Earlier this week I bought a new stock for this gun. Should get here the end of the week. It is a Greyboe Renegade. Greyboe is a fairly new company. Somehow they are affiliated with McMillan and the Renegade uses the McMillan A5 stock shape. Should make a nice improvement over the SPS factory stock. I purchased the option that was already inletted for a detachable bottom metal. I've got a few options I am considering and should be making a purchase by the end of the week. Don't want to spend the money on a Badger Ordinance system for this gun but I want a good fit into the gun stock and for the magazines.I figured I should do the trigger swap while I was at it too. I've done some reading on the Jewell triggers and am a little concerned about keeping it clean. This gun won't be in the field a lot but it will get out on occasion and I don't want to need to be worried about cleaning it. I've read several reviews that the Jewell triggers need to be kept clean. I know there are several options for the Jewell triggers and am trying to sort out which one is the best option for my needs.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Very nice indeed. See if you can get the adjustable cheek rest that bolts through the stock. Makes a big difference in getting a consistent cheek weld and eye position on the scope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I was thinking I might just get one of those pads that strap to the stock instead. I think that would be enough.
If in the future I want to upgrade to the Jewel I know enough guys with stock Rem 700s that I am sure I could sell the Timney to get some cash back on it.
Did the Vortex go back?
I wish I new somebody close that knows how to shoot and could send a couple down range with a few different bullet options.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
If my work schedule would cooperate I'd help you out.
What is the pattern? Stringing up and down is generally breathing. Left right is slapping the trigger. If you don't have a depth gauge try getting one and handloading with .020 off the lands. Factory barrels are inherently long throated to eat any bullet shape and length safely. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
My work schedule is normally flexible. If a nice day comes up and you want to do some shooting let me know.
Yeah they blueprinted the action and put a bartlein barrel on it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Bear, find out your max OAL from bolt face to lands. What you find out will maybe give you answer to some of the accuracy issues. http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/Determining+COAL.htmlI would suggest method two in this article. But I would alter it slightly. In addition to a slight neck size I manually 'loosen' the neck slightly to avoid sticking the bullet in the lands too hard. It needs to be tight enough to hold it still and firmly enough to extract and measure, but loose enough so as not to get stuck. Depending on what you find, excessive jump, no jump you will be able to tailor your OAL.If it's excessive and mag is too short then you need to decide what to do. I've done this a few times with different bullets for my Anchutz .222.
Bear, I think I read a few posts back that you will be hunting with this setup. If so, I wouldn't try to over work things to bring 5 shot groups down to 3/4 inch or less. Setting the bullet right at the lands, and too light a trigger could be a problem for a hunting gun. Minute of deer or elk is a whole bunch larger than that, and if you need more than one or two shots chances are the last 3 won't matter anyway. For a hunting rifle, make sure the rifle is sitting in the stock properly and torqued in place. Work up a load using different bullets and powders, that fit the hunting needs that is. When out practicing, clean the barrel after around 15 shots at most. For my hunting rifles, after the action and stock fit well, the barrel not hitting the stock, and the trigger is smooth, I can work on reloads and get it shooting around an inch or so for 5 shots. Now if you plan on shooting against Tex, Bobby, Sam, or a couple others here, break out a few more bills cause it will get very spendy.
