A friend that I deer hunt with every year here in the midwest, purchased a new Rem. 750 in .308 for the 2007 deer season.
He installed Burris mounts and rings, with a new Burris Fulfield 2, 3X9-40 scope.
At a 200 yard rifle range near by we zeroed the 750 at 150 yards, using Federal Premium 165 grain factory ammo, off of a solid bench rest sitting position.
The Rem. 750 shot a steady 2 1/4" groups at that distance, giving the rifle lots of time to cool down between groups while we zeroed two of my rifles at another bench. The outside temperature was around 62 degrees with no wind with sunny skys, and we took plenty of time that day.
When we deer hunted I watched my friend shoot a buck from a sitting position on the ground with a tight sling hold, and at a measured distance of 244 yards. One shot kill.
He later went to an ajoining state for a wild bore hunt, and took a big one down at 168 yards, using the same Federal ammo with a one shot kill.
He has so far shot about 250 rounds through his 750 with no problems.
He keeps all his rifles neat and clean, and his Remington 750 as well.
