I bought a Remington 700 SPS tactical in 308 back in 2011 and it is one of the most accurate rifles I own. I hand load 168 A Max with 4895 and it consistently shoots 1/4-1/2 inch groups depending on me. I ended up putting it in a magpul hunter stock and timney trigger. Love that rifle. I just had it threaded and put a banish 30 suppressor on it.

I’ve got a 338 Win. I love it. BUT,…. My dads 25-06 for antelope is my GO TO. My last antelope was taken at 640 meters. OMG I cannot wish for a better rifle. Good Sir,….. maaaaaybe that 25-06 needs to be replaced with a,….. 25-06. LOL.
Nice! I have an old Model 700 and about 15 years ago I started to trick it out. All that's left as original is the barrel (sporter) and the bolt/receiver. It was a fun project that took me about 5 years to complete. Not nearly as nice as yours, but with my handloads that sucker always shoots less than 1" and if I have a really good day it's around .5". I love that rifle, it was a fun project and I'm glad to see you took one to the next level. Very cool. My favorite thing to do with my rifle is take it the range and throw a bunch of clay pigeons out on the 620 yard berm and see how many in a row I can break.
So glad to see the 30hate back on the screen. I have three and I love them all. Not all sub .5" but one is for now and I have another in the works. Thanks for at least bringing out something that wasn't a 6.5. Keep the vids coming. Thanks, TK
I love this so much. I used to own a 700 SPS AAC-SD and my end goal was to get it set up just like this. Unfortunately I fell on hard times towards the end of college and wound up having to sell it to make rent.
I shot USMC rifle / pistol competition. The pressure was insane. An E4 told me go shoot black powder until you learn how to shoot again. I didn't get that at first, but he was telling me to get back to the basics. I was shooting a Getz swamped barrel, rifled .62 caliber flintlock. I sucked for about 2 months , then it hit me. I could take your head off out to 400yds, and it was fun again. Sometimes you just have to quit following industry trends and learn to shoot.
I would love to hear what you learned by going back to basics. I am in a bad position to start target shooting. I have a new unfired 700 SPS 24". I haven't shot since about 1990 at which time was a Savage lever action 99F .358. Not much at 75 y/o I can do that I enjoyed. I have no sight in my right eye, just told I have macular degeneration in sighted eye with an unknown time before I have to give this up. I think you may have given me a chance to buy some time to rearrange my bones yet. 😉 I was told the same quote 2 weeks ago and never would have understood the meaning without you. TY!
Yeah, just having barrel from the rifle doesn't count, like they do most of the time Sometimes I'm wondering if it's worth the extra expense to get a rifle instead of assembling one from scratch, considering that's what is going to happen
I've got an old 700bdl in 30/06 and it would shoot 150 grain Remington core lok bullets in exactly one inch group at 100 yards. This is not good enough for me so I saved 100 brass and then reloaded that fireformed brass with the bullet seated thirty thousands off of the lands and the groups went down to single jagged hole at 100 yards everytime I did my part right. I always let them barrels cool off for 15 minutes between shots to let them barrels retract from the heat and get a true reading from a cold bore. This is the hardest part of accuracy testing, but it gives me all the confidence in the world when I am hunting.
I would love to do that, in 308, but man I have nowhere I could go and spend the afternoon enjoying the process. Nowhere to shoot. I will just have to enjoy watching you guys get it perfect.
I keep forgetting that atmospherics matter, scoffed at the idea that .308 falls apart after 800. Way up here in the north, I shoot it to 1000 for high-power rifle matches without issue, but our air is a *lot* less dense
@@miamislice3280those are two very different things. Altitude, and temperature. High altitude will be less dense. High temperature will be less dense. The opposite are true as well. I assume your gunpowder is very sensistive to variations in temperature.
