remington 700 SPS Tactical .223

[bunny-sniper]

Hi guys,

Im new to the forum so thought id say hello and do a little review of my Remy.

She is a 700 SPS Tactical, standard 20" varmint barrel, threaded with a 1~9 twist. Mounted on top is a Bushnell Elite 6500 Tactical 4.5-30x50 Mildot scope with 2 piece leupold bases and QD Leupold high rings.
Its the standard Hogue stock and on the back of it is a Rifle Craft Stock Pouch, its not in the pics below but is in the YouTube Video. At front of the stock is a Harris Bipod with notched legs.
The moderator is a BR T8.
On its way back to me now is my bolt fitted with a tactical bolt knob and new extractor. The extractor needed changing as it was the problem that my bolt wouldnt close easy, it needed a bit more than normal force to close it fully, doing some research i found out that the extractor was the common problem with the .223 bolts not closing smoothly. The bolt knob got changed cos i didnt like the standard one as it wasnt all that comfy when racking. Pics of this will follow.
I reload my own ammo for this rifle both target rounds and hunting rounds.
The target rounds consists of Lapua match cases, CCI primers, 22.5 gn Viht N135 powder, Sierra MatchKing 69gn BTHP with the OAL at 2.260 ( ive not done testing with OAL yet) this round will shoot 1 hole 5 shot groups at 100m off the bipod unrested at the back. The furthest ive shot with this rifle is 500m shooting 10 shots in a 4" group.
The Hunting round consists of Lapua Match cases, CCI primers, 24.7 gn Viht N135 powder, Nosler 55gn BT Varmint with OAL at 2.260 ( again ive not done testing with the OAL yet) this round will shoot clover leaf 5 shot groups at 100m off the bipod unrested at the back.
