that rifle u have is it one that takes ar mags ?
Sorry, denton, I missed your post. The bolt guns I have which take AR mags are Rem700s in .223.Originally Posted by denton
They started life as "Tacticals" but now have AR mag conversions, 26" Shilen barrels with brakes,
Bell and Carlson tactical stocks, Timney triggers and somewhat unique slings that allow me to carry
them like luggage... the sling rises OVER the rifle, doesn't droop under it, allowing it to 'dangle' from my straight
arm as I walk. They also have Weaver 4-20x50mm "Tactical" mildot scopes with 3" shades which make them
difficult to shoulder normally.
The Rem M788 in .22-250 has a DBM but only holds 3 rds.
The Savage 12 bench gun has a blind box. Load it 3 deep one at a time, and unload it by working the bolt.
However, it's so heavy I'm unlikely to ever carry it in the field and at the bench, even in prairie dog country,
I'll probably single feed it.
At the risk of sounding obsessive...I also have 2 Mossberg MVPs that accept AR mags and which have 24" barrels.
They were far less expensive and are just as accurate as the Remingtons.
I put over 14,000 handloaded 50 Zs through the first Remington's 20" hvy barrel and it would still pick off prairie dogs
at 300yds when I changed barrels. I had loaded it to about 2900'/s with TAC which is a few % below published max charge and
the factory barrel stood it nicely.
