Thread: Remington 700LR S/S in 300 Winchester magnum

Great stuff!

thanks for sharing - great info for some one starting off wanting to improve their game. I like the simple stepwise approach. One suggestion from the first video - safety wise for young hunters viewing this - I'd recommend having the bolt open when waving the rifle around. Found myself ducking a few times

Very nice Doc especially watching HSS being used on a lathe.
Mitch is a good helpful man.

That can looks the biz, what does it weight?

Ha ha my mate rides FMX and plugs that jerky all the time

it looke like to me ( correct me if i am wrong here ) that cutting a new crown had the most improvement, the suppressor just made it nicer to shoot . . . good videos i will watch with much interest.

ditto the nice look can . . . that burr on the front not so much tho.

cheers R.

What model timney trigger is it?

Does it have top safety and bolt release on trigger?

Cheers

He's clearly in the wrong post code dressed like that.

Haha Ben, epic roasting about the outfit in the 1st vid, too cruel :-)

Um... na man just watch the clip again maybe.

I shoot groups re-crowned then walk forward fit the suppressor then shoot the next lot of groups.

it actually went down like this ...

Dude - "hey man I'm in welly what you up to?"

Doc - "cool dude I'm just about to go shooting ill pick you up in a tick..."

Dude - ..."ah its pretty cold and I don't have appropriate gear man.."

Doc - "Dude! the range is pretty much a golf course and you can just wear the liner from my old jacket - no ones gonna see you dude, stop being a pussy..."

cheers . . my mistake, thats what happens when i try to watch the vid while doing something else at the same time.

that is a fantastic improvement with the suppressor on . . is that what you would expect because its a Big kicker of a cartridge ?

I think suppressed rifles shoot well for a number of reasons -
actually I will probably stop and do a video summary before carrying on with the next lot of mods.

I was surprised to see how much difference the suppressor made, biggest improvement by far. The recrown looked like a small gain at best. I have moved to doing all load dev without suppressor or brakes to avoid excessive carbon build up and get down to 0.3 - 0.6 Moa in pretty much all cases, even with some light weight rigs (6 lbs bare rifle).
then fine tune final load with suppressor for poi. Have not noticed a big improvement in groupings l guess I must have developed a fair degree of recoil tolerance
