Bolt guns are fun to shoot, but it becomes an obsession especially when you go through the reloading process...

168 or 175 grain 308 rounds shoot the best for me, cost more but pretty accurate....

The shot made in the video was done with 175 smk

is that the rem 700 5r barrel?

is that the rem 700 5r barrel?

Yes

Thanks guys. I think I will just stay with the 3.5-15x50. I don't want to go too overboard since we plan on getting something bigger in the future.

Any recommendations on a brand for the rail and rings?

What would be your first upgrade for this rifle, trigger, barrel, chassis, etc?

Badger,leupold,egw,tps, all make solid mounts and rings it depends on how much u want to spend and if u want a name brand like badger or leupold Ur gonna pay more then say tps,egw or weaver.  I would shoot the rifle first get comfortable and practice before upgrading anything that way u can see your progression on a stock rifle and see what you and the rifle can do. Then later u can upgrade the chassis,trigger etc and see if it helped improve your grouping but that's just my.2 cents

Jewell trigger!

What I would do first is have an larue rail installed onto the receiver . Have the rail screws taped out larger for a stronger hold . Badger mounts , N/F 3.5-15x50 mlr or if you can a H59. The reason for the H59 is for a faster fallow up shot if your hunt /target shooting at greater distances. Depends on what model rem700 you bought it may have the 40 x trigger so no need to upgrade the trigger 

I'm I supposed to go short or long base? I'm looking at Badger's website and they have so many to pick from.

If you are doing .308, you will need a short action base.

I know OGC have had Badger rails/rings in stock before, maybe inquire there to see if they have any.  Support LGS's 

What do you think of all-in-one type mount/rings?

Depending on what scope u decide to get and that the rings are not adjustable on that mount you might run into issue with the scope bell hitting the rings when setting your eye relief.

with the Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 scope. I figure same brand should fit. Just wondering if going one piece is better than two pieces and also difference brands between mounts and rails?

I can't comment on the one piece being better cus I never used one but I like the adjustability of the two piece and haven't had any problems with it on my rem 700

I ran the badger two piece mounts on mines it's a very solid mount .

I got the nightforce light weight scope rings... kind of pricy but matched the scope if that makes any difference....
