So I recently decided to embark on the journey into the precision rifle shooting world. Using a lot of lurking in these forums and some recommendations from friends I settled upon what I have below. Specs and pics follow.

Remington 700 SPS tactical in .308
Bushnell Trophy Hunter 3-9 x 40 scope
Non-Harris Bi-pod that I got off of amazon for $30 (which I already had for my AR to help determine whether my rifle was bad or if I was just a crappy shot, turned out to be the latter).

For the record, I looked also at the 700 SPS AAC-SD. As cool as it is with the pre-threaded barrel, I don't see myself entering the suppressed world at any point in the near future, and if I do, it will most likely be for my AR or pistols, so I went with the regular one. However my interest in this sparked my recent post about muzzle brakes for .308 (if anyone has been keeping tabs on me).

All in all I am extremely happy with the rifle and the scope. The scope is simple to operate, and I figured at this point it wasn't worth dropping the extra dime on a high-end scope since I didn't even know what I wanted in a good scope. It does what I need it too and it seems to hold zero well as far as I can tell.

Same deal with the stock. I know that I don't like it, but I need to shoot it some more to determine what it is I want in a better aftermarket replacement, the availability of which was one of the factors into going with the Remington 700. I purchased a slew of different types of ammo all at once to see what it liked best, and so far it seems to like federal premium 168 grain sierra match-king. I have dived into reloading for it, but that is a separate post with separate problems...

Anyway, PICS!
