All kinds of precision and long range shooting welcomed, from .22lr to 50 BMG.
Let's see the glass and rifles out there.
>>29808881
A few weeks back I got my precision AR recrowned, and it's back to 1 MOA (or under with match ammo)
>>29808881
bump
>>29808898
So does this count, then?
>>29809350
Not bad. Is it a legit Colt 3x?

Sure as fuck not getting that Leapers shit.
>>29809388
yo MSD you asked me for a list
well i want a Colt 3x scope for my 733 clone
>>29809442
Nigga...
>>29809451
hey I like good shit, sue me
>>29809456
I was thinking some small shit that was only made a pain in the ass to get because of ITAR.
What's my take from this senpai?
>>29809472
i know
just had to try it pham
>>29809481
Bruh, you're lookin' at some serious compensation here. Hit me.
>>29809496
yeah well what do you want ?
can't send you real goats, customs wouldn't like that
>>29809500
Bitch you specifically mentioned a bonus, I ain't sourcing a Colt 3x20 and sending it all the way to Hitler Land without seeing some shit coming my way too, feels me?
>>29809533
I am asking you what amount of cut you want
you're the providing partner, you determine how much
if I say 10% you can either accept or decline or whatever
it's your ass in got prison
>>29809546
>got prison
fuck, wanted to make a goat prison joke but whatever
>>29809546
I dunno senpai, I gotta start looking up how to even ship that shit over...or if it's legal.
>>29809559
>or if its legal
the great goat in heaven doesn't mind
hell i got all kinds of government regulated nobody sane would ship
>>29809559
Legality looks good to go. If I can find a potential 3x20, I'll link it and you can give a (dis)approval. There -is- this inverted post one that's been collecting dust on Jewbay for months.

I thought you died! Was out teaching a guy from work how much fun it is. Converting liberals up here in canada is hard work.
Had him hitting rocks out to 400 with the vanguard 223. He's hooks

Apparently there is this bit from FedEx's snapshot of Hitler Land's shipping regulations;
>The following items are not acceptable for carriage to any international destinations unless otherwise indicated.
>5. Firearms, weaponry and their parts
>and their parts
That part has me worried.
>>29809727
it's a spotting optic for nature observation
no firearm anything there

I'll be making some calls. :^
>>29809782
much appreciated man
>>29808881
It's about God damn time. But seriously, I thoroughly enjoy these threads.
>>29809867
Worst thing about these threads is that they die too fast because 90% of /k/ is ar/ak/pistol (the hasguns part anyway) ours is an expensive game compared to buying some $600 ar and tossing a $150 red dot on it.

>A fine of up to $1,000,000 or up to ten years in prison, or both, for each violation.
Not worth it. A shitty 3x scope is not worth possibly becoming a felony. Prison is horrible.
>>29812139
Thats on the extreme wnd covering current military tech. Outdated stuff they are looking at probably aroind 10k and 6 months
>>29812151
Source?
I have read that ANY violation is the above penalty. They don't discriminate whether it's a rifle or a scope or a bipod.
>>29812165
Search "bo cai itar"
Just a sample. What you posted was maximims per charge
>>29812196
why on earth would you test the Federal government on ITAR in this day and age.
chances are they will fuck you and you will get prison. also a felony. No guns.
>>29812139
Fuck if ANYTHING gets that idiotic, obnoxious fucking tripfag off this board for 10 years, it's a good idea.

I have and I still use and use at least 10 shot groups....
Right picture on the bank of the right is 7 rounds of Mod 262 at 200 yards.
>>29813798
Up next is the newer Variant with Sierra TMK's..
>>29808881
You're alive, nice to see you faggot.
>>29812214
just wait till the government bans youtube gun videos again because of ITAR and made up bullshit videos
maybe then you'll consider thinking it's a bogus law
>>29813798
>use at least 10 shot groups
Why the fuck...
Testing new .300 magnum loads.
>>29815553
>300wm
My personal favorite hunting round.
>>29808881
not very long range but it is precision

What makes a good 1000yd rifle? What makes a good 1000yd shooter?
>>29818361
>What makes a good 1000yd rifle?
A 1 MOA rifle in a cartridge that won't go trans sonic in that distance
>what makes a 1k yd shooter
practice and training. Shooting position, trigger control, proper rests, cheek weld, etc.

