So i went to my local academy sports here in louisiana and bought a remington 700 adl 270. $349 was hard to pass up. I bought a nikon monarch ucc 3-9x40 bdc from opticsplanet for $199. As you all know, its the 2008 version of the monarch. Same lenses, 95%. I also bought leupold medium dual dovetail rings and rem 700 bases. They were both on sale and optics planet had free shipping, and the man over the phone gave me 10% off! $215 shipped. Lapped scope rings, had scope leveled out and everything blue loctited. $600 into this gun. I am using 150 gr fusion soft points.
Field report, after break in (10 rounds cleaning + cooling in between), i started my 3 shot groups. Followed by cooling and cleaning. I was worried about the action not being glass bedded and the barrel not free floating and blah blah blah etc. 36 rounds through the gun, accurate as hell. First couple shots after cleaning are off of course. I cleaned and shot a couple more, let cool.
Last 4 shots= 3 touching each other, 1 was about 1/2" low. AMAZING. All were back to back. 4 shots within an inch and 3 could be covered with a dime. (off of sand bags, no sled) The range master couldnt believe his eyes when he saw how accurate this "cheap" gun was. I am very excited about it! Very impressed with this scope, i did insane amounts of research and for $200, nothing caught my eye besides this, not a fan of elite 3200 or fullfield II. Fusion ammo is extremely consistent. Let me know what you guys think!
