Rol_P's New Rem/Hart Rifle and factory loads

Roland visited me today to show me his "Rem-Hart" rifle. It is a rifle built by R.W. Hart and Sons of Mescopeck, PA. It was built on Roland's left handed Rem 700 action previously modified with a 3 position wing safety and Timney trigger.

He had previously shot some very good targets with Nosler Factory 180 gr. AB cartridges and Federal factory Premium 165 gr. Partition cartridges.

He asked if I wanted to shoot it. I said, "I want to see you shoot it and replicate those targets that you had previously shown me so that I know they were real".

Here is his first target with Nosler Trophy Grade 180 gr. AB.



Here is the one he shot today.



Here is his first target with Federal Premium 165 gr. Partition cartridges.



Here is the one he shot today. There are four shots. Two went through the upper left hole.



Now I have gun envy...

Great shooting! Looks like RW did a great job!

Oh, yeah, that'll do. Congratulations on a fine rifle that delivers the goods.

Man that's some fine accuracy with factory loads no less! I'd say you have to keep it forever!

Now I know that if I miss an animal it will not be fault of the rifle... Dan watched me struggle for groups before coached me and the good groups came together. We tweaked the scope a bit and shot at 200 yards. It revealed that I need lots of practice before the season. None of my hand loads came together like the Nosler Trophy Grade 180 Accubonds and Federal Premium 165 Grain Partitions.

Nice shooting!

And yes, there is some excellent factory ammo available anymore.
