Default Finished putting another rifle together :D 300WM

I traded a set of cyl heads for a Savage 110 7mag, ordered a 300wm barrel and put it on after i got it threaded for the muzzle brake (waiting on a suppressor )



Shrewd Brake



On the way home from work yesterday we stopped by the range to test some different loads and run them over the chrono..

Traded a nitrous kit for the scope

Millet LRS 6-25x56, 20MOA EGW Base, TPS 35mm Rings, Rifle Basix trigger, Factory Savage 112 300wm 26" Barrel, NSS Heavy duty recoil lug, Choate US stock.





300yds
Best group was 1.625" with a 210gr Berger, 71grs powder, Win LR, 2750fps.
Worst group was 2.5" with 72grs.






Got a 600yd match Saturday so i gotta hurry up and work on a load that will do 1.5" or less at 300.

My buddys Tikka T3 Tactical .308 with my Millett scope off my .22-250.





168gr SMK will do .5moa all day long at 100yds





Changed the powder charge and it didnt do so good, so went back to the first one.

It will do just fine for what im goin to use it for.
Several of the guys i shoot Fclass with use the stock with a little bedding on the recoil lug and they are the top score shooters so...

That Tikka .308 is sweet! looks like it sure could reach out and touch some one with that Millett scope. what does a rifle/scope like that run brand new?

I think he paid $850 for the rifle, and the scope runs about $300. plus rings and base.

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.
