I use cigarette lighter fluid to clean and lube Rem 700 triggers. I learned that from the factory armorer's course I attend over twenty years ago. Dirt, crud, dried lube is one of the issues with ND's on the walker triggers. This new Timney might be different but I'll probably swap it out if it doesn't lighten up in the future. but thanks for the tip.
Thanks. After I determine how accurate the set up is I may take the Leupold LR Tactical 4.5-14x15 off and mount the SWFA 6X on there. The FOV, forgiving parallax, and windage leads might prove to be a functional scope. Plus I could see crows sitting on power lines with ease so even with the low power is seems functional.
I know you said "low budget", but that precision target has got to go!
Yeah but my sharpie fits the budget rifle when ink cartridge are so dang expensive! Don't judge meI know you said "low budget", but that precision target has got to go!
There are some nice printable targets here....
BTW I love Accurateshooter.com/ 6mmbr.com. I've been reading their articles and using their targets for years.I know you said "low budget", but that precision target has got to go!

Things have been pretty rough going on a decade now. And most likely will get worse. So bad that I came danger close to buying a CCP scope lol. I like the SWFA fixed power scopes but honestly the glass is on par with VarixII. It could always be worse so I'm thankful for my rig. The sharpie is an added bonus lol.If things are that bad, send me your address and I'll send you some.
Always willing to help a vet and a fellow shooter when I can.
Thanks I figured I'd post for those who might be looking for a new mid range priced rifle. I believe Remington is trying to compete with Tikka as far as build quality at a lower price. I forgot to mention I used ADG brass a got from Nez at a great price and I used Remington 9 1/2 primers instead of FED 210M. I don't have much RL22 left so these rounds are mostly for breaking in the rifle. I might do some more 3 round groups with 63.5gr and 64.0gr RL22 to see if the groups and ES/SD improve. After that I load up the rest of the RL22 and shoot out to 550 to 800 yards steel. If I get the range to myself I might shoot out to 1000 yards on my steel 8" plate.

Thanks for the tip. For me looking at the bullet holes, or seeing the bullet holes is a distraction while shooting groups. I generally put the cross hairs on a corner and shoot for a group. I was shooting with 7-9 mph winds that day with a poorly filled backpack. It kept settling on me with every shot so I couldn't even use a rear bag so I'm satisfied with the group. But I think I have a red sharpie so I'll give it a try. I don't shoot many 100 yard groups. Once I get a load I start shooting out to atleast 800 yards depending on the conditions.
