Quick thanks to BA for this one.

 

Anyway, with all of the 700's people are buying, sps, tacticals, police ones, then after shooting wolfys in a 223.... just had to get one. fortunetely had a few firearms sold so was able to reinvest the money in this one. BA had a very lightly used one. took a while to figure out which model this was. as it turns out, this is the remington 700 varmint synthetic, very similar to the older 700 Police, difference being the stock.

 

Shot it before buying it, loved it, and then got the final approval thanks to 1911Fan.

 

Picked it up tonight, took it home and tore it down, and cleaned it.

Very easy to take apart, 2 allan screws.

Was pretty clean to begin with. rifling looks pristine after cleaning.... will have to have mr clean do it for me.

 

Put it back together, and voila...

Only one issue... the buttstock rubber is a bit torn.

Rifle came with a fairly ok Simmons Scope... 4-12x50, Model 8820, cant find much info on it. Pro 50 on it. Only thing is, it is 2 parallel lines for the reticle, has a regular adjustment for left right, and has a turret finger adjustable for elevation.

Good to see you picked it up last night. A torn rubber is a bad thing.

Very nice, I have an older Varmint and they are great rifles.

 

Enjoy it

i bet a little shoe goo will fix that rubber right up!

You need a 700 VTR in .308

It is good looking. But it is not as accurate as other 700s according to a number of reviews. Here is one

Well, 1911Fan is no stiff when it comes to 308's. He was going to use his at the skeet range becuase he couldn't hit a single clay with his SX3.

 

700 vtr is no slouch.

That SX3 is pretty.

Ugh, I've been debating getting a 700 forever now. Thank you, Maks, ahead of time if you make my wallet lighter in the next couple weeks.

blame the stache. (wolfy)

:clap: Good one Ray Ray!

 

At least I'm man enough to admit I was whooped by a ringer from North Jersey with his pump action.

I'll bring my .308 to Cherry Ridge for pizza and pistol day! Probably still won't hit a clay though!

 

LMFAO!

Maks - How much is the 700 vs?

They dont make the 700 VS model anymore.

I like this rifle - rifling was good, crown was good, bore was clean as a whistle and looked like only a couple hundred at most have been fired out of it.

As far as the buttpad - get a pachmayr decellerator or call Remington and order a Remmy supercell - it should screw right on and make it feel like it's kissing your shoulder.

 

Maks....When we going to shoot it at a real distance?

 

By the way people - I love spreading my .308 heavy barrel disease/addiction to you all!

:twisted: Mooh haa haa <------bad attempt at mad scientist laugh.

when are you taking me?

PK90 private joke from CJRPC shoot.

Um, okay, if you say so. Anyway, how far do you shoot YOUR 308s?

200+ killa!

Um, okay, if you say so. But that's you. 1911Fan has made 1 mile hits when he was in the Russian Army serving in Afganistan in 1981. He has a confirmed 128 kills plus multiple camels.

Huh?

Russian Army?

Camels?

Oh yeah, now I remember - that was in between babas and playing with my alphabet blocks. I was the best 2 year old sniper to date in '81.

Um, okay, if you say so. Anyway, how far do you shoot YOUR 308s?

 

300 yards is all I have access to at Central Jersey but if you know of a good 1000 yard range, let's plan a trip.

308's accurate to 1000 yards?

 

btw, don't you remember me calling you "one of the old guys" and when I met you, I found out you were 2 years older than me? Does that mean I'm old?

With the right finger on the trigger - .308's can do 1000 easy.

Yes - you are old.

What about a left finger? I'm a southpaw you know. And what is the bullet doing at 1000 yards? Any energy, what's the fps?
