Well, after much debate and struggle. It has come down to this, sports fans.

Envelope please....And the winner is.......Remington 700 VSLH, .308 !!! Her crown will be a US Optics ST-10, accompanied by Badger Rings/bases. Thanks to all who contributed to the Savage/Rem post of mine last week. It was close, very close....sakofan..

Mark, Good, great choice! Are you in need of trigger adjustment instructions or getting a Jewell? What load combo are you going with? Jay

Thanks POP,Jay. I hope she shoots!!

I have always had great success with Remingtons, as far as accuracy is concerned. Iam very excited!!

Iam going to adjust the Rem trigger first, then probably replace it later. A Rem. trigger thats tuned in is a pretty good trigger, IMHO.

Jay, Iam going to try to shoot 175gr. SMK's. Probably try Varget as well. Seems to be the go to powder.

You still liking those A-Max bullets,Jay?? I cant find them anywhere in Charlotte, NC. I know I could order them from Midway and those places online...sakofan..I always try to go to the local guys, and I love Match Kings.

Mark, I'd go with RE15 with those 175MKs, 41.3grs. is the hunting load in the Sierra manual, Varget may work just as well with 40-41.7grs.(max). I haven't tried the 168 AMAXs as of yet, waiting for Warren Musgrave to send me the barrel off his P model he had rebarreled, then I will have to build me a tactical rifle with it, order me a HS Precision stock along with a new scope, then I'll be able to try the AMAXs I've got sittin in the basement and compare them with the 168MKs I've got down there too. Keep you posted on the results. Any scope suggestons around the 10x range? Burris Euro Diamond I'm thinking. Jay
