As a minimum you\u2019ll need a riflescope and scope base and mounts. To be versatile and efficient in the field you\u2019ll also need a bipod and a sling. If you want to be silent and deadly, you\u2019ll need a suppressor, too.

This riflescope utilizes a standard duplex reticle and custom generated elevation dials marked to match the trajectory profile of your ammo from your rifle. If you want to hit at 300 yards, you turn the dial to \u201c3,\u201d hold dead-on and shoot! This approach works because you actually go to the range and chronograph your ammo to determine an average muzzle velocity. You send that, along with some other information, to Leupold and it will custom engrave a turret for your CDS scope. Cost?

A riflescope has to be mounted solid for precision shooting. Leupold\u2019s Mark 4 rings, used by military and police snipers, area as reliable as the sun, but if long range is your game the base is just as important. To ensure you have enough adjustment to dial in a correction at 500 yards, you\u2019ll want a scope base with some integral elevation correction.

However, fire 200 rounds from the prone position in one day and you&#8217;ll appreciate Remington&#8217;s super-soft, Super Cell recoil pad.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Suppressor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suppressors are becoming more common, and more states are also allowing their use for hunting. This is great news, because suppressors eliminate noise pollution and save shooters\u2019 hearing. Suppressor ownership, if legal in your jurisdiction, is easier than you think. It does, however, involve an application process, more background checks, a $200 check to ATF and the kind of paperwork that makes it best to enlist the aid of a local dealer to help walk you through the process.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve had the opportunity to use suppressors from a variety of different manufacturers, but Lehigh Defense versions are very quiet and built to extreme precision. In fact, the suppressor we prefer on .30-caliber rifles is the Lehigh Iroquois, which retails for $1,000.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11098\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Remington-700SPS-AACSD-leupold-scope.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"remington-700-sps-tactical-aac-sd-long-range-setup-and-review\" title=\"Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD \u2013 Long-Range Setup and Review\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11098\" title=\"Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD \u2013 Long-Range Setup and Review\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11098\" alt=\"Leupold riflescope, Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Remington-700SPS-AACSD-leupold-scope-400x203.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Remington-700SPS-AACSD-leupold-scope-400x203.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Remington-700SPS-AACSD-leupold-scope-150x76.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Remington-700SPS-AACSD-leupold-scope-1024x521.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Remington-700SPS-AACSD-leupold-scope.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11098\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A common misconception when it comes to long-range, precision shooting is that you need a high-magnification, tactical-styled riflescope. All you really need is a quailty scope with about 10X magnification that allows you to make click adjustments with ease. Leupold&#8217;s CDS scopes are perfect for this application.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Lehigh Defense Iroquois suppressor is 12.25 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter. It is manufactured from grade-nine titanium and heat-treated stainless steel. It is not rated for full-automatic fire, but is compatible with both supersonic and subsonic ammunition. Thread adapters are available for a variety of thread configurations for between $60 and $75. In most cases, rifles will shoot better with the Iroquois suppressor than without. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Gear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What else do you need to go with your $700 dollar rifle in order to get hits at long range? Well, for sure you\u2019ll need ammunition.

Black Hills&#8217; 180-grain Nosler AccuBond load is a great choice.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One other accessory you might need for this rig is a cheek pad. Why? When you get your riflescope mounted, unless you have a really fat head, you\u2019re probably going to find if you rest your cheek on the comb of the stock, your eye will be below the center of the riflescope. Improper cheek weld is detrimental to precision shooting, so attaching a cheek pad like the Blackhawk! IVS Performance Cheek Pad will put your eye in the right spot, give you place to store some extra ammo and maybe even a range finder or some breath mints. (Hey, be considerate of the girl who is spotting for you.)<\/p>\n<p>A stock Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD weighs 7.3 pounds and has an overall length of 39 5\/8 inches. It is currently only available on .308 Win., but the wide range of options offered in the Remington 700 line for the last 50 years has set the standard for sporting and tactical rifles. They range in price from a suggested retail of $702 for the snythetic-stocked SPS (available in 14 different chamberings) to $2,117 to the Bell &amp; Carlson Medalist Varmint\/Tactical stocked Target Tactical model. <\/p>\n<p>There you have it. You should be able to put this complete kit, sans suppressor, together for less than two-grand which is about half the price of some top-end long range rifles. Will they shoot any better than your Remington 700 SPS? Probably not. At least if you go the 700 SPS route, you\u2019ll have enough cash left over to buy an identically set up rifle for your significant other. Be warned though, girls sometimes shoot better than guys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first blush you might think you have to shell out big bucks for a long-range rifle, but the Remington Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD with a suggested retail of only $833 will hold its own against rifles costing much more.
