Great deal on a tactical rifle

[Ought Six]

Has anyone here purchased one of these?

too good to be true?

[PRC117F]

They have been running that deal for a long time.

[Ought Six]

Okay, my rifle is on order. I found they had some options available that were not listed on the webpage. Here is what I am getting:

- Remington 700 Police
- .30-06 26" J.R. Shaw custom barrel
- Tan ceramic coat finish
- Bell & Carlson Medalist Mk. II Tactical Stock /w black spiderweb over tan finish
- Bushnell Eltie 4200 3-12x44mm scope /w illuminated mildot reticle
- Versipod locking bipod with ski-type feet
- TacOps overside bolt handle
- Storm case /w foam cut to hold rifle
- 400 round case of HSM .30-06 match grade ammo loaded /w 208 grain Hornady A-Max bullet

The .30-06 is much more efficient at pushing large, heavy bullets due to its large case volume. This gives long-range performance approaching the .300 WinMag with recoil in the .308 class. The ammo I am getting launches that 208 grain bullet at 2700 fps. The bullet has a BC of .649! A ballistics calculator tells me the bullet will go subsonic out past 1000 yards. This rifle will be capable of some serious long-range performance.

Nice.

I've always been a big fan of .30-06 too, and when I was into hunting deer and elk, I used rifles in that caliber 95% of the time.
I currently have my eye on a used Remington 700 BDL in ought-six, for sale at a local pawn shop at an attractive price, which I'm tempted to get for fixing-up. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I've already bought two other guns this month, and should be saving money.

[Ought Six]

I know the feeling. I burned a significant portion of my annual bonus on that purchase.

You gonna have the Scope and Bipod refinished tan?

[gaijinsamurai]

Damn, that is nice, Ought-Six!!!!!

[Laconian]

Nice rifle. Have you shot it yet?

[California Joe]

Very nice rifle gun you got there pal.

[Ought Six]

Thanks! I will leave the scope and bolt handle black for now. I will put a Timoney trigger on it if I do not like the stock one.

I unfortunately did not have time to shoot it this weekend. I want to run through a proper barrel break-in procedure the first time I shoot it, which will hopefully be next weekend.

Mel at Sniper Central found he could only get me the ski-type feet I wanted for the bipod by ordering a kit with three types of feet; the standard round ones, the ski-type, and the triangular 'raptor' style shown in the closeup above. It cost more to get that kit than expected, but Mel refused to take any more money when I offered, and ate the extra cost. He said he is a stickler for holding to a quoted price. How is *that* for customer service?

[HK in AK]

Super sweet!!!! I really like it and that will be a great addition. The guys at Sniper Central are some of the best!

[kevlar308]

I am burning with jealousy, that rifle is effen sweet.

[HK in AK]

I wouldn't mind ordering one in 300 win mag. That would make a super nice package.

Ought Six, How do you like the scope? I have never looked at a Bushnell scope, how does it pull in light?

[Ought Six]

I have not been able to spend a lot of time with it yet, but the scope seems quite clear and bright. I would say that it compares favorably with Leupold 3.5-10x40 Mark 4 at first look. I really like the green illuminated mil-dot reticle on the Bushnell.

[Indiana Jones]

How is the trigger?

[Hollis]

Sexy Baby....... Very nice rifle. I think it is only fair to say, a range report is mandatory. :)


What does it like to eat?

[Ought Six]

I am still waiting for my cleaning gear to arrive. The Lucas bore guide will not be shipped out until 6 December. Since I have to do the barrel break-in procedure first, I cannot shoot it until I get the cleaning gear. I am going on vacation next week anyways, so I will have to suffer until then.

[Chulo]

damm.. 7 months wait on that rifle.,. so how much did you pay total?

[Ought Six]

With the 400 rounds of precision ammo, the case, and over 9% sales tax, about $3300.

[Volucris]

There is zero benefit to the shooter in a barrel break-in procedure. It's designed to make you wear out the barrel faster and increase profits to barrel makers over time.

Clean the bore of obtrusion with lightly oiled patch, lightly lube or grease the bolt a tad and then go out and shoot.
