Well, I put 50 rounds downrange. Would it make me less of a man to put a brake on this thing?
Here's the best group, 3 shots off of a bipod, 190 grain Custom Competition, 73.5 grains of RL-22, 3.340 OAL.
If I glass bed the receiver now, would I be able to remove it when it comes time for a...
If I get within 100 fps of your velocities this will be a sweet rig. I'll have my wife send it off a month before I come back, which is still awhile away. So long as congress and the "commander-in-chief" don't cancel this trip this will be a go for sure.

The Governor's office is still tallying emails for and against the gun bills that have been passed, in order to inform Governor Hickenlooper of public opinion on whether they should be signed into law or not. Let him know that they should not!

3,000 isn't bad but it isn't great. A little more in depth reading it appears that barrel life is on par with .223/5.56mm. So I can safely assume excellent accuracy until about 3,000-6,000 rounds with warm loads and up to 10,000 with low-mild loads.
Looks like I'll be sending it off to the...
Charlie the only reason I'm on the fence is I don't want to lose the capability as a varmint/defense gun instead of just a varmint gun. With the velocity and energy at distance it looks capable, I'm just unsure about bullet performance. What were your speeds with the 40 grain bullets? Another...
It came in today and boy is it an awesome stock.
Here's the rifle. Remington 700 XCRII .300 Win Mag topped with a vortex viper 6.5-20x44. The stock is a McMillan HTG, adjustable cheek piece, adjustable length of pull, flush cup mounts and a bipod stud.
The VX-R should be a high quality piece of gear, with the duplex you should easily be able to pick up targets during the day. The VX-R goes down to 1.5X, and I, personally, would like it more if it went down to a true 1x on the low end. If you don't mind the 1.5X the go for the VX-R.
Talk about an antelope laser!
If the ALRs really do expand at velocities as low as 1300 fps, the effective range of this thing with the ALR would be just over 1400 yards, with 638 ft/lbs of energy and only 11.1 mils up with a 100 yard zero.
I ordered the machined in pillars, I wont bed it until I shoot out this barrel and get a sendero contour on it.
ldg397, I ordered it on 1 Nov 2012. Got the shipping notification on Monday. So about four and a half months to my door. I was contemplating getting another one and they said...
