I bought one in .308 last Friday night. Scoped it and broke in the barrel on Saturday. Got some load development to do but it shot great right out of the box. How can you beat a 26" heavy barreled Rem 700 for the price???
So far I love mine. Going to turn it into a tactical type rifle and play at long ranges.

It's either going to be an A5 or an M40A-1. It's a hard decidion.

I bought the same gun you just bought in 22-250 put a nikon 6 by 18 by 40 with side focus on it.Shot a lot of differnt loads thru it and the seria varmit bullets in 55grs with varget powder shot by far the best can put three in a dime at 100 yards.And the coyotes groundhogs and crows have yet to complain.
