I Spell Perfection, R.E.M.I.N.G.T.O.N.

Since breaking in my new Remington 700 Police a couple weeks ago, I have been doing a new ritual to really test the accuracy on each range trip. I have taken a dime taped to a blank sheet of paper as a sacrifice to the accuracy gods. The first time I did this, right after the break-in, I ended up with a half moon dime, but on the last three trips, I have had 1-shot, 1-kill dime hits at 100 yards.

This trip was a little different, in that my sacrificial dime actually went right through the backstop, and into the dirt berm at the back of the range. Upon inspection of the paper target, I could tell that the now lost dime had been another perfect hit... If only I could find it. It vexed me enough this evening, that I decided to go back to the gun club after closing time to try to search for my poor dime, and the only evidence of a perfect accuracy run. After a bit of raking a digging, I finally found my long lost dime, to add to my Remington 700P perfection collection.

I present the latest evidence of 100-yard perfection:

You won't get me to diss the Rem 700 despite what time and space has been used lately to do.
The 700 is perfection to me as well.
 
Excellent shooting! And a nice rifle

Defacing US currency carries fines and incarceration up to five years imprisonment though ;)
 
I just noticed that you and I are 'Senior Zombies', hooligan

heck...everyone seems to be

Well, I guess that means one thing- brains for breakfast again
 
I am sorry but with all the crap that has been floating around about how crappy Remington’s are,,, including CNBC, what you did is completely impossible,,, unless you taped the coin to the barrel end.;)
That is unless your gun went off by itself.
I have two 700’s,,, They are capable of that,,,,, I just wish I was.
:(
 
I verified the scope alignment on my uncle's 700 Remington (270) for him this week. I did the initial sight in with some old 150 RN loads that I had made up years ago, but since he uses the factory Rem 150 loads I did the final shooting with them.

Every shot with those factory loads was WELL inside the one inch square sticker I was using as my target. That's darned good performance for a rifle with factory ammo if you ask me! I was very impressed.
 
Looks like the shot is a bit off center on the dime though!:rolleyes:
I have 2 .30/06 M700's and both are good accurate rifles. Good shootin!

Thanks for looking out for a fellow shooter...

Here is how the law is defined with regard to defacing currency:

"IT'S LEGAL! U.S. Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331: Prohibits among other things, fraudulent alteration and mutilation of coins. This statute does not, however, prohibit the mutilation of coins if done without fraudulent intent if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently."

We have all seen the machines that turn your penny into a thin stamped logo for amusement parks, and we have all seen jewelry, money clips and belt buckles made from real coins. This is all possible because the law is written in such a way that it is only against the Law to deface US currency that is in circulation. It is not illegal to cut and enhance currency that has been removed from circulation. By changing a coin into a work of art, like my ballistic sculpture or jewelry, it is no longer "in circulation", and could never be used to conduct transactions.
 
My retirement...

...present to me, a Remington XR100 single-shot, .308, Bushnell 4200 8-32x40 scope.

This was done at 200 yards on Thursday.

I loaded the image through my scanner, and plugged it into ON TARGET software, which measures group size, etc. The data is .507" and .242 moa maximum spread; average-to-center .212", .101 moa; Width .507", "Height .445".

Nice Shooting,


Now lets see what kind of 5-shot groups you can get. Cold bore shots are always great, but don't really tell the accuracy potential of a firearm or shooter.
