If I own an MOA factory fudd-looking rifle, does that make it 'precision'? Or does it have to have the bull barrel and bipod and what have you?

For a TRUE precision rifle, I'd stick with at least a bull barrel; but you can get great groups with thinner sporter contour barrels--they just heat up and open up their groups a lot faster at the range.
>>
>>28016565

Sounds like a great setup.

Savage rifle are no joke. The old days of "Savage is for guys who can't afford a Remington" are over. Savage rifles and shooters have been taking home medals for years now.

Re-barreling a Savage is crazy easy too; it can be done in your garage in 30 mins with a wrench and some gauges.

That's a good looking group of rifles. I'd love to have some Vortex Razor glass myself.

I had a Howa 1500 Targetmaster (same exact action), and was VERY impressed with the accuracy of it (once I'd put it in a Bell and Carlson stock)

>5 round of 168 gr FGMM at 100 yds
>>
>>28017055
The vanguard might be getting the stock modified. It throws 2 touching in one group then 3 touching into the next. I think it's due to stock pressure on the barrel because it's less apparant off a bag supporting it under the floorplate.

The 308 recently got a 20moa rail which totally fucked my cheek weld. The 2 piece bases were waaaaaay lower.

As far as I could find, only 2x 20 MOA bases were offered: an aluminum one from EGW an a steel one (from Seekins irc).

That's one of the down sides to the platform; fewer aftermarket options.

What stock do you have that's putting pressure on the barrel? Any decent composite stock is going to have an aluminum V-bed.

>tfw full aluminum chassis now

The MDT chassis is great, but FUCK is it heavy.

Any opinions on the Remington 783? I'm relatively new to firearms and after doing my homework got myself one in 7mm rem mag. Managed about an inch and a half group of 5 at 100 with it. As I improve, how far out can I expect to take this rifle? 500 yards? 800? 1000?

Pic sort of related, my meager arsenal as of now.
>>
>>28017111
The one on the vanguard is a egw and on the savage is the weaver steel iirc.

It's just the stock stock on the vg, I've looked at the mdt lss but they just don't do it for me. I think I'm just going to just take a bit out of the stock channel and reinforce it with some epoxy and maybe a steel rod. The move has been slow unpacking and my reloading setup isn't out 100% yet.

Check out the B&C Medalist Tactical at Stocky's, it's under $300 and it's got everything you could want in a stock.

Factory stocks are nothing more than a stand in to take the rifle home in most cases. I wouldn't trust them for anything.

I'd like to hit 24" steel targets at 1000 yards. I think I've been bitten by the long range bug, i'll definitely be upgrading in the future, but will my humble bargain bin bolt gun be able to ring steel at that distance or should I keep my expectations low?

Does a PSL count as a defacto AK precision rifle?
>>
>>28017239
If your doing 1.5" at 100 consistently 24 at 1000 will be doable after you learn wind. Only issue that I could see is that your vertices will start to open up more because factory ammo speeds usually have a large spread. I think some companies are starting to do the pre fit barrels for the 783 like the savage.

A ruger precision would get you to 1000 easy. Glass starts getting $$$$ though.

From that site

U.S. federal law prohibits it. We have spoken with the U. S. State Department and there is NO amount that can be legally exported without a permit. The law states that, in order to export gun parts, you need a permit and we need a permit. A U.S. Export Permit costs $2500 annually. It takes several months to get one. In other words, no export.

Gay. I'm sure there's someone out there that sells them.

>>28017239

You can re-stock and re-barrel even the most humble bargain bin bolt action into a mean machine.

1 MOA will get you to 1000 yds with most any match capable round though. What might hold you back is glass, and holding 1 MOA all day once your barrel heats up.

>>28017390

The PA is a good entry-level scope, but you'll outgrow it quickly as your skills improve.

The next tier up (and a level that most non-professional shooters stay at) will be a Bushnell Elite, Vortex Viper PST, SWFA, or Burris.

The options are bewildering, but some things you'll want to make sure you have are matching MIL/MIL (MRAD) turrets and reticle, a first focal plane reticle, and uncapped turrets. If you can fit it in your budget too, a tree-stylre reticle is also VERY handy.

Here's my recommendation if you're asking:

>HST

I've always paid the extra for a PST over the HST, but the new rifle came with an HS-T scope as a package. It's the 4-16x44 VMR.

