    I recently picked up a Remington 700 VSS 308 from another INGO member and have decided to make it a tacticool sniper rifle. It has a 26 inch heavy barrel, HS Percision stock, 20 MOA picatinny scope mount and a trigger job. I am waiting on A.R.M.S. #22 low QD rings and a Super Sniper 10x42 side focus scope that I just bought. After I get the rifle put together all I need is some ammo! I will post some pics and if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

    I've got the same Sendero only in a .270. It's a tack driver. Blew a muskrat completely out of the water with it. Was the coolest thing EVER! Wish I had it on video.

    Pretty nice rifle. I didn't know it was on his list of trade items or I would have had it! Lol. I have a 700 PSS in 308 and an SPS in 223. The PSS is a great shooter. I'm wanting a different stock for the SPS but I think it'll do until I find one. I want the B&C stock that Tyler put on his rifle. Did you say you had rings coming? I have some here if you don't. I also picked up a Savage 110 4x4 from a friend a while back. it's a 20" HB 223. We need to go shoot sometime. I'll get the mag over to ya by Wed. Enjoy your rifle, it's a nice one.

    Hey I have a spare scope and rings set up for my PSS that you can "Borrow" until yours comes in if you want. I use a similar mount so it should fit right on.

    I am waiting on A.R.M.S. #22 low QD rings and a Super Sniper 10x42 side focus scope that I just bought.

    I just got the exact same scope for my Remington 03A3. Absolutely love it. I have Redfield medium/standard rings, and there is 1mm clearance between the bolt and the ocular.

    I don't know how high your bolt turns, or how low your A.R.M.S. rings are, but I'm just warning you...

    the cheek piece is the shizz, it's what I have on my .308. karsten is the man.

    I really like the cheek piece but will prolly go with the pack for now (when I get more $). In the future I may do both and switch it out every once in a while.

    I think I'm good on clearance, that scope base should have it sitting pretty high.

    Thanks for the offer but it wont be long before I get the scope now! Any money I have left over will go towards ammo.:ar15:
