Magpul hunter 700 chassis, Heavy barrel 1:10 twist, with a 51t AAC break/flash hider. KRG bolt knob and magpul mags in 5 and 10 rounds. It has a Primary Arms 4-14 ACSS HUD optic FFP which is very well priced. The trigger is factory.

I appreciate the normal guy reactions
Haha! I was proud of that shot.
Full 3 seconds delay after that shot at 1:57, crazy man. Great hit.
Man I love it.
Hell yes. These are super accurate weapons of great power. Get one, make the effort, take the time and learn how to use it effectively against ALL targets. Only my M14/M1A1 means more to me. Party on! Long range shooting is almost as much fun as a woman but costs so much less to maintain. Plus Isabela and Esmerelda will never betray me.
Got my first 30-6 Rem. 700 used for $300.00 , put the "Answer system" on it for $150.00 , and just camo- taped the stock. No brag 2-6 Luepold scope ... =2 white tails a year since 1977. Gotta luv it
I’ve got the 6.5 with the magpul stock. Shoots lights out! Love my Remington 700s all day
Man I agree
I remember the first time I hit 832yd.
I was over the freaking moon.
Rockcastle.
I got hooked.
Did it with my 700p ltr, a harris, SWFA 10x SS on seekins rings - Federal 175gr SMK.
I've since installed bottom metal, geissele trigger, and upgraded that harris, Triad riser.
I've since taken it to 1100.
For what it's worth my friend I share your pride. My best is hitting a moving target from 500 meters with the M1A1 shooting Federal 168 grain FMJs, nowhere near your best. I am jealous.
@@jorgejnoguera3510 well, since COVID, Rockcastle shooting center has since closed. I'm still on the hunt for a place around here that I can shoot long.
One day, man, you'll break 1k! It's such a high.
Yes you should, I got a custom R700 action .300blk from Black Collar Arms out of Austin Texas. Fitted with a Energetic Arms Vox S suppressor and a ATN Th0r 4 1.5-15x 640. It’s a 100yrd predator/hog gun and it’s beautiful. Small and deadly, it’s the future of the scout rifle/truck gun.
Great setup and video! Thank you for posting! I'm thinking about getting one soon and this set up is nice 👌 Amazing shots too!
This was awesome to watch, this gun is awesome.
Love the Remington Model 700 , 270 caliber.
I was also going to go 308 but undecided between it and 6.5crm. My gun dealer had a 6.5crm sort action Remington 700 Bull barrel in stock and I was like okay lets build this. Married the barrel to a Magpul Pro 700 stock, Vector Continental Scope and an Accu - Tac Aluminum Bipod. She weighs some I'll tell you that, but damn she shoots good!!!!
Remington 700 best rifle ever . Had 223" was amazing it was police sniper rifle and a 308" fluted stainless used all sort of ammo 1000yds no problem.. both had silencers . Cheap and cheerful.
Great video looking into adding this 700 into my collection not sure if I want a 300 or 308. Just got the Howa 1500 in 6.5 with the 4-16 but I definitely want something in the 40s or 50s for a scope.
Sounds like we’re kindred spirits. I did an LR build after doing the referb on my Remington 700 but both are in 308. I dropped a FFP Steiner 3 to 12 x 50 mm Military on my gasser and got remarkable results. It’s not a 1200 yard gun but still I’m able to pop steel out to about 900 yards. You can’t go wrong with a 308 though I’ve also considered the 6.5 as another upper build. I’m going to re-scope my Remy with an IOR Valdada
Day 0-mod for my Remintong Model 700 was the Magpul Hunter 700 stock and the Magpul Hunter 700 trigger-guard and magwell -- I tightened the rear screw too good to the mag wouldn't click in and could barely close the bolt, but half a turn back and it was smooth but audible spacing in the stock -- had to slightly tighten and be super-careful to not overtighten to find the middle-ground...
Yep!
