Remington SPS Tactical .308 Range Report

[FrontRangeSPS]

I was able to take my SPS Tactical .308 to the range today, AND I LOVE IT!

I got it sighted in and it is a great shooter! I shot 40 rounds of Remington 150 GR. Core-Lokt PSP because that's all I could find! Would have prefered to use Federal Gold Medal Match 168 GR. but you go with what you can get i guess.

I sighted it in at 50 yards then went to 100 yards and set the zero there. I was having a little bit of an issue at first with the bipod but was able to get it to stop moving around on the rubber stock finally. Just took some tightening and adjusting. I also need to adjust the trigger pull, seems heavy to me!

Here is my last 5 shot group! (I think with some better ammo I could tighten it up a lot more!)

After sighting it in I spent the rest of the day shooting at 3" metal plates on swivals at 100 yards, didn't miss one!

good deal.. what scope you using.. I just bought one and getting ready to do the same.. Also I need to get into reloading..

I'm sure it will do a lot better once broken in and using Fed GMM.

what size bulls eye is that?

Mine is printing 2" at 200 yards with 150 grain Remmy Core-Lokt's. I'm using a Nikon Pro-Staff 3-9x with a front fore-end rest. I'm very happy with 2" at 200 yards. I'll be handloading my ammo here very shortly, I can probably cut that to an inch at 200 yards.

how often will it do that? sometimes i get 3 in an inch at 300yd, sometimes im lucky to get 5 in an inch or two at 100yd

The bullseye is approx 1 3/4" diameter

I thought it was fairly good for the first time the rifle has been fired. Of course the more I shoot it the tighter that group will get!

My scope is a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 BDC, I like it so far!

This group was not shot using a rest but bipod instead.

Well, yesterday was my third shooting session with my rifle and every time, I've gotten between one inch and 1.5" at 100 yards. My first 200 yard shot was yesterday, 2" group. I'm not sure if it will do this everytime, but if I do my part, it should be close.

With my handloads, that I'll be firing in the near future, it ought to be damn accurate, .5 MOA is doable at 100 yards.
