There is no award for the high score with a Remington 700

Lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.
That's what my friends tell me. Anyway, I was the only one to take to the line with a Rem 700 at the California Palma State Championships on Mar 7,8, 2020. So I would have been guaranteed that award.

There were a couple of rifles shooting better than mine at certain distances (800, 900 and 1000) and some rifles had higher X counts.

But at the end of the 2nd day when we added them all up, my score was highest (F-Class).

That doeant really suprise me. I got trued rem 700 actions that those rifles hammer. Customs are nice, but I think theres alot more in a good clean lock up on the lugs, and barrel work. Even more in the shooter himself.
 
Congrats. I sometimes have action envy with my 700's but then I met a guy a few matches back with a 700 in 30BR and he said he mostly shot prize and money matches (almost a thing of the past) and had won over $5K over the years with it.
 
Congrats! Well done, and with a lowly Remington 700 action no less. I hope you repeat several times this yr. That'll open the eyes of those that scoff at the thought of actually using ( or refuse to build on ) an action that most custom actions are based on anyway. Well done!

Though the custom actions that I own are smoother, my two BR Remington 700 / 40X builds shoot as well. One is even just from the custom shop, though it was built by the Dakota Arms group rather than the Ilion shop and has a Krieger Barrel and Jewel Trigger to my Reamer Specs.

Thanks for all the kind words. I can't say that I'm more skilled than all the other shooters but it all came together and I figured out the wind a little better than the others...except for the time I shot a 7...my target went up and down a couple of times...I laughed and said "it must be the X and the guy is having trouble reaching the X scoring spot" (It is high right). Finally it came up and it was an X. I smiled and pulled the trigger--forgetting to recheck the wind which had died. Fortunately by then I had enough lead that it didn't matter. --Jerry