Love my Rem 700. 300 win mag
I just looooove it when my beard gets hung up in the cheek riser😱
Just starting long range got an Ar in 6.5 creedmoor. Putting finishing touches on it, can't wait to shoot it. Going primary arms on my scope. Tight budget
This my gun !!! I love it too , i have that Magpul pro folding stock and Im just now getting load development into that 600 yd range. I definitely need better glass but the gun is great to me.
Dude that gun mount is awesome. I want one for my truck
awesome. can;t wait for the 12.5 inch version.
Yeah thats a perfect setup. I have 4 rem 700s set up in the magpul stock, 243, 6.5, 308 and 270 with vortex tactical fro all 1000 yard guns easily. Great video.
Will Ruger honor the warrenty? I was told Ruger bought Remington. That gun clerk also told me they stopped making .357 so I don't believe him.
I love my Rem 700 as well. I have one in 243 and I'm thinking of building another one in 6.5 Creedmoor.
great to see a normal guy doing this, seems now everyone is a freaking expert at everything!!!
I'm about to build one just like this but chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I'm putting the primary arms 6.5 creedmoor scope on it. I like your video bro and that's a sweet 308
Nice rifle/shooting and badass Jeep setup man 👍😎.
Thanks man 👊🏽🇺🇸
Camp Horno.
Range 300
500 meters out
no bipod
5.56
Legit setup man, looking into the market for a bolt action and the Remington 700 caught my eye
Not without an extra $1,000 in gunsmith refitting, I'm not. Bolt problems, QC problems, accuracy problems, bore dimensional problems (run a plug on the bore, you'll see your own problems). One of the best moves I ever did was 'give up the bolt' for a semi-auto, and the best choice I ever made there was running away from Remington (who hasn't made a good .308 since their Model 7400) and went over to Springfield's M1A. You live, you waste money, you learn...growing old is about 'optimizing from past mistakes'...
i got a 700 vtr .308 with over 2500 rounds thru it still rings bells all day at 400 yrds
I love all my 700s
I live and hunt in Alaska...the only 2 big game rifles I hunt with are Remington 700s...a .270 from the 1970s and a 300 H & H from the 1990s.
Just managed to find a 2005 R700 SPS in .30-06. Grabbed it up when I saw the serial number. I stand by my words, the R700 is the AR15 of the PRS world.
1:30, nice job.
Awesome video thanks a lot. Greetings from la, CaLifornia
Thanks!
Awesome video! Based on price, I've been eyeing the Ruger Predator in 6.5. Especially since they are making the Magpul stock for them.
Corey Tesar thanks man, I just finished my 6.5 just need an optic
Bought a predator in 6.5 creedmoor can't go wrong for the price very accurate right out of the box.
Primary Arms has great stuff for the money. I hit 1000 yards with my CMMG 6.5 creedmoor (18" barrel) with the same primary arms scope (for 6.5).
Agreed man
My own tastes would be a 26" barrel
With no suppressor. VELOCITY is King when shooting distance, my opinion, I 💚Remington.
Yours is very similar and different from mine, I have a rem 700P 308 with a 24” heavy barrel, vortex hst 4-16x50, with atlas bipods. I haven’t taken it passed 200, but I want to see how it does at 1000.
Nice rig👍
I have a rem 700 vls in 308 win
This rifle shot so bad that after i went to the shooting range a couple of times i was so pissed of with it that i put it in the safe for almost 3 years. I then decided to give it a nother go, after full length glass bedding and a trigger job it stil shot for shat and just as i was about to throw it in the dustbin a friend said i must try torqing the action /bottom metal bolts and miraculously a 3 inch group turned into a half inch group. This rifle is know my favoured hunting rifle . Only complaint i had after it started to group is the shatty x mark pro trigger but i have replaced it i like it even more ,at 500 m i can shoot a 3 and a half inch group (on my good days) and that is more than good enough for me as i dont really take shots at animals at that range anyway. This is my 3rd model 700 and if i must buy another one it will also be a mod 700, exept if i win the lottery, then i might just buy a new mauser 98 in 7x 57.
That setup is doesn't need changing. You already know I have issues with Remington from my previous post. With that said, Your setup is perfect for a field rifle.
