Now That I've Talked The Talk...(pics...friggin' finally)
Since I've been ranting for months about the Rem 700VS I've been shooting...stuff like the IBA Tune-Up (long, dull), and the latest drivel about target size (questionable relevance, dull), I think I better walk the walk;
Stock VS in .308 Win except for the IBA stuff,
U.S. Optics ST-10, Badger Ordnance base and rings. Some people refer to the cheek piece as ghetto...I call it field expedient , esp since most of the manufactured stuff is still to low (all the girls in undergrad were right...I DO have a small head!).
But it ain't about looks:
and
Used FGM .308 168gr 3 shot groups at 100yds, 38 degrees. winds 2-15 from 8:00. Once I settled down and started paying attention, the smallest group came in at .350". All groups were sub-MOA...with factory ammo. This represents a rifle low (3 shot) group. I'm convinced that both the target size and the adjustable objective on the USO scope were critical componants in this outcome.
Now if I can get out and test some handloads with these targets...
S.
These are the 100yd targets I was yaking about in an earlier post. If anyone is interested in using them, I can e-mail copies of the 100, 200, 300, and 400yd targets. What the heck, they're free targets...
