5R milspec 640 yards and 440 yards

Remington model 700 5r Milspec back and forth from 440 yards and 640 yards. Just trying out the new flip camera. I will bring out the Barrett M99 50 BMG and we will move out to a thousand yards next time. Also planning on bringing a tripod. The sihlouette is only 24 inches tall and 6 inches wide at the widest part. The head is 3.5 inches wide. The round plate at 640 yards is 10 inches round. Some of the camera shots are from a few yards from the target.

i like the scope how much was it and what kind of knife was that in your pocket.

[skirtchaser79]

@slipknot3476 300 bucks and it is a spyderco endura clip it w/plastic clip , which they don't make anymore so if u find one on ebay buy it. Won't scratch a car like the new ones if you rub up against it.

I ve heard this is a pretty good range gun but would you reccomend it for hunting? is the weight an issue at all?

[skirtchaser79]

@akkwilly 60 yards no. Open field yes. Weight not an issue if your going to sit(same as varmint contour 22-250). As a matter of fact the rifle is a VS SS. I like it but I am a big boy. I can shoot the m107 and the m99 offhand and I dont know any one else who can or will do that. I love hunting with something that can hit a crow at 4-500 yards just in case I get board or need to win a bet. I will say I am building a 6.5 in a sporter contour for my stand in the woods.

Super sniper scope?

[skirtchaser79]

@Juice56107 What about it? Tasco military contract over run. Only available through SWFAcom.

wish my savage 110 had that camo....I love it!

@akkwilly I took my suppressed 5R hunting this last year in NE and it performed beautifully. It was getting a bit heavy walking streams etc. but was what I needed to take my two deer (~450 and ~490 yards). If you don't mind wanting to cut off your arms at the end of the day, it's an excellent hunting rifle. A stock rifle without the suppressor, MK4 scope, or AI mags would probably weigh a bit less than mine.

@skirtchaser79 I have a 16x SWFA SS in Badger rings/mount on my 5r as well. Easily could've gotten away with a 10x, but I like the magnification.

I shot my best group ever this past summer with it: 5-shots, 173gr SMK (118LR), zero modifications to rifle (not even a trigger adjustment), off a Versa-pod bipod, laying prone in about 75% humidity at dusk, dead calm. 300 yards exactly, .76 inches according to digital micrometer.

I'm keeping the gun.

@Juice56107 Easy tiger I'm not gonna give you shit about it. I know its an awesome scope for the money and it was awarded a navy contract. I was just asking if it was a super sniper as I plan on putting one on a 5r I just drosed yestureday until I save up for a nightforce. Oh and swfa bought the rights from tasco so the new ones are swfa scopes now, Great shooting brother, stay safe.
