    Over by the lake.
    I'm tellin ya, Phlyodog has to be like Chuck Norris' body guard or something. Every pic he puts up of his guns just makes me cower in the corner and contemplate upgrading my goodies.

    I bet the mans tooth brush is even tacticool and duracoated!

    Good looking rifles!

    I don't think I have any of the targets laying around now (I'll try looking) but when I was shooting matches I had several 5 bullseye targets with 3 shots in each bullseye measureing 5/8ths inches or less shot at 100 yards for a total of 15 shots on each target paper.

    10mm, when you care enough to send the very best.

    Who does the camo painting on any of these beauties? I would really be afraid to try something like that myself. About how much would it cost to have something like a Savage 110LE with a heavy barrel in an aftermarket sniper stock and a Gen III Springfield Armory 4-14 scope in woodland camo pattern?

    Whats the specs on the one you have now?

    It's a Remington 700 receiver, Schneider M40 contract barrel at 22", McMillan A5 stock, Badger M5 bottom metal, Seekins base and rings and a US Optics SN3 TPAL 3.2-17x MOA/MOA scope. It looks a little different now than in those pics, those were taken right after I painted it. I've installed a full length picatinny rail under the forearm to which I attach my Harris Bipod and clip the rifle into my DCLW tripod. I just had AJ Brown install a Badger EFR mount in the stock last week as well. This is what it looks like currently:

    Nice set up. Is that a "Work gun" or a hobby gun?

    I use it for both. Figured I'd save the taxpayers thousands of dollars and get a rifle set up exactly how I need it. Spending hours on end laying behind a rifle is challenging enough, doing it behind a rifle that isn't comfortable is worse.

    This is my baby. It is still a work in progress and I am having some problems with it extracting.

    Shown in the pic is Tim Humston, the owner of Supressed Armament Systems (SAS) Suppressors shooting it with one of his cans.

    It is a factory Remington 700 PSS action with McRee Tactical Stock and a SWFA Super Sniper 10x42 Scope. I will improve it as I can afford...

    A common response on this thread and other like threads is "how does it shoot"?

    I really don't care what a rifle looks like, I just want to know how it shoots.

    I think it should be mandatory to post a image of a 300, 500 and 600 yard paper target for each rifle image. Say 10 shots at each distance.

    Before the stock and current scope I managed to squeak out a dime sized group at 100 yards using Winchester 150gr soft points. (Ignore the stray shots, I was still sighting in!)

    Yard? :rolleyes: :laugh:
    Real snipers shoot from miles away. ;)

    You guys think you are cool shooting at 600 yard, I set my target 2 and a half miles away ... I never hit it ... I suck big time, but at least I suck at a man's game now. :):

    I shot this group with it at 500 yards right after I got it put together.

    I put these two rounds through a dime at 100 yards

    I hit this target at 1360 yards with it

    That looks like way too much fun.

    I could probably hit 1360 yards someday. But I'll need 2 cases of precision grade .308 and 3 days of perfect conditions - then maybe.

    I had a FN patrol bolt rifle.. I enjoyed it but hated the harsh recoil (no flash suppressor). I have been debating on whether or not to get another bolt action, or go the semi auto route like the lwrc repr, ar10,m1a, etc. But.... a sexy remi 700 just keeps popping up in my mind. I know opinions are like * well, you know the saying... Just not sure which route I want to go yet.
