Finally got my hands on a rifle that is MINE!

(I've had a Spikes AR15 on order for a few weeks now, but I finally own a rifle. A Remington 700 vs in .308

This is the blub that was on GunStar:
Remington .308 700 VS threaded. Heavy barrel, threaded 5/8 x 18 UNF, badger bolt knob and trigger set at 1 1/2lbs. HS precision stock with alu bedding block

Holy large pics batman!

Sorry about that.

Very good, what glass are you going to put on it?

This was a sudden purchase, I've not thought about glass just yet

Top man! Impulse purchases are always fun

You need a rail, rings, bipod and 'scope and with a bit of luck someone on the forum will have something to get you started, I have a spare Harris bipod you are welcome to borrow until you are sorted.

Thanks for the offer, though I have already sourced a Harris bipod.

I'm a babe in the woods when it comes to glass though. I know the big names, but that's about it.

It's like crossing the finish line in a really long race when you get your first firearm. Congratulations!

very nice, I hope your cabinet is big enough. They seem to multiply at an alarming rate :-))

Have a look at a Vortex Viper (from Riflecraft). I recently bought a 6.5-20 x 50.

But then, I'm of the opinion that you don't need to spend a kings ransom on glass if you're just punching paper.........

H/man

Interested on thoughts of the Remmy as I have one waiting for an AI stock and also the Vortex scope as this was my choice as it seemed good money for a lot of scope.