The glass is equal in quality to the PST line, what you give up is the etched reticle, illumination, and FFP reticle.

So far it's worked well enough. I can't decide if I want to keep it or try to swap it later on.

You will know where to go from there. This build will give you a good shooter for a good price. Allows you to spend more money on range time and lowers your initial investment.

I currently found 1,000yds, but I think there's another spot where we could get out farther than that.

One question I have for my .308:
It's a Tikka 22" 1:11 twist. I just got some black hills 175SMK rounds and I plan to use the Federal Vital Shok 180gr Nosler Partitions. Both of these should stabilize fine, right?

Remington 700 AAC

>>
>>28019457

Most long range shooters are using 6mm Lapua or 6.5 cm.

As far as availability, 6.5cm has caught on like wildfire. If you have the equipment to form your own brass hand load, 260 is also a good option. It's just a 308 case necked down to 6.5

300WM is good, but don't learn on it. Barrels can last as little as 2k rounds, components are expensive, recoil is sharp, et al. It's an old, big round that's got some limitations. I use mine because I also hunt (possibly up to bear) with the precision rifle, so the extra terminal ballistics are great.

>>28019565

308 is a great learning round. Soft recoil, long barrel life, and available ammo and components are all a win.

>>28019691

SWFA, Vortex, Bushnell Elite, Burris...

>>28019691
He's right, but even the Bushnell Banner Dusk &Dawn series would be a great starting point for a lot less. When you're just starting out (testing your reloads, weather, sun, etc) having a simple crosshair makes things a lot less stressful. Get better glass when you find a load your gun likes, because it could take you a while.

>>28024470

No, there are special bullets made for precise shooting with very low BCs. They don't have great terminal ballistics for hunting. These are the Sierra Match King, Hornady A-Max, Berger VLD, et al.

There are also hybrid bullets with high BC's and good terminal ballistics, such as the Nosler Accubond. They won't be as aerodynamic as a true match bullet, but are a damn sight better than a flat bases PSP bullet.

THis is the RPR and the RapeBurban. Great for backroads.

There is no way you burnt out a .300 WSM barrele in 350 rounds. Unless it was all in one sitting, under 30 minutes.

I have to call bullshit.
>>
>>28026383

>i burned out a barrel in 350 rds with a 300wsm

That's VERY fast by any estimate. Was it stainless or carbon steel? CHF? Nitrided or anything similar? I'd be pissed if one burned out that fast on me.

>>28026402

The RPR has been a grand slam for Ruger. They really tapped into a new niche that the market obviously wanted. Younger companies like Ruger (with the RPR) and Mossberg (the MVP LC I have) have been innovating, while Remington has been sitting on its laurels.

>14 lb rifle

Bring as much rifle as is required. Anything less is a wasted trip. If you have the skills and opportunity to take a shot, and your friends can't even risk it yet, then you made the right choice.

My Remington is close to 18 lbs, but it's my primary deer rifle now. Sure, it's heavy, but it's the right tool for the job.

Now I know you are bullshitting. Its ALWAYS worth chasing the lands. I will always give the benefit of the doubt. However you are complete bullshit with your burnout in 350rds.
>>
>>28026831
Based on what?
Is your gun exactly the same as a test unit somewhere?
QL is spitting out figures of under 2k over max. Likely your rifle was lower.

>>28026831

Pressures published are assuming coal by the book, on Saami spec cased. Used brass does not have the same case capacity as Saami spec, even more so if only neck sizing.

>tfw no 6.5 magnum rifle

I have a friend selling a Sendero SF II in 264 Win mag. Kind of want.

>>28027863
No you don't. Get a 7 instead.

I dint understand how people feel they need a big magnum when they are not shooting more than 500 yards.

There is nothing gained from a 300 wmag over a 30-06 at those ranges.

But anon, I DO shoot past 500 yds.

My family farm gets out to 550, and Peacemaker NTC in WV where I go to the range has electronically scored 1000 yd lanes.

>>28030099
I was talking about the guys In general who come in looking for advice on a 300 rum for shooting whitetail at 150 yards.

Honestly in regards to your thoughts on the sendero, how much does he want for it? Up in Canada a new sendero is more than a ruger precision, and a 6.5 creed will kill game out to 500 easy, and they work fine on paper at 1000 too.

