Another nice setup... I gotta restock my 700 SPS-t, the factory stock on it is pretty much junk and the remington X-mark trigger is horseshit so that's gotta go too. I've been laid off too long to be putting money into my gear right now though. In the next couple weeks I should be starting at a new .gov job though, so I'll be all set then. I did however just pick up a new AK.... 
Anywho, those are some pretty decent groupings at 300. Mine aren't much better than that at 100, but I'm also trying to see how accurate milsurp **** can be for the time being.

I haven't tried adjusting mine or seeing if there's anything I could polish to smooth it out some, I just bought the rifle and put the scope on it... that reminds me, I need to put a real base on it, I'm running regular cheap-o rings to hold it on now. Anyway, after buying the Leupold Mk IV LRT I was a little buttsore and held off on buying more parts for the time being lol. When I do get around to spending more money it's getting a new trigger, when I pull this one it kinda reminds me of dragging a cinderblock across pavement with one finger.

HAHA, if its a Xmark, there is a set screw thats adjustable from underneath.
EGW Rail and Burris XTR rings are a nice budget friendly setup thats proven.

Got thru with working up the final load for this rifle...
Setting the bullet in the lands .001" further made a big difference.
1.5" group at 600yds.
Not to bad for all factory Savage parts
