How does that Howa shot I was looking at maybe getting one in .223 just because ammo is cheaper, but I heard you can get better rifles for the price of a Howa Axiom. Was it worth the money you spent on it.

Just curious :dunno: Not trying to slam ya, it just looks really high. You usually want the scope centerline about 1.5 to 2 inches above bore centerline for maximum benefits and a 20 MOA base is needed for some scopes that don't offer enough vertical movement for long distance shooting but your rifle is really not setup for real long range stuff.
Here is a really good video on how to set one up the correct way. >>>>>>>

Custom Rem 722 in 22-250 with an Elite 4200 2.5x10x40mm built it for open country and and have found that I haven't had a need for it. Most of my shots are under 200yrds and hardly get over 1.5x on my Savages.

Wondering if a gun smith could cut the stock and add a bottom door to empy the clip?.
When I was in Junior high and not thinking (ie stupid and tired) I forgot to unload the gun after hunting. Brought it home and cycled four shells out. I pulled the trigger and itwent off in the back yard. Obviously I had the gun pointed in a safe direction and blew a hole in the grass in the backyard (lucky I didnt hit the sprinkler system). Something I think about 30 years later every time I unload it.

Have you ever shot your 222. Seems like that gun would be sweet to carry hunting with the short barrel.

R15
:drool: NICE! I love those Remington's - I really want an R25 and almost bought one. But now I got into shooting clays so all my money has been going to that. I bought 2 new O/U's instead. 1st I got a Mossberg Silver Reserve Sporting, its a good gun and I like it - but it wasnt expensive enough so I just bought a Browning Cynergy Sporting. :chuckle: Its shipping out today so hopefully by this time next week I'll be shooting a new shotgun! :IBCOOL:
DPMS makes the R15 and R25 for Remington dont they? I think the DPMS Sportical or Panther LR .308 is exactly the same as the R25 minus the camo dip.
Post by: jackelope on March 02, 2012, 11:04:21 AM
I believe that mine is the Rem ADL the gun is very accurate. The only thing I dont like about it is that I have to cycle the live shells out of the built in clip. There is not a door on the bottom of the clip to open up.
Wondering if a gun smith could cut the stock and add a bottom door to empy the clip?.
If It's a 700 you can just buy another stock with the drop floor plate hole and bottom metal for it I think. Some of the Remington guys on here can verify that.

I've probably put about 10 rounds through it...never hunted with it. I haven't even looked at it in over a year I bet. It is a very compact, easy handling rifle. I'd like to find one in .350 rem mag one of these days when funds allowed and get a twin.

I'm planning on using my new .223 encore pro hunter in .223. I got a 4-12 Pentex on it. Only issue I can see is its stainless. Thinking of having it dipped. I found I can get the barrel done for $150 any color or pattern I want.
teacherman
$150 sounds like a pretty good deal. Have you seen the DIY dip kits? I got one an used it on some things, some calls, mags, and a scope. It worked pretty good, the scope turned out awesome - but I dont know if I'd try & do a gun..... I thought about doing my S&W MP40 in digital since it is somewhat expendable to me... but I dont want to bung up a perfectly good gun either.... :dunno:

Jayrod, How do you like the 6.5x20? My bro inlaw and Cuz have the Nikon 3x9 predator BDC and like it but have trouble with just throwing the rifle up and finding the coyote... How does your scope rate in the "through up the gun and fire" ? Does it help to have the big 50mm aperture?I love the scope! I leave it on 6.5 and I'm good to go. The 50mm is great at dusk and dawn. I had the vortex crossfire before the viper and it had the illuminated reticle. I was worried about low light but the viper is so clear there is no problem at all. Ill put a Vortex up against almost anything out there.

Possibly use a 12ga too in the tight stuff.
don't really have a dedicated varmit rifle but I think this'll fit the bill - I'll be in the woods with shorter shots anyways
can't see the need for a 20 lb rifle on a bi-pod :chuckle:
