Rem 700 AAC-SD hunting rifle?

[vladislav95]

I just got the Remington 700 aac-sd in 308 20 inch barrel and i wanted to know if anyone's used one as a hunting rifle right out of the box?

Besides the threaded barrel, i dont see how its much different than the other tens of thousands of Remington 700s used for deer hunting right out of the box...my sisters .243 Rem 700 has a 200% kill rate...first hunting trip she dropped 2 does in one shot...so yeah I think your good to go

If that is the only gun I owned I'd take it hunting. It is not the gun I'd buy for hunting. I'm sure it is a good rifle and very accurate. I used to own a very similar FN Patrol rifle with the 20" heavy barrel. It was very accurate, but at almost 10 lbs was never carried anywhere but to the range. I found I always carried my 6.5 lb Winchester or 5 lb Kimber. For 5 shots the FN was more accurate, but for 3 there was no difference. I don't plan on shooting more than 1-2 times, so I sold the FN.

I bet she shot one with another one right behind the first one. Penetrated the first one completely, and killed the second one....

In and out both necks, 100 grain Remington Core Lokt .243 out of an 18" youth Rem 700 ADL

It would be a bit heavy but will definitely work.
