Looks sharp.

It can be a lot of different calibers since it's an MRAD. This setup happened to be in .308, but 6.5C, and others are possible with a quick barrel change. We had a lot of 175gr. SMKs so .308 it was for the week. We were shooting steel at distance at this class, not groups. This rifle is under a half minute though. I don't have pics. Sorry.

Do you change bolts or boltface when you swap to a caliber that doesn’t share the same rim diameter?

Yessir you do.

Under half a minute won’t cut it for me barrel needs to be 1/4 or less consistently to have an edge these are 5 @100

With factory blasting ammo it’s good enough for me. Shooting man-size targets. Shooting groups that’s a different story.

I like to shoot steel and critters. I've never been sorry that I had a superior platform either.

I don't recall anyone condemning you for owning a pricier platform, this whole back and forth was because you stated that 700's were a poor man's rifle and labeling anyone with a rig that cost's a fraction as yours as an "inferior weapon". Even if it's capable of doing the same as yours at 1,000 yards and under.

Cost, options, or name of the rig doesn't categorize it as an superior weapon, the person who takes the time to use quality glass, find the right ammunition and practice with it does.

Only thing I would agree to say that justifies a premium price is the optics for long range shooting in tactical situations. It's easy to make changes to a rifle to help it's ability to shoot better, but optics are set in stone on their ability from the factory.

Long range tactical shooting is my game.

If an unpoor wants to convince me that 700's aren't up to modern standards by donating one to me so I can see for myself I'll humbly accept it

Me too!

And to answer the OP, 4 Hyfin vents and about 10 packs of QuikClot.

Spare complete BCG, buffer spring, batteries for the prism scope.

Sorry Greg Vess didn’t intend to steer thread so far off topic.
