Almost ready to shoot
« on: January 07, 2009, 03:12:52 PM »
Going to get the scope put on tonight, and then I just need to wait for the new Jewell trigger to come, and then it will be off to the range.  :IBCOOL:

Brent is probably gone due to flooding in his area. Its a 300 RUM that I know. He's chasing his computer down in the North River.

Good luk out there Brent.

Just got back to work from doing some flood work, and then its back out to do some more flood work after I finish up here.

It is a Rem Mod 700 Sendero SF II in .300 RUM with the DE .875" 3-port brake installed by DE. Yes, the Zeiss will be going on it.  :)

The only RUM I like is Capt. Morgan and Bacardi.  Nice though.
Progressives are coming for your guns. 
What are you going to do?

Well me, I do not have any guns, gave away or sold them 15 years ago.

It is the standard stock that comes on the Sendero's from Remington. I'm not sure who makes it.

The stock is a H.S.Precision. I have the same rifle but in the 7MM Rem. mag. They are real shooters.

Did you ever look to see if the factory trigger was adjustable or what the pull was.  I've thought about switching mine but it feels really good as is. I've never checked the weight on it.

Mine has the new X-Mark in it, and my VTR with the X-Mark is not very consistent on what it breaks at. I was mainly just looking for an upgrade, and something that would remain consistent.

there was quite a post on the Xmark trigger over on 24hrcampfire in the gunsmithing section about 5 or 6 days ago.

I haven't tried it, but the smith I took it to didn't have the right tools to do it. I read on another forum somwhere that you need to send it to a Remington authorized center...  :dunno:

I decided to weigh the Sendero today, and with the scope, sling and bipod it comes in right at 11.4lbs.

It is going to be a hunting gun. I just need to start lifting weights so I can pack it around all season.  :chuckle:

Eberlestock brotha... EBERLESTOCK!!!  

AOD and I both shoot the same rifle... infact, AODs is pretty much identical to the one antlershed is rolling now. We packed ours all over hell and back hunting both deer and bears this year, both of them spent a lot of time in the scabard of our Eberlestocks. Mine ways about a pound less because I'm running the old style Sendero stock and Tally's... but it's still 10+ pounds. The way I see it is... I could afford to lose about 40 pounds around the middle... so leaning out the rifle is a bit like selling the car for gas money.

 :chuckle: I will look into those packs. I actually put it over my shoulder and it doesn't feel too bad, but I'm sure that can change after half a day.

Not only do they pack a big rifle well... but you can stuff half a bear in one too...

I haven't put a sling on a rifle in over two years now. I love the J104 (which they don't make anymore)... it makes a great pack even for those 2-day trips.

I also pack around a 300 rum in my eberlestock and it is the only way to go. Mine is a bdl so not quite as heavy. Get one.

i carry a stainless synthetic browning abolt in my eberlestock. it's a heavy rifle(not that heavy) and  i agree it is the only way to go for when you are on the move.
