Out of the box

Doing some fine tuning on loads this afternoon and this was 1 of 3 under .5". This group measured .216" from my Rem 700 LSS, 7mm Ultra Mag straight out of the box. The worse group I've gotten this thing to shoot was still under 1.5". Kind of makes reloading easy if you know what I mean!!

I've shot A-Max's, Balistic Tips, Match Kings and Game Kings. This group coming from Seria's Game Kings. Now to just bring it to the long range and see how it does down range.

Who said stock guns can't shoot under 1 MOA? All you non-Remmy fans out there..well the proof is in the pudding. No modifications other than a little trigger adjustment on my behalf.

I love shooting this gun every time I break it out. Roy, I'd say your big bore might have a hard time keeping up!

Nice shooting Petey. Really makes you feel good don't it --

I'm one of the consistency type fans -- now go shoot a 10 shot group and if it's .5 you got a terrific shooter. Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Aww, that's just the angle of the picture

I can just about put those 3 inside of one of your .375's... Give me a week of more tuning. Just put the 8x40x50 scope on it last night so I can zoom right in on them eyeballs at 700

I, for one, am quite impressed. I think that's terrific for out of the box accuracy. Congratulations and best wishes.