Good to see you back on the range and behind the rifle Chad. Tell you what, as someone from tropical Australia, I can relate when it comes to that visible edible humidity haha
Effective range: around 1,000 yards in theirs Length: M40A1: 1,117 mm (43.97 in); M40A3: 1,124 mm (44.25 in) Muzzle velocity: 777 m/s (2,550 ft/s) (w/175 gr. M118LR) Cartridge: 7.62×51mm NATO Feed system: 5-round integral box magazine (M40, M40A1, M40A3); 10-round removable box magazine (M40A5) Pretty good little rifle
I’ve had 700s that were consistent 5/8 guns. Also I’ve had 700s that shot patterns instead of groups with no rhyme or reason. Usually a barrel swap and they are pretty good. I understand that’s a big expense, but I consider barrels wear items.
I gotta 700 in 6.5 creed thats been under 1 moa in all stages of its life. Factory bull barrel with the cheap plastic stock was and factory loads was .930 moa. Changed the stock,timney trigger, bedded and floated its now under .5 moa. Only problem was the athlon talos i had crosshairs started turning ito the right. Swaped on my backup Bushnell 4-18x50 ive had for 20 years back to normal lol
I have a 700 AAC-SD 308. Still has factory action and barrel. I put it in Manners T5A stock and replaced the trigger with a Huber Concepts 2 stage 2.5 lb trigger. This rifle shoots great with Berger 185 grain bullets, the juggernaut, or the hunting VLD. Shoots them both equally great. Consistently hit 12" gongs at 1200 Meters. The Huber trigger is incredible, try one, you won't regret it.
Love the videos of just precision shooting. Being that you're shooting a remington 700 chambered in .308, something I've been building and shooting lately doesn't hurt. Keep popping these out.
Great shooting! One thing I've found is match chambers will give you better velocity as well. One gunsmith told me that some of the factory reamers are so sloppy that you can get up to 250fps more velocity with a match reamer and good equipment (lathe) setup.
I mean, you basically swapped out EVERY COMPONENT on that Remington 700... I bet if you take all the original parts that you took off, you'd have enough parts to build.... A REMINGTON 700
They are also the starting platform for the M40 used by USMC. I love the Remington Model 700's such a historic icon, I would love to get my hands on one I don't have a bolt-action and everyone should have at least one.
I don't understand why you guys don't put a pop-up tent to keep the sun rays off of the ammo and the gun chassis to try to keep a little bit cooler set up a mild fan to blow on you to keep the gun cool and the ammunition cool.
I bought a Savage 30-06 for $180 that reaches out to 500 quite well. I'm sure it could go further, but I wouldn't ever try to take a deer that far anyway.
Had a Rem 700 VSSF in 308 since late 90's. Somewhere 2010 about fitted a MDT stock HS3. With a SL5 fitted it gave 1/4MOA easily. But 26" barrel. About 4 weeks ago got the Sako 85 Varmint 308 23.75" barrel. And out of box just with scope and Bipod fitted shot first day under 0.5MOA. Ive now Bump sized and loaded specifically for it. And Im now around to 1/4MOA. What always is amazing is how people say 308 should stay under 500 yards. Yet Bisley shooters shoot open sights to 1000 yards for years with 308.
I have a Remington 700 SPS with a 26" barrel shooting sub half moa with 150 grain federal 308. I also have some heavier otm and fmjbt rounds that are almost as accurate.The only thing I changed from the factory was the stock and added an archangel stock. Badger ordnance 30 moa rail with a Nikon P308 scope. I played with a timney trigger but like the factory trigger better. I do like your setup too.
I went down the same road with an SPS varmint. Only one lug contacted so I put a Remage barrel on it, gen1 KRG Xray, and some other goodies. $2500 in to it and I have a 3/4moa gun that weighs 13lbs. I now have a Sig Cross in 6.5 that only costed $1500 and is also 3/4moa while weighing 8lbs. I regret that entire R700 rifle except that it was a learning experience.
Wow.. i have a r-700 magpul series in 308 that i took to a long range shooting course. I swapped the trigger for a trigger tech and put a MC3 stock on it and the scope was a USO ST-10 and i was shooting 175 grn factory federal ammo And was banging 10” steel at 1325 yards at 95degrees and 5020 ft altitude. It was a brand new gun and was getting 10” groups till i went to the class and as soon as i started running ammo through it the groups got smaller and smaller.
