gonhntn Report post Posted June 26, 2010 Hey guys, I have a 270 Remington BDL and I am looking at suggestions on making it more accurate. My son and I both drew some HD NM Coues deer permits. We are primarily bow hunters and decided to put in for the rifle hunt thus allowing for our favorites pass times bows and birdhunting. We have not spent anytime on the new custom long range trend right now, but would enjoy imput on how to make our old BDL's better. Would like to be able to shoot out to a range of 4 to 500 yards. Is it doable? Thanks for your advice< gonhntn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewp45 Report post Posted June 26, 2010 I had a stock Remington 700 270 WSM. I went and bought a new Belle and Carlson Medalist stock which has an aluminum pillar block in it. I had the stock put on and beaded. I also had the gunsmith work on the stock trigger and he turned it into a crisp 2.5 # trigger with out having to buy a new timney or jewell trigger. It took the gun from 1.5" groups at 100 yards to 3/4" groups at 100 yards. I then worked up the best load possible (if you don't reload just find the best factory ammo). I got all the data needed for a custom turret and sent off for a custom 1,000 yard turret for my leupold scope. Then practice your butt off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NRS Report post Posted June 26, 2010 1) put a good scope on it 2) put a lot of different brands and weights of bullets downrange to find what it likes best. 3) if it will shoot a pie plate size group with the best shooting bullets..."IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT" PS I did put a McMillan fiberglass stock on my 700ADL 30 years ago and it still shoots better than I can!

Red Rabbit Report post Posted June 26, 2010 How does it shoot now? Group size and shape? First shot out of a cold bore hits the same as the next ones in a warm barrel? If it shoots just OK but not great, you might have it glass bedded, trigger adjusted and barrel recrowned for starters, before considering rebarreling. Out to 400-500 tards. a reticle like the Zeiss Conquest RapidZ 600 or 800 would work well, as would Leupold's B&C reticle. 4.5-14x magnification would be optimum, imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondbackaz Report post Posted July 11, 2010 Do the trigger yourself. http://www.snipercountry.com/Articles/Remingtontriggers.asp . This is just one, Google "Remington trigger adjustment" and you get others. We did mine on my model 7 and it is sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
