Nice work! What calibers are the rifles (obviously, one's a 204)? I'm going to guess the stainless one is a Tikka and the blued one is a Remington SPS Varmint; am I close?

Welcome to the forums, and congratulations on a nice rifle, and the good shooting! I can't exactly answer your question about the turrets, but I believe the distance per click for a scope is measured at 100 yards, and should be multiplied by how many hundred yards away your target is. Therefore, wit...

Valar, I hope I didn't offend you what I said in my previous post. I haven't done as much shooting as you have, and I don't doubt you have a great deal of experience. Just so I don't leave a misunderstanding, in my previous post, the only thing I was taking exception to was how you flatly contradict...

A 1:12 twist barrel will not stabilize a 45 grain bullet well in a 204. No insult, but did you even read the post above yours?

Hello again, WaltherP99, after reading the article you mentioned I can see what you mean about the stock. However, unless I’m badly mistaken, I would expect to be able to tweak hand-loads to a state of reasonable accuracy; and if not, it’s not so expensive a gun that I would mind putti...

Hi all again, Thanks for the warm welcome. I picked up the link to this forum on another hunting forum, and enjoyed browsing so much I decided to join here. That way I can also pester ya’ll with questions! :D :D Just kidding. But seriously, I enjoy it here. As I feel you all are entitled to a...

Hello there guys, Does anyone have any experience with the Remington 700 SPS Varmint, in .204 Ruger? I like the fact that it has a 26”(I like this part because long means faster :D ) heavy barrel, with a synthetic stock that won’t get all scarred up; I particularly like the comparativel...
