Happy shooting.
Mine's a .308

I'm already in love with the 700 and have been for quite a while. My brother's rifle is based on the 700. Of course he has a match barrel, a NightForce Scope, an AICS chassis and now a suppressor so the only thing 700 about it is the receiver.

My good friend and hunting partner was in the big city yesterday and picked up my rifle for me. I told the gunsmith I wanted the new Timney trigger set to 3 lb's but it came back right around 2.5 It should be ok and I ran the snap caps through it a bunch yesterday to get myself used to the new weight. I really like that Timney trigger. It's very crisp and clean.

Now to get that gun to the range and get it broken in and sighted in!

Sadly, it's probably going to be another week before I can get there *sigh*