Not hate mail, but 308 is capable for over a kilometre, and prior to the new 6 mils and other little whippers, 308 was and is still a favourite amongst many long distance shooters, as it’s easy to find a good bullet that reaches way past a kilometre! Just saying! Love the videos! Cheers
I’m a hunter,but love seeing how for it will hit. I’m shootings a 284 now. I have several 3081 A.R. armor light with a heavy barrel shoot out the five .and I love my old rem . 260
I really appreciate the amount of detailed info you’ve put into this production. Mad Props! Particularly timely as I’ve been thinking about updating my vintage 700 pss. She still runs sub-MOA even after nearly 3500 rounds. However, the tech has improved so much that I can’t help thinking what else is possible. Time will tell.
You almost always have to do a little work on Remington 700's it's a project gun depending on the configuration you buy it in. I use a Wyatt outdoors magazine conversion on mine it replaces the bottom metal with a CNC aluminum bottom metal that uses a single stack steel mag that's very reliable.
Great Video guys! Lots of great information, I have a custom built 308 and finally retired so I am able to start playing shooting reloading etc. I do have a 700P Remington I was thinking re-chambering in a 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't have the range for it around me here in East Texas. I am not sure what I am going to do yet we will see what life brings. I do know one thing it's just to hot here to do any afternoon shooting. Thanks again for the videos.
This makes me ALMOST regret getting rid of my Remington 700...almost. Currently building out an LR308 using a CMMG MK3 lower and a Uintah Precision bolt-action upper. Looking into a custom 26-inch or higher carbon fiber barrel. Might have to get one made if I can find someone to make me a 30-inch.
Hi...we have seen him shoot thousands of times...great too. Would be nice to make HIM small and the targets LARGE. We all get excited seeing the HITs. Just a thought for video production. His form is very consistent but we know how those targets move. Close up on the targets please....maybe a longer lens?
I bought the fully bedded hogue stock and im selling the pillar bedded. For a reason. I love the look of the ghillie green stock and I don't want to be tempted to go any farther with the build lol. I bought a grizzly gunworks muzzle brake and a magpul bipod is next. That's all folks. Now I'm worried my action isn't true to barrel and won't sleep tonight though.
The Trigger tech triggers use a roller bearing which is smoothest travel than any trigger I’ve ever felt. I believe the Elftmann also has roller bearings which they call hammer needle bearings.
What is never mentioned is wether the rifle gained any accuracy from “truing it up”? I have heard others say that it is not as important as some think it is. 30hate ? Two of my best rifles are in 308.
Always been a fan of the 700. Picked up a 700 5r years ago that I've slowly worked up. She shoots sub MOA all day with Winchester Super X. If I really do my part she drives tacks. I'd really like a suppressor. Being in Chinada really sucks!
Sometimes the custom rifles are worth it. I have a couple, my PRS competition rifle is a Lone Peak Fuzion action in a Foundation Centurion stock, Triggertech Diamond, and Rock Creek barrel in 6mm BRA. It's insanely accurate and prints 0.3 MOA group after group, but getting it to cycle took tweaking the mags. Also, reloading (6mm BRA isn't available commercially) wasn't super straight forward like other cartridges and had it's learning curve. That said, I can do headshots on 66% IPSC at 600 yards off of barricades from standing and kneeling positions. It's unbelievable sometimes when smacking 2 or 3 inch targets at 400 yards repeatedly. Precision rifles have come a long way
I picked up a Ruger American tactical in 308 with a 16inch barrel. Has been a great rifle so far. Waiting for my Omega 36m tax stamp to come back to throw that on It. Can't wait!
I also have a Ruger American, but mines an 18” barrel… dropped it in a magpul hunter stock, put a primary arms 3-18 FFP scope on it, and a Rex Silentium MG7 .30 cal suppressor . It’s an awesome deer rifle… shoots 1 moa or better with Ally Munitioms ammo or other match grade ammo
@@kaceyweaver8073 Lol basically same set up I have . The tactical version came with the Magpul stock so that was a plus. I have the primary arms Orion on mine. Great optic.
