Agreed, the monkey on the stick is always the weakest link.

SARC. Spec ops...Yes Im actually going to come to a game.... :shock:

Christ how far were you shooting? 30 yards?

I do like the wilderness belt though.

100 for zero. We normally shoot much farther. Why do you ask?  Do you shoot?

Went to the range today.  Weapons in attendance were M1A SAGE EBR, Remington 700 .308, Savage 110 .308, and Remington 700P .338LM. Verified zero, chronoed, and worked on some fundamentals. Fired .338LM for first time :twisted:

Reality can be a bitch sometimes. Just know that lfe is good after, once you catch up on all the debt you incur.

The glass is actually one of the better choices due to it having 100 MOA of available elevation, that, coupled with the +20 MOA base gives around 70 MOA from mechanical center on the scope. Most people think that a scope having a higher magnification is better only due to them being big.  The internal workings of most don't, however, allow for enough elevation. Now if you want to spend $3000+ on an optic that has a 35+mm tube, USO/SB, that is fine, but is it going to perform $2000+ dollars better than the Mark 4 on this rifle, I don't happen to think so.  Hiting an 18" plate at 1800 is quite doable as the rifle sits right now. My primary reason for wanting the McRee Precision chassis is weight. The HS is so light that this thing is going to kick like a f'ing mule.  

By the way do you have personal experience with making these kinds of shots? The group I shoot with is always looking for more folks.

very nice, do you plan on keeping the HS stock? or going to something like a McMillan or AICS? post what groupings you get when you go fire it, and you better set that up at +1000 yards!

very nice rifle

Probably a McRee Prcision. The goal is a mile.
