A few months ago I purchased a NIB Remington 700P 308. It came with a Badger 20moa base, Badger 30mm rings and Harris benchrest bipods.
As soon as I received it I immediately shipped it off to Kevin Cram, owner of Montour County Rifles, in order to get accurized, thread the barrel for a suppressor and install a custom Jewell trigger factory set at 8 oz. I highly recommend Kevin for any gunsmithing as his professionalism and reputation is above reproach.
After I received my rifle from Kevin, I topped it with a Nightforce NXS 8-32x56 w/NP-1 reticle.
I immediately set out to work up a load and I had some Nosler custom brass, 175 gr Sierra Match Kings, CCI Benchrest primers and Varget powder waiting on the bench.
It didn't take long to find a load the rifle liked.
The first group is a 3-shot group @ 100 yards and measured .143".
The second group is a 3-shot group @ 200 yards and measured .677".
Measurements are taken from outside to outside at widest point then minus bullet diameter.
The Jewell trigger is outstanding. Crisp and light. Couldn't be happier with this rig. I'll be pushing it out to 300 and 400 yards when I have time. Suppressor paperwork should be back from the ATF anyday now.
This will be my target/long range plinking rifle.