Bad ass weapon man.
Thanks man I really have enjoyed it these last few years.
I have a carbon copy except no can, I just came home with some new glass for mine. Mine was the sps tactical but not the threaded aac
love the comedy relief. woah beard city.
I'm relatively new and looking at trying to build up a Remington 700 5r In 6.5. I've heard mixed reviews on Remington as a whole but I haven't heard much about the milspec 5r series as it's advertised to be higher quality than other Remington products. Also looking at a Tikka T3 build but would prefer a Remington as it's more accessible and I know more about them.
Go with Tikka. I am done with Remington. My Gen 2 is currently in getting a new Cerakote on it. Coming off the receiver after first day on the range. The two before this one had chambering issues, gunsmith had to smooth both out and the one that did eject shells left casing heavily scratched. Don't even get me started on their triggers, as switching them out is a given.
Totally dig it, still have a 308 I'm working on but want to get into 6.5Creed also!🇺🇸 👍🏼🤦🏻♂️🤔😂
EXV 619 I feel you man! I’m in the same boat. 👊🏽🇺🇸
I like the shorter barrel
I like how you mentioned the kids during voice-over. As a dad, you know.
That, and avoiding the BS is always a good call! 😂
Edit: PS, change your air filter if ya havent 😁
@ 2:33 cool mount ! 🤘🏼
Ive owned 2 new production 700 models and they both came with rust or corrosion that needed to be sanded off the finish. Bought them because they were on sale and i wanted a project.
Nice 👍 got to get one
Ok so.....my rant on Remington(anything Remington..700, 770..any of them)....the comment down below that referenced the trigger area and accidental discharge, you are absolutely right. Accidental discharge CAN and DOES happen with this brand. I myself had a 770 300 win mag. Key word HAD. Early one morning, put my optics on a doe, turned the safety off and......BANG!!!! 300 win mag firing a round with no warning!!! Same process for me every time. Put optic on target, move selector to fire and squeeze the round off. Same process every time.... no variation. Finger was no where near the trigger, I don’t snug the rifle on my shoulder until the safety is disengaged. Needless to say, eight stitches where the scope thumped me. Called Remington, they knew it was a problem, even had a department set up to handle that complaint. Needless to say, after NO HELP from Remington, I trashed the 770 and bought a Browning A Bolt .308. Of your Remington has grooves in the trigger from top to bottom(Walker Trigger), be very careful. For more info, just google Walker Trigger System or Remington and see for yourself. Needless to say I’m done with Remington. Stay safe.
I bought the Remington adl , switch it to MDT chassis , rifle brand new 200 dollars from gander , 500 dollars for the complete MDT LSS gen 2 in Black Friday and a v4 zeiss scope for 800 , 1000 yards no problem 😊
Send it
I love my SPS Tac, but i did put some money down on the new SIG Cross in 277 whenever that comes in lol
Niiiice
Great gun.
Love it
Mike, thanks for the informative video. I notice that you have an extension on your scope to prevent glare. Can you tell me what that product is please? I plan to buy the scope you feature on your rifle for my entry into the precision shooting world. Thanks for the video!
It’s a primary arms sunshade
Good shooting brother
The remington 700 sps tactitcal 👌🏽
i am impressed
Honestly. Seeing ppl do 1000yrds like they can do it in their sleep gets a little bothersome some days. I'm trying to work my way out too that but it's nice to see someone as happy as I would be to hit even the 800 mark. As a diff guy I talked to put it... I shoot enough to be good but not enough to be Great.
Dope vid
Thank you.
I have a Remington 700 5R in .308 that consistently shoots 1/4 in. groups with match ammo and the only thing I did to the rifle was drop in a triggertech special trigger.
I happened to run into two military guys shooting a Rem 700 308, range 416 yds. They invited me to shoot it, three rounds. I did and the 3 shots were in 3/4". I was in Korea in 1952, for a clue as to my "old white guy status!" Col Townsend Whelin was quoted, "only accurate rifles are interesting!" Footnote: It takes a good shot, a good rifle and good ammo!
