I have sighted in many rifles for friends over the years and without fail, every one of them then shot the rifle to the same point of aim as I did.
My experience is that this is a bunch of bull. They have to sight it in for themselves.” I have often read, and often heard at gun shops, that “You can’t sight in a rifle for someone else or it won’t hit anywhere near point of aim for them. The trigger is the only shiny part of the rifle and it has a nice, crisp trigger pull. We tightened it to specs with my torque wrench. It is mounted with a solid one-piece scope mount. The scope is an excellent Leupold 4-12 adjustable scope. The bolt and all the barrel is matt finished in black. The bolt is the standard Remington 700 bolt and safety design. It has a nice thick and soft butt pad that not only helps with recoil, but also allows you to stand it in a corner without worrying that it will slide down the wall and damage the scope.
The barrel is free floated from the chamber to nearly the end of the fore end where there is about a one inch section that puts a little upward pressure on the barrel. The fore end has 6 holes in it to allow the barrel to cool more easily. It has a very nice recessed muzzle crown to protect the crown from damage. It has a gray insert on the rear and front of the stock where you would grip it to shoot. We sit in blinds in thick woods and a heavy rifle is no problem. That might be a little heavy if you were hiking up and down mountains. It weighs about 7.5 pounds without the scope or mount.
It has a 24 inch barrel with a 1 in 10 twist. 308 Winchester and has a 4 cartridge magazine capacity. He is working a lot of overtime and deer season is fast approaching and he finally asked me if I could sight it in for him. We put it all together in my shop and he was ready to sight it in. He also bought a Leupold 4-12 scope and a solid base for it. It is a Remington 700 SPS (Special Purpose Synthetic) in.
