You'll be just fine with that rifle. Just make certain you use the fundamentals.

O im not talking bout this weekend. I bought this rifle as a project gun. Just thought I would ask where most of y'all start modding.

The majority of the people out there cant shoot as good as the rifle. So the first thing is practice. My 308 has a 3# trigger from the factory and i havent touched it.
First thing is a decent scope thats repeatable and tracks true.
Second is your ammo, needs to be consistant.
And practice practice practice. 100yds doesnt show much, stretch it out to atleast 300yds and have fun.

What twist is your barrel?

1 in 12 twist. Yea I drolly do need to get a better scope first. Only range around here or home is 100 yards . Need to find something or somewhere I can go that is longer.

I know its a good trip but north of Mckinney TX they have a 750 I think. I have been itching to go as I have 3 new guns I need to fire at longer range. One is a DPS LR.308 that my Dad just had to buy LOL and the other 2 are Sakos and they shoot really well at 100 the .308 shoots under.5" at 100 and the 2 sakos are both under .25" at 100.

Optics play a huge part in anything you do over 200 yards. I have been shooting Nikon for years and I just recently got one of their Monarch X scopes on the DPS LR308 and absolutely love it...

the 22-250 Sako has a Nikon monarch 6-24-50 nikoplex SF that will be used for varmints.

the .270 Sako has a nikon monarch 4-16-50 BDC SF that I will be using for larger game.

Both the Sako triggers are at 2#s and love them the DPS needs a trigger job bad.. They are notorious for shitty trigger creep.

Yea that's a bit of a drive since I am working around baton rouge right now. What's the name of the range tho?

Perfect timing on this thread. Went to play at 300 last night to get a zero and it was my first time shooting with other f-class guys. It was a little bit humbling.

I'll be shooting a 3 day match this weekend so it should be interesting. Course of fire is:

Saturday
15 shots @300 yrds
15@600
15@500
15@900

Sunday
7@300
7@500
7@600
15@600
10@1000

Monday
15@900
15@900
15@1000

I'll try to snap some pictures this weekend. I'll be shooting a Rem700 thats been tuned a bit in 6.5x55 with a Nightforce BR 8-32x56. I just picked it up last year and finally got a load down for it a couple weeks ago.

Ive never heard of that before. Ive had real good luck with 1964 LC Match 173gr thru my rifle. Its pretty consistant for ammo that old.
Its hard to beat federal gold 175gr. I know a few guys that use it in matchs.
