LOL!!! The rifle is actually spot on. Been impressed with it thus far.
I decided to add some creativity to the 223 Wylde trainer barrel.

I was wondering the same thing. It’s light. Got a kitchen scale on the way, I’ll update when it gets here.
So, I'm just starting to get into the precision area. I got a good deal on this new 110 Elite Precision, so I decided to go for it. I really want to build a rifle, but that will come in time as I research parts and learn more about rifles.
Put some new paint on the TRG for this year.
FN SPR and Savage 110, both reliable and fun factory rigs.
Wow
So it’s 6 lb 10 oz without the scope, rings, mag, and muzzle device
If this is against the rules please let me know!
I’m conflicted with buying another precision rifle, I know I want the Sig Cross but I’m debating 6.5 or .308 with the short barrel I’m wondering if anyone has experience or insight that could help push me one way or another.
Thank you

I think it would really depend on the distance you are wanting to reach out to. If it was out to about 750 or so, you could go with either and be happy, beyond that I've always been told that 6.5 is better. I personally like both 6.5 and 308 and would be very happy with either caliber as long as the rifle is accurate. If cost was a factor for ammo, 308 is a little cheaper and more plentiful (I have been having issues finding 6.5 locally).
I have a .308 Remington 700 Police that is very capable of reaching 800+. I’m more into the cross for size and hunting to about 600 and in, also if you need help with 6.5 PM me
Have you handled a sig cross...?
I’ve seen them in store and held one, never gotten to shoot or really get a feel. I think the style and size are what draw me to it.
Please move the talking to a different area. This is for real rifle porn not rifle jacking off under the covers.
Hahahahahaha!!!
I am reminded of some videos from Backfire. He has the Sig Cross in 6.5 CM. It is what get used most often, even for hunting. In fact, he took his son hunting in Africa and they brought down whatever it is that is similar to our antelope with one of those.

Rem XR-100 in .308. I gotta admit to having a fondness for grey laminate stocks, and this one started it.
I walked into Gander Mountain one day several years ago, and found this NiB on clearance for $600. I believe the .308 was a GM exclusive. It's on my 'Do not sell' list. I'd like to find a 2-stage trigger for it, but that's the only thing I'd change.
Currently wearing a ZCO 527 that I've sworn not to swap out.

Stole a few ideas from many of you guys on this board, now it nearly completed just needs a sling and bipod for 100% finish, for now its ready too run. When the weather warms up will get the break in done and will post up a range report.
Weighing in at 16lbs in her birthday suit, she should make for a sold and soft shooter.

Wow! What are the specs on that barrel?
It’s a Bartline 5R 1-11 #9 heavy varmint. When I got it, it was a little longer than what you see. It measures 25in from the face of the front lug too muzzle, 1.25in @ the chamber 1in @ the muzzle, I like my gurls a little thicker.
The furthest I will have too hump this rig will be from the truck too the firing line, it’s going too be a range toy paper puncher.

I love historical stuff. Thanks you for posting this and sharing with the public.
I love the Scoped Krag! I have a 1903 Marine core Rebuild that I got from the CMP pre covid. I love flipping the sights up and sending them long.
I also have been known to shoot the Garand at 500 open sights.

These are some of the loose scopes I have in one of the safes, I really need to work on getting more rifles so they'll have a home! Some interesting scopes in the photo are the 2 original Malcolm scopes at the bottom (these are from the 1870/80's and are my oldest optics) and the OPL M73B2 (top middle of the pic). And no, I'm not Flip, and those S&B's aren't for sale. Those specific scopes will be going on my clone rifles (M40A3/5/6, Mk11 Mod 1, M107 and M39 EMR) when those builds are done.

I actually did just purchased a new rifle, it's a B&T APR308S. Pretty cool rifle and very rare, there's only about 8 of them in the country. Ridiculously long silencer, I just hope it works well. This one is mine (with the silencer on and off), I still need to do Form 4 paperwork on the silencer (barrel is 16", so no SBR paperwork):

Here's a photo from the internet showing what it looks like with the silencer removed:
I bought the B&T APR308S because it's an interesting rifle and I think it will go well with the B&T SPR300 that I have sitting at my dealer waiting for tax stamps to be approved (2 stamp, SBR and silencer). This one is in .300BLK, whereas the one above is .308. Here's my B&T SPR300 at my local FFL:

I am moving one rifle out of the collection, a close friend made me an off I couldn't refuse. It's 1 of 3 Mk15 Mod 1's in private hands that actually has a legit McMillan M88 SASR PIP receiver and built to current Crane specs. Never thought I'd ever part with it, but here we are. I think this is going to be one of those that I'm going to regret in the future, but I know it's going to a great home.

