    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    I appreciate the reply but I disagree. These charts were comparing 2 hot factory loads. With handloads I should be able to get 2900fps with the 230s, which puts it near 338 Lapua territory. As a matter of fact I ran the numbers and it was superior in every way besides 300lbs less energy compared...

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    Even with a muzzle brake? I was under the impression that it greatly reduced the recoil, down to almost .243 level. I would never even consider an unbraked 300 Win Mag. I appreciate the advice regardless. I've considered a 260 in the past but it's hard to argue with this much performance gain...

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    I saw those rifles and they seem pretty good. They don't interest me too much though because I've never heard of them. I don't like straying too far from the pack due to poor resale value down the road.

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    I really like the CTR but I decided that I'm definitely getting a 300 Win Mag and they don't make them in that caliber unfortunately. I will take another look at Savage because I like their triggers and I really like that you can swap barrels yourself. I guess I wouldn't do that very often...

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    Bump. I just talked to 3 reputable gunsmiths in my area and all three recommended getting a Remington 700. I was hoping one of them was just really against foreign guns, but 3 for 3 can't be a coincidence. They told me that if I ever want to get work done on a Howa I'll have a hard time because...

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    At this point I want the Model 70 the most because it's a classic, but the $300 price difference is just too much. Since the vast majority of you guys are saying the Tikka is the best anyways I'd rather put that money towards better glass. I wasn't really considering custom, but I have to say, I...

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    I'm honestly surprised that so many people are saying T3x. The Vanguard caught my eye but I heard they're not as accurate. Apparently they are all sub moa guaranteed now though as of 2017. The Winchester Model 70 is also intriguing, but I'm not sure why they don't seem recommended very much. So...

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    I recently moved to Colorado and found out there is a 1000 yard rifle range near me. Now I'm trying to decide which rifle to buy and the choices are endless. I think I'm leaning towards a Tikka T3x currently, but I want to see if there are better options out there. I don't really care how it...
