Re: Wild Goat Shooting New Zealand

That does look like some fun. Looks like good country for a cosine indicator. I ended up getting a NF but there is nothing wrong with IOR.

Re: Trigger pull

Varmint triggers all break at one pound. Deer rifles are set at two pounds. The first thing I do with a new Remmy trigger is ship it to Neil Jones C.P. Excellent trigger work.

Re: Rem 700 LV SF in 204

My 204 LVSF was a lemmon. I was getting 3-4 inch groups with all brands of factory ammo. I should mention I had installed a custom 1LB trigger too. Remmy took it back lapped the barrel and recrowned. It does shoot better but nothing to brag about. I just spoke with Clay Spencer who agreed to bluepri...

3 grove pac-nor

Considering replacing my current tube with a pac-nor. I see they only offer .204 in a three grove. Anyone shooting .204 pac-nor? feed back would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Wade

I'm debating on reloading for this rifle. For one, I already own several wildcats and its getting to be a drag fireforming and turning necks. I also understand that there isn't many powder options to reach Hornady velocities. Shooting a 22" barrel is probably going to handicap me also. I'm look...

UPS pulled into my drive today with a package from Big Green. Box was quickly opened and was a lilttle dissapointed with a letter and simple explanation, "barrel lapped, muzzle cowned." Leupy mounted and I was expecting the worse. I fired three rounds at 100 yards and achieved a 3/4 inch g...

That makes me feel much better ragin'. Tomorrow she gets shipped back to remmy. I have my fingers crossed. If not: $195.00 for a blueprint, $300 for new tube and $200 for chamber. I hope I don't need to use plan B.

I appreciate the input guy's. I'll continue shooting tomorrow to see if the bore improves. I expect a package from Midsouth to be on my step with four new boxes of ammo. I did notice the best, lack of a better word, groups came from the 32gn's. I thought the 40's would be the more accurate with the ...

I called Remmy and informed the call taker that I free floated the barrel. I asked him if they would still examine it and he said yes. (I brought the trigger back to spec.) As a new person here, I'm not going to bash Reminton, at least not yet. I've been reading this board and numerous other sites a...

I suspect I'll be screwing a Lilja into the action after it gets trued. I'm too honest to sell this rifle to a stranger. I would've been happy with a MOA shooter.

I'll keep you posted on Remingtons actions.

Range report, sick to my stomach

First post, I was hoping to brag about my new Rem 700 LVSF .204, not going to be the case. My rifle arrived 2/14/07 and I was impressed with the rifle. I wanted a light carry varmint rifle and considered a Kimber, Cooper, Tikka or even an ugly Savage as my dads is extremely accurate. I elected to go...
