[QUOTE="hd_rider13, post: 902847, member: 8030"] I just went from a Browning Auto in 30-06 to a Remington Sps Tactical in a .308. I shot one inch groups with the Browning at 100 yards, and killed 13 or 14 (can't remember) deer with it over the last 18 years. Yesterday was my first day at the range with the Remington. I used the same scope I had on the brownng, and HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! I shot a dime size shot group at 100 yards, with the first three rounds out of the gun!! Now I have to admit that the load that did that was a 150 gr Hornady SPBT with 40.8 grains of IMR 3031 behind it, so it was only moving about 2500 fps. I shot some hotter loads after that, and they spread out a little, but there was only one three shot group that was over .92 minutes. Not to mention that the Remington handled the recoil much better than the browning. I'm not knocking the browning, but i wish I had bought this gun years ago. My last six rounds at the range, I shot at a 175 yard target with the hottest loads. They grouped at 1.45 inches and were about 1 inch high. Again, I LOVE this gun. Now I just need a nicer scope and I will never need another deer rifle. Check out Bud's Gun shop online if you want one. He has the bes price I found and has free shipping. Oh, and if you don't reload, buy the book called "the ABCs of reloading" and the Lee reloading manual. Get a basic single stage press kit, some powder, primers, and bullets, and you will be amazed at what reloads can do for your shot groups AND your wallet. (it costs me about 8 bucks to reload 20 .308 rounds). [/QUOTE]