Subscribed solely because you're part if the tribe.
Thank you for your support!
It’s great rifle shot them in the military and as tactical cop very good rifle.. but my all time favorite is the MK 11 fast follow up shots And still long range accuracy 👊🏻
mk 11? i cant find a sniper under that name. whats the full name?
@@Cheaps928 knight MK 11its company out of Florida. Makes weapons for military. I have a video I did on it month ago
Picked up a new sendero sf2 264wm in December 2019 shot about a 3" group with two different brand factory ammo and over 200rds trying to load for it. Traded it for a savage 6.5 prc and shoots under a half inch with hornady ammo. Go figure. I'm done with remingtion thats not the first time iv head trouble with them.
Savage dominates remington in the realm of factory rifles nowadays.
Never had a bad savage everyone I own is a tack driver .223 and .300 win mag is latest to my collection I love them!
Look at the 7mm Rem SA Ultra Mag! Blows the doors off of 6.5 ammo!
I have the same gun. I re-barreled it with turned down shilen blank to 6.5 Creedmoor.
The model name you were thinking of is sps tactical
Nice rifle 👍🏻
Hey man, not sure if you’re still responding to comments on this video or not, but the scope on Amazon looks shorter than the one pictured in the video. Will it come that long or is there an additional extension that can be added?
Just purchased my first model 700. If it shoots half as good as yours I'll be happy. Did you keep the stock/xmark pro trigger? Great video/shooting/Jeep.
It will. I still have the hogue stock and run the trigger. I appreciate it man.
The most common firearm to show up for repairs after deer and elk season. Unless they’ve changed production the bolt handles could easily be ripped off. Silver solder is all that held them on
They also had a faulty trigger that would fire while on safe and kill people.
I don’t have a modern one , mine is an ADL from the early 80s and it’s very high quality . I was going to look into new ones also but I guess I should
Consider to buy the older ones 🤷🏻♂️
In the 90’s I worked for a gunsmith in Arizona and all Remington ADL and BDL production rifles had silver soldered bolt handles. We would set them up in a jig and tig weld them. Most often the rifles we got in were from reaction to buck fever and remember accounts of hunters saying they literally pulled them right off.
Should this happen to me I will simply MIG weld the handle myself. Problem solved. Rifles are machines, I am not intimidated by a simple machine. Repair as necessary. Party on!
Hey man. What company is the hat you are wearing from in the later part of the video?
beautiful set up, too bad for me that iam going blind and can't shoot that distance
What barrel is that specifically? Is it a Barreled action? I'm wanting to do something very similar but having trouble ensuring I have a proper fitting barrel and action to go with that chassis.
I have 2 Rem 700's.30-06 and .300 WinMag, both with B&C stocks which have been glassed and the barrels floated. Both are superbly accurate weapons and are capable of 1/2 MOA with my handloads. The triggers on both have been set at 2 lbs by my gunsmith My best 3 rnd grp at 100m with my .30-06 was 0.26" ctc, Both are over 20 years old and have NEVER ONCE fired without the trigger being squeezed. People who complain about the trigger on the 700 have fucked with it in one way or another or have had it adjusted by someone who had no idea wtf they were doing.
I agree, never had a Remington 700 go off on its own, and I own a bunch of em.
@@nolanrandolph4574 I think that this has a lot more to do with "Kitchen Table Gunsmithing" or just plain careless and reckless handling than and lack of proper firearm maintenance than any kind of default in the factory trigger.
@@scottmurphy650 couldn't agree with you more.
