    Ive got the same rifle

    Glad you like it, I've got the same rifle and am amazed how accurate it is, I've put five bullets in a one inch group at 240 yards. I use factory loaded hornady 55 gr v max and can't fault them. I think your bolt looks very nice...
    Regards Oli

    I've got one of these; ditched the hogue in favour of an HS precision full ally bedded stock, makes a difference. Also had the tactical bolt fitted.

    The trigger is quite versatile and I've adjusted mine to just under 2lbs, safe and cleanly reliable. I use N140 behind a 69gn SMK loaded to 2.29" for range work scored a 50.9 at 300yds with it, and the 65gr Gameking for bugg's 'n stuff.

    I've also had the bolt closing problem but assumed it was the brass so I FL sized it and it works fine...

    i dont know what it is in mills but i got the number of clicks it takes for me to shoot out to 500m with 69gn SMK, travelling around 2750FPS

    100M = ZERO
    200M =6 CLICKS OR 1.2 MOA
    300M = 20 CLICKS OR 5 MOA
    500 M 55 CLICKS 0R 1 FULL TURN OF THE TURRET PLUS 1.2 MOA, but im not sure how much MOA adjustment you have on your scope.

    hope that helps mate

    I bought one of these , an SPS stainless and to be honest i was not sure about the .223 flavour as my last gun was a pile of rubbish and put me off completely.....BUT i took the plunge and went for it and to be honest its the best thing i ever did. The gun is spot on and more accurate than you can imagine. The groups at 200 yards ( that's my zero) are out of this world. I love this gun!! I am going to learn how to reload now to try and make this set up even better which i doubt can be done

    I love this Remmi, its an amazing set up and did not cost the earth unlike the AR i had!

    LAity
    Lots and lots of guns !
