, hitting the target on the first shot. Very nice indeed.

That's why he is still practicing. :D
 
isnt destroying currency illegal?

Thanks for looking out for a fellow shooter...

Here is how the law is defined with regard to defacing currency:

"IT'S LEGAL! U.S. Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331: Prohibits among other things, fraudulent alteration and mutilation of coins. This statute does not, however, prohibit the mutilation of coins if done without fraudulent intent if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently."

We have all seen the machines that turn your penny into a thin stamped logo for amusement parks, and we have all seen jewelry, money clips and belt buckles made from real coins. This is all possible because the law is written in such a way that it is only against the Law to deface US currency that is in circulation. It is not illegal to cut and enhance currency that has been removed from circulation. By changing a coin into a work of art, like my ballistic sculpture or jewelry, it is no longer "in circulation", and could never be used to conduct transactions.

The "one shot group" should be the gold standard. For hunters (and, I suppose, snipers) that first shot out of a cold, clean barrel is the only one that really matters. To me, the most meaningful measure of a rifle is the "running group", where the first shot of the day is fired into a special target which is then put away until the next range trip. After a dozen trips to the range that target tells the brutal truth.

The only downside is that all of those "MOA" rifles we brag about (because more often than not a three shot cluster will go under an inch) turn out to be 2.5 MOA rifles "in real life". But if your running groups speak of an MOA rifle, the confidence you get from it is immeasurable, and it looks like the OP may have one.

Now if I could just figure out the attraction of all those "sniper rifles" I see these days...
 
So when people put Where's George on a 1 dollar bill, its illegal?

If you are keeping that bill in circulation, then it is quite illegal. If on the other hand, you shellac it onto canvas and frame it, then it is not illegal.
