[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 3088626, member: 105"] I have a Model 700 LTR that I had skim bedded and trigger work done and I mounted an NXS 5,5-22x56 scope on and it shoots 168SMKs so accurately that it's hard to believe. I once shot an 10 shot group under .3" at 100yds with it and have shot several 3 and 5 shot groups under .2". At 200 and 300yds it will astound you too. Somewhere around here I have a target that I shot a 3 shot 1.5" group at 300yds on a windy/rainy day. That's the longest ranges my gun club has. Varget is my go to powder for it and I don't push the envelope on speed. The Federal GMM ammo with the 168SMK projectiles shoots better than any factory ammo I've ever shot in any rifle. I wonder just how well that rifle would shoot in the hands of a real sho nuff good competition shooter. I'm good but I'm certain there are lots of people that can outshoot me. In my opinion Sierra Match King bullets are simply so accurate and easy to load for that they're a gift to shooters. It's sad that they're so hard to get but then I guess most of us have learned to stock up with they're available. [/QUOTE]