By the books your looking at an extra 250fps for an extra 25+ grains of powder

generally speaking; accurate means hitting what you aim at and precision means repeating that accuracy over & over again. hence the heavier barrels, for stringing together shots on target. not necessary for hunting though, lots of specifically long range hunters use skinny sticks and care more about having them throated right.

for example a lot of the ultra-light kimber 84 montana rifles in 7mm-08 won't, from the factory, shoot the 162 amax bullet very accurately, because it's a quite long bullet and the kimber mags are minimum length (2.81") to save weight. with the standard SAAMI 7mm-08 throat you need to seat the bullet out further to get the best accuracy (say, 2.9" hypothetically), but if you do that then the cartridges won't fit in the rifle's magazine. however if you have the rifle re-barreled or set the old barrel back a little and re-chamber it, you can load a 162 amax in empty 7-08 brass to the desired cartridge length so it fits in the magazine, send it to the gunsmith and have him cut a custom throat on the barrel specifically for a 162/7-08 at 2.8" length and then it should shoot amazingly well.

Why do you have a magnifier on a fullsize rifle scope?

I... Really?

Can someone let me know if a FN SPR A3G is a good rifle to get?
>>
>>28035042
Really. If you want more magnification then buy a better riflescope. It seems like tacticooling more than anything else.

Hey /k/, I got about a grand in disposable income for a rifle, rings, and glass. I'd prefer if it wasn't in 308 because I already have a Savage Model 99 in 308. Any suggestions?

Save more.

Something in 6.5cm like the RPR, but $1k is only going to get you the rifle if you want real precision.

I suppose I could use the money to beef up my AR or get a Tikka T3 in 300 win mag. AR is only in 556 though.

>>28035841
If your not shooting 1400+ yards or hunting past 6/700 don't waste money on a magnum.
>>
>>28035841

Here's my suggestion for a rifle:

http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/36_62_974/products_id/78076/Savage+110FCP+HS+PRECISION+300WIN

This is the cheapest I'd go on glass:

http://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-viper-hs-t-4-16x44-vmr-1-riflescope.html

Then get an EGW 20 MOA scope base, and Vortex Viper 30mm low rings.

>Precision rifle thread
Well, good a place as any to ask this

My dad has a .25WSSM that he fucking loves, killed a deer at 480+ yards a few years back with it.

Problem is, of course, that it's a .25WSSM, and ammo hasn't been in production for almost eight years now. Since ammo is all but gone, he's saving his casings and having a family friend reload them, but they won't last forever. I figured I could try to find him an at least decent replacement.

Are there any other cartridges that replicate that sort of performance in a small rifle?
>110gr .25cal at 3k fps

First thought was 6.5 Grendel, but no bolt actions chambered for it exist. Next best step would be to order a CZ527 action and get a custom barrel for it made, apparently.
>>
>>28037974

270 WSM maybe? Though it's a bit longer.

243 WSSM is also still in stock:

Out of stock, damn. This seems to be available though:

>>28038016

He did mention the .243WSSM as an alternative. I wasn't sure if it was still being produced, though.

I think half his love is for the rifle itself, too. It's a Browning A-Bolt.

I know this aint much of a precision rifle, but it's not too bad. The gun is bedded up to around the chamber area. Full-Length bed (of barrel), or should i make sure the barrel is freefloat and add a pressure pad? 26" mil profile barrel mustard race. It was originally bedded full length but i hacked it out to near the chamber area, it's Acraglass. Anyone have any experience or hearsay or even anecdotes?

if the bullet weight is all that matters plenty of cartridges will push a 100-120gr bullet super fast. also there's rumours that howa's new micro action will be doing a 6.5 grendel run next year.

Brother is trying to sell me his Browning A bolt for stupid cheap.

Havent really ever done anything with precision guns, how does the A bolt stand up to similar guns like the Remington 700 or Winchester Model 70?
>>
>>28016525
>Who takes their precision rifles hunting?
If you put the money and effort into making it, why wouldn't you take it hunting? It seems like a no-brainer to get as much mileage out of that gun as possible.
>>
>>28038373
It lacks the upgradeability of the 700 and the quality of a new or pre 64 m70
Accuracy can be hit or miss. Is it the newer and? If it is, I'd pass.

>>28039544
I'd rather take my 7 pound till in 243 than my 16 pound 308 savage. Not everyone sits in a blind over a feed plot.
