    precision Ak???

    I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions but "$80 vs $2000 scope", "accurized saiga/no puny 223s", and "308 more accurate than 30-06?" threads all in the same day by the same guy... U trollin bro?

    Rifle Scopes $2,000 scope. WHY?!

    You can get some decent values in the $300-600 range before jumping into the car-priced stuff. But I'd hate to look through an $80 scope.

    precision Ak???

    Is it specifically 7.62x39 you're after or just something bigger than 223? If you're willing to spend money working on the AK perhaps just step up to a 308 where you would have many options (FAL, HK91, M1a, AR) and real accuracy potential. No matter how much you "accurize" an AK and no matter...

    precision Ak???

    The whole appeal of an AK is a cheap gun with loose/durable tolerances that shoots crappy ammo. You could tighten up the tolerances with new parts and shoot premium ammo. But then... Why bother?

    308. vs 30/06 accuracy.

    No difference from my experience. 30-06 slightly faster, "accuracy" the same,

    < $1500 "just works" bolt action

    Weren't the SIG SSGs around $1500? I would check those out along with the SPR. If you want an aftermarket chassis then a Tikka and swap out the factory stock... Which is crap but the rest of the rifle is beautiful.

    Isssues with Superior Tactical Solutions

    Just skimmed the thread, very sad, but needs maximum exposure. I went through a similar ordeal years ago on a custom blade. After 2 years I got an obvious harbor freight grinder job in an old shoebox. I can't imagine how $4,000+ feels. Lets keep him visible regardless of which "industry" he...

    New rifle - Blaser R8

    The R93 LRS was the rifle that made me want to build a "sniper" rifle originally. Cool stuff.

    "Barricade" 'Practice' at Home

    I nervously cycle snap caps through the action in my lap while doing excruciatingly boring computer work. It makes me feel like I'm outside or something. But man I'm quick with a bolt now.

    Savage, Tikka or Weatherby Build?

    In that case I vote Tikka.

    Savage, Tikka or Weatherby Build?

    Kind of seems like 2 different questions. Tikka is the best action out of the box, Savage can be pretty rough out of the box but great for DIY projects with its barrel system and aftermarket. I don't have much experience with Weatherby/Howa.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Clearance: Barely Enough Room for a $1 Bill?

    Uh yes... I can see that... I was asking if that's the video you were referring to.

    What is the current best .22lr?

    The CZs are a big step up from generic $100 beater 22s without going overkill and plinking at a camp ground with an Anschutz. Perfect middle ground IMO.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Clearance: Barely Enough Room for a $1 Bill?

    This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5pVya7eask Regardless of what's flexing the distance between the scope and other components is definitely fluctuating which means a little distance is a good idea.
