Good thread - I use the same scope on all my (different) bolt action rifles.

Similar thinking - for me it's sight picture that's important to be the same, and any adjustments I might need to make.

That is not a bad idea.

I had bought the Rem Managed Recoil Ammo and it has a lighter kick that my old Rem BDL 243. I neck shoot all my deer so I love the gun.

A fifth-wheel trailer is my home so space is hard to come by for gun storage. I went with Thompson Center Encore with .300 winmag, 22-250, 50 cal muzzleloader and 7mm-08 pistol barrel. They all work GREAT for me....

No, none that I can ever recall, that is what I like about Remingtons, they all seem to shoot really good, in my experence. How do you like your 700 SPS?
