The Savage 110 Trail Hunter in 7mm PRC offers good value under $600 but doesn't surpass the Ruger American. While capable of sub-MOA accuracy with specific ammunition, it suffers from a complex bolt release, a flexible stock, and proprietary scope mounting hardware. The Ruger American is noted for better feeding reliability and a more user-friendly design.
This video tests whether a high-end rifle with a low-end optic or a low-end rifle with a high-end optic performs better for long-range precision. The test concludes that rifle consistency is paramount for long-range accuracy, more so than the optic's quality. A consistent rifle, even with a budget optic, can achieve reliable hits, while an inconsistent rifle, even with a premium optic, struggles beyond basic hunting distances.
This review of the Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD in 6.5 Creedmoor, presented by an experienced firearms instructor, details its performance from 100 yards to 1000 yards. The rifle demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy with specific ammunition, despite a notable internal magazine feeding issue that was later resolved. The assessment highlights the rifle's potential as a budget-friendly long-range platform, emphasizing its smooth action and quality trigger.
The Remington 700 AAC-SD in .308 Win features a 20-inch bull barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, designed for heavier rounds. However, the factory Hogue stock lacks rigidity, causing barrel contact and negatively impacting accuracy. Testing revealed inconsistent groupings, even with match-grade ammunition. The primary recommendation is upgrading to a more rigid stock like the Magpul Hunter 700.
The Ruger Mini-14 remains a viable, durable, and fun firearm, especially as a simple truck gun or for those appreciating its Garand-style action. While less adaptable and accurate (expect 2-3 MOA) than AR-15s, its reliability in adverse conditions is a key strength. Upgrades like Hogue stocks are beneficial, but factory magazines are recommended over less reliable aftermarket options.
The Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .223 Remington offers impressive accuracy, achieving sub-3/4 inch groups at 100 yards with specific ammunition. Its heavy barrel and 'Three Rings of Steel' design contribute to its precision. While the Hogue stock is comfortable, potential flex near the barrel under bipod pressure is a noted drawback. The X-Mark Pro trigger is adjustable and crisp, enhancing the shooting experience.
The Howa 1500 Trekka 2 .308 WIN package offers excellent value for Australian hunters, retailing around $980 AUD for the stainless model. It features a Hogue overmolded stock, a 20-inch stainless barrel, and a reliable HACT trigger. While accuracy is acceptable for hunting (1.5-2.0 inch groups), its lightweight design and practical features make it a solid choice for trekking in the bush.
