New 308

Got a new rifle and jazzed it up a bit. Remington SPS 700 .308 varmint with a HS Revolution laminated thumbhole stock (has aluminum bedding), Zeiss Conquest 3x9x50, Leupold bases and rings. I would have liked to have a mil-dot scope with more magnification but I already had the Zeiss. Should shoot some pretty tight groups.

 

very nice gun. I had the same one, minus that nice stock. It shot great!

 

I used to put those stocks on my 10/22 whistle pig guns- I'd buy them rough cut and do all the final shaping and finishing. The only problem with them is the added weight.

 

if its a bench gun then the added weight is a plus

 

It would have been, but whistle pigging in the high desert outside of Boise is often a walking proposition with a .22.

 

nice. i use to be in idaho. we'd go whistle pig shootin every chance we got!

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks all. It will be doing a bit of bench and hunting. I have a Winchester Classic Featherweight in 30-06 for hunting where there will be a lot of hiking.
