hangunnr Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 First off, don't tell Strut10 that I took one of the little guns out for some exercize this morning. Traded into this Rem 700VS in 308Win a couple weeks back. Topped it with a Ken Farrell base, Warne rings and a Leupold 6.5X20EFR scope. After a half dozen shots to get her centered up I shot for a group with some hand loads I'd thrown together. Seems this barrel likes the 175gr SMK's as much as my 300WM does. I do believe that group will shrink up a little more as I was shooting off of a bipod and a less than stable rear rest. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Great group, great rifle and a great caliber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Nice piece of shootin' there 'Gunnr. But doesn't your .300 Win Mag put 'em just a tad tighter in than that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinguide Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 what exactly is your base and ring set up i love it, did you just double up on the front.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 what exactly is your base and ring set up i love it, did you just double up on the front.............. The base is a Ken Farrell short action Remington 0-MOA. http://www.kenfarrell.com/REM-7S-1-0.html The rings are Warne Maxima 1" low matte. I had a couple sets of the rings here so I stuck an extra up front. It's likely not necessary but as long as I had an extra I figured it might as well ride the gun. This is a rock solid setup. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yep it sure does...... hangunnr Yep. Thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yep. Thought so. It'll be interesting to see if this 308 will be able to run with the Win Mag at extended ranges, accuracy wise. If nothing else with the EFR scope it'll be a killer short range hole puncher. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