I have the same gun that I sent to Short Action Customs to be trued and a 20" kreiger barrel in a MTD chassis and I was continuously at a 10" plate at 950 with 175 smk hand loaded but wind was non existent and even at a 1k just another 50 yards seemed like it fell off the earth lol I believe my elevation was somewhere around 17.25 moa up from my 100 yard 0

Wow.. i have a r-700 magpul series in 308 that i took to a long range shooting course. I swapped the trigger for a trigger tech and put a MC3 stock on it and the scope was a USO ST-10 and i was shooting 175 grn factory federal ammo
And was banging 10” steel at 1325 yards at 95degrees and 5020 ft altitude. It was a brand new gun and was getting 10” groups till i went to the class and as soon as i started running ammo through it the groups got smaller and smaller.
With 90° weather and almost 85% humidity we use a pop-up tent to keep our guns cool and our ammunition cool.

As you've said, at Least Once before . . .
That HUD really takes that rifle up a couple levels.
Not hate mail, but 308 is capable for over a kilometre, and prior to the new 6 mils and other little whippers, 308 was and is still a favourite amongst many long distance shooters, as it’s easy to find a good bullet that reaches way past a kilometre! Just saying! Love the videos! Cheers
I’m a hunter,but love seeing how for it will hit. I’m shootings a 284 now. I have several 3081 A.R. armor light with a heavy barrel shoot out the five .and I love my old rem . 260
Give me the good stuff. You never fail to deliver.
Damn that was a cool video to watch! Excellent shooting Chad! Great stuff gents, again, super fun/cool video to watch. Keep it comin.
I really appreciate the amount of detailed info you’ve put into this production. Mad Props!
Particularly timely as I’ve been thinking about updating my vintage 700 pss. She still runs sub-MOA even after nearly 3500 rounds. However, the tech has improved so much that I can’t help thinking what else is possible. Time will tell.
Tech has progressed so much that we have auto loaders now! 👍😎👍
You almost always have to do a little work on Remington 700's it's a project gun depending on the configuration you buy it in. I use a Wyatt outdoors magazine conversion on mine it replaces the bottom metal with a CNC aluminum bottom metal that uses a single stack steel mag that's very reliable.
Chad is back with a gorgeous mullet. ❤
Glad to see you back Chad! Great video today guys!!

Great Video guys! Lots of great information, I have a custom built 308 and finally retired so I am able to start playing shooting reloading etc. I do have a 700P Remington I was thinking re-chambering in a 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't have the range for it around me here in East Texas. I am not sure what I am going to do yet we will see what life brings. I do know one thing it's just to hot here to do any afternoon shooting. Thanks again for the videos.
This makes me ALMOST regret getting rid of my Remington 700...almost. Currently building out an LR308 using a CMMG MK3 lower and a Uintah Precision bolt-action upper. Looking into a custom 26-inch or higher carbon fiber barrel. Might have to get one made if I can find someone to make me a 30-inch.
Who the hell told you 308 falls apart past 800 yards????
Considering there is a guy in Australia just posted a 3000 ish yard shot with one. This clearly is crap ammo on the sub 1k yard issue.
Now we need Eric to update that Rhineland arms 45acp build that got me hooked on the channel.
Looks like fun fellas.
Hi...we have seen him shoot thousands of times...great too. Would be nice to make HIM small and the targets LARGE. We all get excited seeing the HITs. Just a thought for video production. His form is very consistent but we know how those targets move. Close up on the targets please....maybe a longer lens?
I bought the fully bedded hogue stock and im selling the pillar bedded. For a reason. I love the look of the ghillie green stock and
I don't want to be tempted to go any farther with the build lol. I bought a grizzly gunworks muzzle brake and a magpul bipod is next. That's all folks. Now I'm worried my action isn't true to barrel and won't sleep tonight though.
