Finally got the HS and bipod installed. Can't wait to see what she'll do this weekend. Cloverleafs at 200 yards????? Lets hope!

Very nice! I like the color because its a great contrast to the black parts. If yours shoots anything like mine you should be able to place just about every shot in a varmint's eye @ 200yds! Let us know how it shoots and dont forget the pics!

ditto what 308isgreat, said

What sort of stock did you have on it before? If was the factory stock, I can pretty much guaranty that you'll be very pleased.

Doug,

It was the Hogue overmold. I'm like most everyone else - I didn't like it pinching off on the barrel. I don't think(?) it affected accuracy (it was shooting under .7" with ammo it liked) but it still bothered me. The new HS is rock-solid and I'm curious to see what kind of groups I can wring out now.

Man I'm telling you that your going to have some fun! If your saying you were shooting about 3/4" groups @ 100yds look for the groupings to shrink. I have shot about 1/3" groups @ 100yds and just under 3/4" groups @ 200yds. but I reload so my groups are tight. Big change in what you feel huh? You did the best thing you can do for this rifle and I wish I could watch you shoot. Have lotsa fun buddy!

what scope do you have mounted on that ?

and nice remodeling done on that 700

Winxp,

The scope is a Hawke Sidewinder 30 4-16x50. It has the illuminated mildot reticle. I wrote a little about it on my "New Guy" post awhile back.

The bolt just came back from AZ Precision with the new knob. Keith did a great job! The photos do not show how precise and centered the knob fits on the handle.

Ha Ha cool! I'm sending my bolt in at the end of the month and having the Phoenix tactical knob installed and have black Cerakote applied to the knob and bolt. Mighty fine work he does and yours is a perfect example. Thanks for sharing!

That looks really good! I bet it makes the bolt easier to work.

Ahhhh my bolt went out to AZ Precision last Thursday morning! Now all I have to do is wait for it to come back and I will post a full photo spread.....

Right on 308! I think you will be very pleased. The oversize knobs don't just look cool, but really give you a lot more leverage and grip.

I like Arizona......finally a state with the balls to stand up and do whats right. Lets see if California can do anything right.

Again the same question: Can you tell me the exact modell number of this stock or is it a take of from another rifle?

Is your question for me, or was is supposed to be posted under the"New Remmy 700 SPS Tac with HS Precision Stock" thread? The model of the tan HS Precision stock in this thread is a PSV 096.
It is not a take-off stock.

Hey Russ when you got your bolt back from AZ Precision who did they ship it through? I got word mine shipped back last Thursday. Just getting a little anxious!

Mine came back through UPS. I had it back on the second day after Keith shipped it.
