Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD

what is your thoughts on this platform, for a .308 beginner, the last time I shot 500 yards was 1995 at Hawaii in a wind storm that was blowing the targets off the skids.

I don't have advice you're asking for but what are your plans? Im asking because I bought a FN 308 and it is my first bolt action/precision rifle. I thought I would get into shooting matches but Im too busy to do so. And its too much rifle for a beginner for me to handle. LOL That being said, I may put it on the chopping block.

I did the typical upgrades to mine: B&C m40 medalist stock, timney trigger, 20moa base and vortex scope. It shoots 3/4" at 100 yards with several loads. I've found that it performs better on cooler days, and I can inside of 1/2" pretty consistently. I shoot it regularly to 500y. Have made hits at 850-1050 on the few occasions I found myself at a range with that kind of distance. It didn't shoot the match grade factory stuff as well as I'd hoped but I did find a couple good nodes with 175 smk and 155g scenars. What it really likes is 150g Remington core lokt, to the degree of 0.3". Speaking from limited experience, it's a great gun.

I worked with the same rifle for my first bolt rifle. The first thing I did was replace the stock and the trigger. A picture of it can be seen here. http://www.bayoushooter.com/forums/...tures-thread&p=1391546&viewfull=1#post1391546

It's only been out to 500 yards. Haven't had a chance to take it out farther yet.

Almost everything thing was purchased from Interstate Guns/Sport Optics (including the rifle and scope).

Parts:
Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD
Bell & Carlson Medalist M40 Varmint/Tactical Stock
Timney 510 Trigger
Nightforce Scope Base 20MOA

I have one. it sits in it's stock hogue stock right now. It will hit a 6" plate at 100 yds with subs and a 6" plate at 300 yds with supersonic loads. I like it. It does the job. I initially got it because it was mis-priced at cabelas and super cheap. I would buy it again for normal prices.
