Or your 260.500 yards is nothing for a Creedmoor.
When you gonna bring it down again?

I really need to get down there soon. I’ll check the open days on the schedule tomorrow.Or your 260.

If you want a chance to shoot me (with non-lethal equipment) let me know. May have something for you in later July or August.I really need to get down there soon. I’ll check the open days on the schedule tomorrow.
Ha! I’d be up for that. Lemme know!If you want a chance to shoot me (with non-lethal equipment) let me know. May have something for you in later July or August.
Will do.Ha! I’d be up for that. Lemme know!
It might be. And it will happen in in a connex, so you don't need to bring your own. But if you want to volunteer a couple of vehicles that's cool. Small possibly of damage, just saying.Is this shaping up for a mini-meet?
Or a mini-meat? Have conex, will travel.
Don't take this personally but I've owned nine 700 platforms. All some level of customized. Most fully worked over actions. I still own one and it will eventually go away like the others. I think it's a garbage platform. By the time you are done straightening out everything remington did wrong you can easily buy a custom action in the lower ranges (stiller tac30 comes to mind readily but there are others that are just 700s build straight) with no waiting or shipping to smiths.I don't understand why I'm the only one to recommend a Remington 700 as an entry-level 500 yard rifle. For "entry-level" and cost-effective, the M24 platform is not a disappointment.

I've built my own and had others build them. The 700 is only good.due to aftermarket support and many custom actions share stock inlet and trigger compatibility with the 700 aftermarket parts. I won't even mess with a 700 made after 1975 or so for good friends. They are just too rough. Found crooked chambers, burred barrels, out of spec parts, etc. If I had every dollar I wasted on those rigs back right now, I'd have a LOT of sweet custom actions in the locker instead of just a few.
Again, this is not directed at you personally but I have a lot of frustration screwing around with that platform. At the time, there wasn't as much in custom actions readily available. If someone wants a 700 just because they want one I will refer them to two very good smiths who will do them right. When the rig comes back, there won't be much remington left in it. In factory rigs, I won't even buy a rifle off the rack that sako didn't make. No, I'm not rich. I am a working guy. But I'd rather eat ramen than shoot a rifle that frustrates me.
Some of them will shoot. A smith I'm friendly with up in PA loves 700s. He builds incredible shooters with them.No offense taken. I must have gotten lucky with my AAC-SD. I’ll keep what you said in mind if I ever buy another rifle.
Nice setup. What are the general specs of the scope you are using?
I have 2. One is a custom build. Trued 700 receiver barreled by ER Shaw in .260 Remington. Unlike 4g64loser, I can’t even come close to shooting at the rifle’s capabilities, so I’m very happy with it.I don't understand why I'm the only one to recommend a Remington 700 as an entry-level 500 yard rifle.

What’s your budget?This seems like a good deal.
Tikka UPR for the price of a CTR.
What’s your budget?
Nope..the issue is finding a range where she can show her real ability..time for a road trip I guess500 yards is nothing for a Creedmoor.