@@nolanrandolph4574 Unless you are a well trained gunsmith, intimately familiar with your type of firearm, then you have no business taking it apart and modifying it. I replaced the "GI" milspec trigger in my AR15A2 with a Hyperfire competition trigger but it was totally drop in and required no gunsmithing or modification whatsoever. When I wanted the trigger pull lightened on my 1911, I took it to a gunsmith I had known for over 20 years and who had always done the highest quality work for me. When it comes to weapon maintenance, no weapon of mine; rifle, pistol or shotgun, does not get cleaned and lubricated the very day it is fired. No exceptions. I spent 24 years of my life in the Army Infantry and did 3 combat tours in Iraq in situations where my weapons had to perform flawlessly 100% of the time, my life depended on it.. My weapons are SPOTLESS. Not everyone has to be as anal retentive about the cleanliness of their weapons as I am, but I have no patience whatsoever for assholes who wait until their weapons begin to have problems before they clean them. People that stupid should not be permitted to own firearms because they are potentially dangerous to themselves and people on either side of them at the range or hunting blind. I usually hunt alone but when I do go hunting with someone they have just come to accept that I will ask them the last time they cleaned and lubricated their weapon. When it comes to my safety, I have no problems being an asshole.
@@scottmurphy650 I'm with you 100% there man. When firearms are involved, there is no place for error or idiocy. A minor mistake or a second long brain fart could get somebody killed. Every time I hear a story about a gun "accidently" going off and hurting or killing somebody, my first thought is that the gun wasn't pointed in a safe direction to start with.
I have the same rifle, stock, and silencer set up. Do you notice a dramatic change of impact when your shoot suppressed vs. un suppressed? Mine is also crazy accurate! Thanks man!
No change in impact for me.
Sweet rifle, I have one with 20” barrel. Nice shooting man.
Love everyone I have
I have a stock 6.5 with a 3.5-10x scope that I’m gonna be working on. Plan to put a triggertech trigger and one of these magpul stocks in odg
Good shooting man
🙏🏼
Every two year old should have one
Which stock SKU model did you buy? One of the threaded ones, to be able to add the suppressor?
Sweet
Hey just stumbled on your channel and subbed. Question for you. Did you glass bed your Magpul Hunter 700? I just added this to my 700 in 223.
Thanks man. I have not bedded this Hunter 700. How do you like yours?
@@Mike.A.Hernandez I like it. I need more range time with it. But overall is good
What sort of reliable groups does this build print at 100-200-300 yards?
Have they solved the trigger problem for sure??
Hey Mike, any idea what this rifle weighs with or without the can? I really dig the build. I've had this same 16.5 rifle sitting and waiting for me to do something with it for a long time.
12.7 lbs without and 13.7 lbs with
@@Mike.A.Hernandez Thanks man! It may be time to show this one a little attention. Appreciate it!
Reading a lot of negative comments on the Remington. I was looking at getting the 700 Magpul enhanced. Has anyone fired one and how is it, and have they addressed all the problems of older 700s?
is this a recommended rifle for for someone who has never held a firearm before
Budget build and an Atlas bipod. Hate to see his non-budget build!
I knooooow, one bipod to rule them all. Only need one bipod for all of them...just loving seeing people use nice stuff
Yes
Can you please give me the information on the rifle rack you have mounted on the back of your seat. Thanks
Condition zero dual gun mount
I purchased one of the last NY 700 I live in Australia I have spent $9k on my remmy
I'd rather have a Savage than a Remington. For starters they have better triggers and don't come with the quality control issues. But over both the Bergara is top notch.
Mine is a 20'' with that 5r rifling 1-10 twist
By your thread you didn't explain whether why i would want one?
What kind of scope mount do you recommend for this gun?
What rail and rings are you using?
The Remington 700 has been my choice for bolt rifles for many years but due to previous quality Remington has been producing, I am leaning toward the new Daniel Defense bolt or possibly the Sig cross in 6.5 if I get another bolt rifle.
Great choice i own remington 700 sps now i own daniel defense delt pro 5 as well as sig cross 6.6
@@edricexavier7333 - Mine are the first Sendaro's they introduced 25 years ago, prior to the fluted barrel models, think they are now called the varmit models, Bell Carlson stock with 26" barrel. I have the 25-06, 308 and 300 WM. With my hand loads, the 25-06 and 308 will still shoot a 5 shot ragged hole group at 100 yds. I liked the Remington 700 since my primary weapon in the military was a Rem 700 308. Sucks their quality is no longer there!
700 PSS LTR .308 yes, please.