One final thing for this post. Last month the gun club I'm a member at had their very small annual gun show, and I was able to set up 2 tables to display some of my vintage and modern US sniper rifles. By small gun show, I mean like 4 people with displays and an FFL seling some pistols, lol. Besides the sniper rifles I also included some archaic firearms to show the lineage from 6 centuries ago and I brought in a few other items that tied everything together. I know that DMR’s aren't a true sniper rifle (literally a designated marksman rifle), but I wanted my USMC black stock M14 DMR there because I was just extremely proud of this build and I wanted people to see it! It felt right to include it in the display and I'm glad I brought it!
This is the first time I've ever done a display like this and this is the first public appearance for almost all of these firearms (I had a USMC display last year that included 3 or 4 of the guns that I brought again this year, everything else is new to display). This is a small portion of my collection, but these are some of my most important pieces of history. I talked to tons of people and I let everyone handle these rifles, look though the scopes, dry fire them and have their photos taken with their favorite ones! It's not everyday that someone can see these original rifles, especially being able to touch them and hold them! Normally guns like these are seen in museums behind a wall of glass and you're still standing a few feet away. Some of my rifles may have gotten a few new scratches or wear, but I didn't want them to gather dust sitting in a gunsafe forever, I wanted to share them with my community and educate people who were interested about our military's sniper history. This was a truly unique opportunity for everyone who attended the gun show!
I brought all sorts of amazing original sniper rifles, some of which are extremely historically significant like my Krag sniper rifle that was used in the Army tests in 1900 that paved the way for all of our military's sniper rifles (link to the article on my rifle at the end of this post, that's my rifle in the article)! Other items on display included an original handgonne from the 1370's, an original musket from the 1570's, 2 original USMC M40's, 2 original USMC Winchester M70's, an original IBA XM3 that my sniper platoon had in Fallujah, Iraq (I'm holding this war used USMC XM3 in the photos below), and other amazing firearms. So, tons of great stuff for people to enjoy! And of course people always want to know what guns like these are worth, some guy almost dropped one of my M40's due to shock when he asked me what that specific rifle was worth and I gave him a number, lol.
I wish I could show this stuff to you guys in person, photos don't do any of these guns justice! I'm just happy to have been able to share these pieces of history with people during this event!
Here's an article on the Krag sniper rifle I brought with me and put on display. Only 2 are still known to exist, my rifle and the one in the Springfield museum! This is where US sniping started, this is the beginning of it all. Without these Krag sniper rifles and the early Army trials, who knows when we would have developed sniper rifles and what configuration they would be in. This is a great article, please take a look if you're interested in early US sniping history!

I guess since this post is already long enough, it wouldn't hurt to finish off with a few high resolution photos of my Krag sniper rifle. This is definitely a precision rifle, so it fits this thread, and it's probably the oldest "modern" precision rifle in this thread (magnifying optic, metallic cartridge)! This is my rifle, it's the rifle that's featured in the American Rifleman article linked above. My father took the below photos, the photos that are in the American Rifleman article were taken from the auction house where I acquired the rifle.

Man im building the same set up! With the high rings can you add the front sunshade without contacting the forend?
The flip cap barely contacts the forend and I have that bitch mounted all the way back. I don't think you could run the sunshade on the 5-25, it's already a long optic.
Finally got around to messing with the Tikka .223 by adding a KRG Bravo on home done camo, and a PST 2 3-15 FFP from another rifle.
Can't wait to get it out to the range!
Recently picked up this 6.5 PRC bergara and after swapping stock/chassis with my .308 700, it's having an identity crisis. Working on a scope for it, also debating switching up the KRG for a Renegade or similar.

Thanks! I got after it with some Rusto and a sponge. Wasn't too much of a challenge. I'm going to try and do a 3 color gap type camo on the other canvas here soon.

Broke out the rifles that are waiting on scopes, had to get some sun in-between range visits.
Just bought some Lapua ammunition. Then, I'll have Lapua brass ... when I manage to buy some primers.Every rifle loves LAPUA brass
