Rem 700 SPS Tactical 20" 308

I just want to do a little braggin on my new rifle. I have owned it for only 2-3 weeks and I already know it my most accurate rifle. This will be my main deer rifle and also serve as a target rifle. I really like the 20" bull barrel, makes it easy to manuever the gun (here in GA, the woods are thick so a long barrel is awkward). Plus, I really like short barrel guns when trying to climb up into those tiny tree stands.

Anyway, the gun has a Zeiss 3-9X40. The gun was shooting a little over 1MOA with Federal 150gr Powershocks. After collecting some fired brass, I neck sized some rounds of Sierra Gamekings 165gr with IMR4895 and shot some 1.75" 5 shot groups at 200yards. Here's a target with 40.5gr on left and 40.5gr on the right. I can probably load it a little hotter and keep the accuracy.

Trigger is nice. I haven't even adjusted it any. Recoil is very low due to its Hogue stock and heavier weight. The only problem I can find with the gun is the bolt sometimes doesn't want to pick up the next round from the magazine. Anybody else have this gun?