Considering getting the RPR in 6.5 creedmoor as my first foray into precision shooting.
Two questions. Is it worth getting 6.5 creedmoor over .308? I've heard alot of talk either way but I've already done alot of .308 hand loading.
Second question, is the RPR itself worth it? Everything I've read suggests it's an excellent budget precision rifle considering all the features you get, but I don't know many other platforms to look at as alternatives to compare against
>>29818634
If you hand load, yes 6.5 creed is great, but as you already have the die , no shame in the 308 game.
as to the rpr. If you looking for an out of the box pretty good rifle , do it. Barrel life has been reported to be short. ( had to make sacrifices to make the price point)
Personally Howa 1500 threaded action or sAvage action, and chassis.
OR savage 12 LRP for the same price range as the RPR with better barrel.
>>29818634
even with a 175 gr bullet, 308 is pushing every envelope at 1k yds.
If you really want to be shooting at that range specifically, I'd get the more dedicated 6.5cm
If you want to do a lot of plinking at closer ranges, like 800 yds or less, then 308 might be more cost effective.
>>29818685
>>29818693
Cool, thanks for the replies.
Also, is building my own rifle a more cost effective way of getting a nice long range platform? Before looking into the RPR, I looked into building my own rifle. I didn't really know what to look for though, so I have no idea if I could reasonably expect to get a nicer rifle than an off the shelf one at a similar price point. To add to that, I don't mind the idea of a project rifle at all
>>29818862
If you caan find a donor action savage (top release) and dont mond investing in some tools you could build something nice
In rpr price range. Otherwise its hard to beat.
>>29818862
here is my build.
Howa 6.5 creedmoor barrelled action from Brownells $435 shipped
MPA Lite Chassis for $699
scope base $54
Ring $60
All told $1248 with transfer.
scope is SWFA 3-15, and i am using an atlas bipod i already have.
RPR can not be found near me for less than MSRP , and the 6.5 is MSRP+
>>29819086
Sounds like a really nice setup.
I had a 20" Howa 1500 Targetmaster in 308 WIN that I dropped in a Bell & Carlson stock, and it shot amazing.
>>29819126
That was the way i was thinking of going,
All told , with a B&C medalist with adjustable LOP and riser it would have been about $ about $1000.
If you go with the non adjustable B&C medalist stock, you can build a kick ass howa 1500 for $700.
>>29818862
Yes you can.
depends on how much work you want to do.
if you fine a Used savage action at a pawn shop or online for a good price buy is, then buy a drop in savage replacement barrel from any number of good barrel companies.
Toss it into the stock/chassis of your choice.
Another option is to buy a factory barreled action and go from there.
>>29815518
I use 5.... because that is what my magazine holds.
>>29818361
Measure chamber depth to rifling and hand load to chamber length, Helped my accuracy improve quite a lot. Most factory loaded ammunition is shorter including "match" grade ammo to fit a wide variety of guns.
>>29819549
Details on that rifle?
>>29819549
What kind of tools am I going to need to graduate from putting cheap bulk-manufacture Russian ammo through my AKs to putting custom ammunition through a custom rifle and measuring everything with precision and accuracy?
>>29820554
Torque wrench (in/lbs)
Single stage press kit.
>>29820554
Calipers, precision (.1gr at least) scale, single stage press kit, calibers, tumbler or ultrasonic cleaner.
That's basically what you need to get started, many good kits to choose from. Personally I got an RCBS kit 12 years ago & ive been loading ever since, graduated to a progressive press (LNL) last year.
>>29821370
A torque wrench for reloading??
>>29819086
>>29819126
Damn are you guys me? I found a beater Howa 1500 chambered in 30.06 from Turners for like 200.
Had it rebarreled with an ER Shaw Barrel and a Manner's Composite Tactical Stock from StockyStocks. Threw in a timney trigger and it's an amazing rifle. Heavy as a pig no doubt about it, but good lord is it a blast to shoot.
>>29821770
for making sure the action/barrel/stock/optics are all put together properly i'm guessing, nothing too loose or too tight
>>29817279
What program is that?

Just recently acquired a CZ452 with what appears to be some dinky 4 or 6X fixed power scope. Seems to work so far, will be taking it out shootin' this weekend hopefully.
How far out can I reliably hit something with, say, CCI or Winchester Bushman rounds?
>>29821770
As stated. Torque wrench for rifle. To make sure everything is snug to spec.
For reloading as others have stated. The only tools you need out side of what would come with an rcbs or hornady kit ( hornady has a new press kit for precision shooting) are calipers ( igaging is what i recommend. Unless you have mitutoyo calipers)
I would also recomend a hornady OAL tool. You screw a special case to it. Add a bullet , then put it into your action. It allows for very accurate measurement of your freebore so you can easily load the ammunition to the correct length.
>>29823289
200yrds you should be able to hit a cricket ball consistantly.
>>29823317
Or tennis ball
>>29823317
Cheers, any tips on shooting techniques? Plan to help a few buddies out in about 2 month's time with some pest control (mostly roos), using one of their "well worn" .223's or .308's.
Not the greatest shooter, only shot a few times. .22's feel fine to control, but anything bigger feels like I'm just throwing lead downrange and not really aiming it even though I'm controlling my breath, resting on the bench and only squeezing the trigger.
>>29823392
Remember BRASS (Breath, Relax, Aim, Shoot)
Find a comfortable position where you can hold a rifle still and consistently hit in the relative same area. YouTube shooting techniques and watch how they hold their rifles. The biggest thing is not flinching, since after you pull the trigger you have to hold the rifle still until the bullet leaves the barrel
The hardest thing about shooting and shooting well is being consistant. Work on setting up the shot the exact same way each time.
Same grip , stance, same cheek.weld, anme sight picture, same trigger press.
>>29821822
Howa is the best kept secret in budget precision. Out of the box they have a machined recoil lug, pinned barrel, and the barrel is cold hammer forged.
And they've got a damned decent aftermarket to boot.
