OFP2651 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Couldn't find a real place to show this off, but man do I want to show it off. Started as a Remington 700 SPS Varmint Then I decided I was going to spruce it up a bit. I got a DPMS ErgoTactical grip, Magpul PRS buttstock, MDT LSS Chassis, and a UTG Bipod. Here is the finished project. I did all the work myself for the actual assembly, since it was my first time doing it, I thought I would go with something that isn't that much on the difficulty scale but I greatly enjoyed putting it together.
DNP Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Sweet looking setup. How do you like that chassis so far?
OFP2651 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Posted January 27, 2014 To be completely honest, I haven't even shot the rifle, with or without the chassis. I do love the feel of the chassis, I don't know, it's just right for some reason. The whole setup is still a bit weighty because of the 26" bull barrel that is on the rifle; I wanted to have my own M40 sniper. It should be fun though, when I actually get it out to a range. Still wish there was one that went out to 1000 that I could shoot on around here.
Toolndie7 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 thats a sexy looking rifle you got there, Any plans for a muzzle brake?
OFP2651 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Posted January 28, 2014 Not really planning for a muzzle break at the moment. The barrel isn't threaded so I would have that done first either way, but like I said, as of right now, nothing planned.
shibiwan Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 What mags are those... I was planning on building a Rem 700 SA using my CNC "skillz" to make the chassis which would ideally take the standard 308 pmag.
OFP2651 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Posted January 28, 2014 This chassis allows the use of AICS magazines.

I was planning on building a Rem 700 SA using my CNC "skillz" to make the chassis which would ideally take the standard 308 pmag. Nice. I've actually had the same idea, but keep running into how to keep the magazine feed lips out of the way of the bolt lugs.
OFP2651 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) So Range Report time. The rifle is amazing. I shot around 50 rounds out of it the first day, barely left any kind of mark on my shoulder, so even without a buffer the recoil management is amazing. I didn't think to take a 3-shot group picture, mainly because I was having WAY too much fun shooting. I would say the rifle itself will shoot sub-moa though, as I was zeroing it out to 100 I noticed all of my shots were tightly packed, even if not always in the center of the target. The second time I took it out (two weeks later), I shot another 50-75 rounds through it with a little more focus getting my eye-relief and actual grouping done. I was called away because of work before I was able to get nice 3-shot group to take a picture of and post it. I will have to do that next time. In a shot to shot comparison between the Remington 700 and my RRA, the 700 was much more accurate. All-in-all I absolutely love how this rifle turned out, even more than my RRA-SO. It may not have the quickness of follow-up shots, but with the accuracy that I am getting out of the rifle, I don't think I will need it. Edited February 27, 2014 by OFP2651
