huntinguide Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Well i just purchased a Rem 700 police tactical in 300 win mag, cant wait to get it in and see how it shoots. HS stock that is pillar bedded and floated 26 in bull barrel, and i think it has the X trigger. After shooting my buddies 6.8 i loved it but the 6.8 just didnt do it for me on ballistics. Anyone else shoot this gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I know some government acronym guys that do, but they mostly shoot it in .308. Find a load it likes, and you will likely be pretty impressed with the little bug-hole groups the rifle is capable of. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 My cousin has one in .308. I think he has a 6.5-20x S&B on it. Nice enough rifle and shoots O.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bear_Down Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 With a 26'" barrel it will more than likely shoot best with a 180 grain unless hand loaded then a 200 grain with a faster burning powder like IMR7828. Nice cal. choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 That's basically the same gun as the Sendero. Try some 175gr Sierrra Match Kings seated just off the lands. My gun will dump them into bug holes at 100yds. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinguide Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 your right it is, but i believe that the sendero has a fluted barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Congrats on the new rifle, post some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 your right it is, but i believe that the sendero has a fluted barrel. you can get it either way.... after you adjust the trigger.....get a good scope.....find some ammo it likes. It should be a great shooting gun Between my dad and I we have about a dozen of the Remington 700 with the HS precision stock and bull barrels.(VS, LVS, Sendro) They are a blast to shoot:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinguide Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 ive already got a timney trigger from another 700 ill try that and see what itll do, also going too top it off with a bigol nikon monarch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 you can adjust the triggers on the 700s..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 your right it is, but i believe that the sendero has a fluted barrel. The first generation Sendero's weren't fluted. I believe the current ones are though.. The load data shown in my picture SHOULD NOT be used in your rifle unless you work up to that level and determine it to be safe. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Why change out a Remington trigger , they have great triggers and can be adjusted . Just be careful if you do it yourself , I know of about three occasions in which people did not do it exactly right and ended up with holes in places they did'nt intend.
