Nice groups 100-300yds
I finally got to a range that let me shoot at 300 yards. The rail, Tact rings (Brownells), and the Bushnell 6500 elite are a great combo for the Rem 700 SPS 20" barrel. At 100 yds my cold bore was 1" high right. I adjusted my dope 4 clicks down/left and hit the bullseye on the 2nd shot. I did a 5 round group and all were touching. At 300 yds I was hitting 4" plates by holding over with my mildots. So far the screws have not backed out. There were guys with much more expensive rifles right next to me and they were not getting anything better than 4" groups at 100 yards. When I got done, they stopped me and asked about my rig. It's hard to just review the rail because other factors really dictate how the rail helps with the groups. Bottom line. I'd order this rail 10X over.
fits great on my Rem 700 sps 20
This base fits great on my Rem 700 SPS Tact 20" .308. However, the mounting screws were not that great. They are not meant to be backed out once you torque them down. Even a tad. The screw heads ended up stripping rather easily. I was trying to make sure everything was going to line up correctly (scope, base, rings) so I backed them out after all the parts looked lined up. I also wanted to apply loctite on the screws. That's when the heads ended up stripping out. The heads are a star allen head. I had no other option than to torque them down. The base comes with the tool. I think a regular allen head might have served better. As far as function, my cold bore (utilizing 30mm steel tact rings, FA Enterprises P/N 246-000-013, and a 30mm Bushnell 6500 2.5-16 elite with mildots) was three inches low at 50 yards but dead center. The second shot was right on top of the cold bore. I adjusted my dope in four click increments and dialed in nicely. The base and the rings were a great combination. I was not at a long distance range so 50 yards was the farthest shot I could take. As far as durability, I think the base will hold up fine. I'll deal with the screws when I come to that problem. I hope they don't back out on their own. The front ones backed out fine without stripping. If it weren't for the cheap screws, I'd give this product five stars. I wonder if Brownells would give me replacement screws if I asked?
