Range Report Remington 700 Tactical 300 Winchester

select-fire
Talk is cheap about how poorly Remington builds their rifles. Not the case with mine. Took it out, shot it , cleaned the barrel a few times and it is a tack driver. Cannot wait to try it out at long range. I took off the factory stock and swapped it out with my 25/06 Bell and Carlson with a magpull magwell. Gun weighs 11 pound with the bipod and recoil is very manageable . Will not use another softer recoil pad or muzzle brake. It just goes Boooom in a very loud way.

    I don't think that the quality of the newer model 700 rifles are an issue, maybe because of the cheaper stocks that they are using, and the reason that you swapped your's out. I think that the main reason of complaint was because of the wood to metal fit, and crooked barrels that came along with the Marlin line is what caused so much up roar, as well as the newer economy bolt action's. I recently bought a 700 varmint sps in 204 Ruger that shoots and functions well..

    What scope and base(s) are you using, 0 or 20 moa for your long range shooting??

    20 moa base and a Vortex Viper 6.5x 20.. set at 14x Mil dot. I expected way more recoil but not the case. I purchased some 195gr. eld match hornady off the seller and waiting to see how much better it will get. At 100 yd now it shoots hole in hole with factory federal hunting . Made a believer out of me on the 5R barrel.

    Glad you are pleased with your new rifle Select.

    Of all the sniper rifles Chris Kyle shot no wonder he liked the .300 Winchester Mag the best.

    Not to belittle your purchase, but I would have thought it would have been the Barrett .50 cal.

    Something to be said for being able to shoot through a cinder block wall, and create a pink mist, on the other side.

    I have a collection of cartridges. (From small to large.) In the larger, I have 7.62x54, .30-.06, .300 Win Mag, .50 cal, 20mm, 35mm, 40mm, 55mm, etc.

    The .300 Win Mag, is impressive.

    Actually he disliked the .50 Barrett.

    Never heard of any jamming issues with the Barrett .50 cal.

    (But) What do I know?

    I swapped stocks from the .300 it was a HS  Precision. Did not have the high cheek piece or cut out for the magpul magazine. The 25/06 will shoot fine with the other stock. I just have to push feed the magazine.

    It's not a description of the Barrett .50, Kyle's comments are directed at the SR-25:

    In his autobiography, Chris Kyle starts by describing the AR-style, semi-auto, black guns that he used, like the US Navy Mk-12 5.56 Rifle, and the SR-25 7.62 Rifle (aka Mk-11). Although those rifles served a purpose, Kyle wasn’t a huge fan of either. In fact, he talked about how the SR-25 had a bad reputation of jamming up in the field.

    Best.

    Thanks nononesense, that sounds a little more plausible. Never heard of any jamming issues with a Barrett .50, in any configuration.

    Just wondering, you said the 26-06 shot lights out.  The magazines work with either round so swaps should be simple.
