Advice on Remington 700 modifications

Hi Stoopy. Have fun? I had a blast.

Yeah I had fun. What was your shooter number that day?

As to this on going argument, I think it would be better to spend the money on ammo and practicing positional stages than cutting down the barrel.

I was number 5. With John Lee only one to hit 100% on the mini hostages, came in 11th overall I think.

As for the barrel... it's fluted and the smiths don't want to cut down fluted barrel anyway, so it's shoot the barrel out uncompensated now. I think the only mods I'll be doing is dialing down the trigger or replacing it and either getting a DM or stock with included DM.

Planning to do the reloading class at Angeles and then buying the equipment. I was shooting great with fgmm's but then I bought some reloads and things went haywire.

If anyone on the thread wants to teach .308 reloading on their equipment, in the 818 or nearby please let me know. $50 and beer?

Many interesting data points here.
I read this and put a 30" barrel on my FN SPR.
- Maybe I should have picked 15" instead? At least I would not need to fold the backseat to get the gun in to the trunk

Going subsonic makes a world of difference and mussel velocity means nothing if not compared to the environmentals for where you shoot: Altitude, Temperature, etc.
Sac Valley DA usually run in the 0 - 200 range, except for hot summer days.
- My local range is usually over 4000, so none of my initial loads would work well at Sac.
Cutting my barrel would not have helped, but your mileage may vary.

CS Sports-

June 23 is another 1k match at sac valley. Come out so I can see how well that 18" .308 does.

Not mentioned yet but dont forget a good bolt cleaning and polishing on firing pin/striker bearing surfaces then a light oil.

If using the mag box a good tune up of follower and ramping of feed ramp at front of mag bow mating to receiver ramp. You could also lightly stone receiver feed ramps for smooth feeding.
