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...
You can get a bottom metal and magazine for these as they are;
Talk to Gavin at Anglo Custom.

lovely rifle mate. is that just a single shot?
I just did a little test for bullet seating depth and got a consistant 2.300 with the 69 SMK and was gonna start loading at 2.290 and see how that goes for me.
I got a consistant 2.311 with the nosler 55gn BT but im unsure what depth to start these at.
cheers

does anyone have a rough idea of the bullet drop in mills over the effective range the .223's ur using?
by the way nice u tube vids.
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 !
A good review this, it gave me the extra encouragement needed to sell my Browning A-bolt and buy a Remy Tactical.
I bought mine second hand and it came fitted with a stock from a Remy Varmint, a Ken Farrell rail & custom bolt handle. I've also had my RFD gunsmith fit a Timney trigger which is lovely and smooth, set at just over 2.5lb pull weight. Yesterday was my first chance to get out and try it and so far I absolutley love it. The A-bolt was a nice little rifle but for whatever reason I just couldn't get on with it (despite it posting some decent groups) and the Remy feels so much better to shoot for me.
I know that it will likely prefer heavier ammo with the 1:9 twist but I already had 3 boxes of Hornady Superformance V-Max 53gr so wanted to give them a go first. I boresighted before I went out and was surprised to find it needed no adjustment whatsoever, which was a first for me! I always zero by shooting off front & rear bags (on the car bonnet) and this consisted of 3 shots at 50yds to get on target and a further 3 at 100yds to fine tune at 1.5" high. I then shot two 5-shot groups at that range of 1" & 0.75" respectively before going out to 200yds. I needed a single click up on the Zeiss to get on zero but then did a further two groups of 5 shots each which were just under 2". The second group had 4 shots within 1" but I pulled the last one... Doh!
The groups so far are nowt spectacular but remember this is 53gr factory ammo. I'll be trying something around the 60gr mark soon to see how that shoots and at some point will look to reload my own to really get the best out of the rifle. All in all though, I'm very happy with the Tactical for my fox shooting and should really have bought one of these in the first place.
