12” 6.5 Grendel. Haven’t checked velocity but whitetail don’t like it whatever it is. Shooting 123 sst. Great in a box blind!

18” Remington 700 5R milspec in 308. Shoots 165 game changers at 2650. I’ve taken most of my game in the last 5 years almost exclusively with this rifle. It’s my go to rifle if I’m just walking to a stand or box blind not far away. It doesn’t move and you can literally see the impact. Have taken a couple of bucks at 325 but would have no problem going much further with this rifle if presented with an opportunity. It is so nice when you can have so much confidence in a set up. About as much weight as I want to carry in the field though.6C9EDA21-7471-42F6-8D97-B7421B3F0148.jpegDD4278D2-709F-472F-946C-64C0A96AE785.jpeg

How is the recoil on this light of a rifle? I admire that round but for target shooting it really tires me out.
 
Holy smokes I am boring, I bought a Remington 788 .308 win $400 w scope on 9-24-21. , pillar bed , McMillan stock needs a timeny trigger
shoots like a charm (3 shot group .67 inch) , 7.5 lbs

Considering I am adapted to shooting my .338 win mag, with the brake on this thing it’s really nice to shoot. I love it. If I wanted to I imagine I could shoot a box or two before needing a break.

Did you weigh just the fieldcraft action when you built that?
 
I picked up a Proof Elevation over the weekend and plan on putting a Swaro Z5 on it. I believe I have seen lightweight Talley ring/bases on these but could not find them listed on their site. Anyone know if a 700 ring/base fits or something else?

E-mail Talley customer support and they'll send you the exact model number for the proper rings/height to order based on model of gun and scope.