This is a great visual of time of flight to target... Zippy!! Nice shooting guys!
no need to get chad to hurry up, he provides great info that we are all curious about.
Right, I am back after a few years and chad looks like Eric :D
The Trigger tech triggers use a roller bearing which is smoothest travel than any trigger I’ve ever felt. I believe the Elftmann also has roller bearings which they call hammer needle bearings.
i use 169g and 175g sierra match kings in .308 with a bergara HMR B14. I hit 1000 yards all day long with it.
Remington 700. Good for just about anything👍
Didn't a us sniper a conformd hit with a 308 w at about 1200 yards? Nice gun😊👍🏻👍🏻
Check hrfunks trip to bangsteel in va and see how many he gets at 1200 with his old duty rig
You guys are living the Dream ....
What is never mentioned is wether the rifle gained any accuracy from “truing it up”? I have heard others say that it is not as important as some think it is. 30hate ? Two of my best rifles are in 308.
Eric and chad are the same person at this point. They talk the same, act the same, look the same... its pretty cute.
Dudes. those groups are chefs kiss
Thanks guys..
The Rem. 700 is like a Harley Davidson.
Buying one is just a starter kit.
Everyone modifies their 700s just like they do Harleys !
Chad's back!
Always been a fan of the 700. Picked up a 700 5r years ago that I've slowly worked up. She shoots sub MOA all day with Winchester Super X. If I really do my part she drives tacks. I'd really like a suppressor. Being in Chinada really sucks!
Sometimes the custom rifles are worth it. I have a couple, my PRS competition rifle is a Lone Peak Fuzion action in a Foundation Centurion stock, Triggertech Diamond, and Rock Creek barrel in 6mm BRA. It's insanely accurate and prints 0.3 MOA group after group, but getting it to cycle took tweaking the mags. Also, reloading (6mm BRA isn't available commercially) wasn't super straight forward like other cartridges and had it's learning curve. That said, I can do headshots on 66% IPSC at 600 yards off of barricades from standing and kneeling positions. It's unbelievable sometimes when smacking 2 or 3 inch targets at 400 yards repeatedly. Precision rifles have come a long way
I got one that chamber in 6.5x47l same stock trigger in a Curtis axiom action and can smack a 4in target at 840 yards shot after shot
my god the power of those rounds smacking that steel at 300yards
Good to see you two shooting again not the same without Chad
I love the paint job.
700's in .308 were kings at one time, they're not dead yet but the future is written .....
Great video, good to see you two back shooting firearms, like old times! Cheers.
I picked up a Ruger American tactical in 308 with a 16inch barrel. Has been a great rifle so far. Waiting for my Omega 36m tax stamp to come back to throw that on It. Can't wait!
I also have a Ruger American, but mines an 18” barrel… dropped it in a magpul hunter stock, put a primary arms 3-18 FFP scope on it, and a Rex Silentium MG7 .30 cal suppressor . It’s an awesome deer rifle… shoots 1 moa or better with Ally Munitioms ammo or other match grade ammo
@@kaceyweaver8073 Lol basically same set up I have . The tactical version came with the Magpul stock so that was a plus. I have the primary arms Orion on mine. Great optic.
@@PDevoLi right on man! Mines the Apollo
3006 I have glass beaded trigger job and muzzle brake and some good glass since the 80s. I've taken many animals with it .165 or 168 it's deadly
Very informative and entertaining video. Thank you
So, one of the biggest takeaways is machine the action to the barrel properly. Everthing else is secondary.
ODG Gang! I'm with you Chad 🤘
I have the same gun that I sent to Short Action Customs to be trued and a 20" kreiger barrel in a MTD chassis and I was continuously at a 10" plate at 950 with 175 smk hand loaded but wind was non existent and even at a 1k just another 50 yards seemed like it fell off the earth lol I believe my elevation was somewhere around 17.25 moa up from my 100 yard 0
Sounds like you found where your bullet is hitting the subsonic transition.
