    Budget of around $1500 for my first .308 rifle

    Re: Budget of around $1000 for my first .308 rifle Slight update... paid for a used 5-25x PH from the for sale forums here. I was almost committed to getting an AICS 1.5 and placing a Remington 700 5-R in there. After all is said and done... it'd be about $1500. But I've been told to save...

    Realistically... what accuracy should I expect?

    Re: Realistically... what accuracy should I expect? Thanks for the input. I was just wondering what capability the rifle had. I figured such a rifle would be 1/2 moa, but wasn't sure if it was even better than that and touching 1/4 moa.

    Realistically... what accuracy should I expect?

    AICS 1.5 stock Krieger match .308 Surgeon RSR action I'm curious because for about $2300, I can get a rifle custom built with 1/4moa guarantee. It just won't have a custom action (trued remington 700) or an AICS stock (M40A1). This build would be similar in cost and have more "preferable"...

    Is there a really noticeable difference...

    Re: Is there a really noticeable difference... Thank you for making me aware of the different contour on the SPS Stainless. How much could I make back by selling the 5R's stock? This will be used 99% of the time at the range so weight is of no concern. I plan on shooting at distances of 600...

    Is there a really noticeable difference...

    Going to get my first precision rifle setup as I mentioned in my other topic. Just wondering if there is even a really noticeable difference for spending more money or if it gets to a point of diminishing returns. Proposal #1. ~$1250 Remington 700 SPS Stainless put in an AICS 1.5 stock...

    Budget of around $1500 for my first .308 rifle

    Re: Budget of around $1500 for my first .308 rifle Thanks for all the advice thus far. As intriguing as the Savage is, I'd still prefer to go the Rem700 route. I'm very interested in the AICS 1.5 stocks. They seem to go for about $800, but I like how they don't require bedding. I was...

    Budget of around $1500 for my first .308 rifle

    Re: Budget of around $1000 for my first .308 rifle I edited my first post/topic title. I was thinking about selling one of my Glocks since I almost never fire it anyways. I will definitely spend at least $1000 on a rifle and am considering putting the new money towards my rifle purchase so...

    Budget of around $1500 for my first .308 rifle

    I've got a total of around $4000 saved up for my first precision rifle setup. I plan on spending about $2200-$2400 on an optic... preferably a USO. That leaves around $1500 for the rifle. I was thinking a Remington 700P would be a pretty good rifle to start off with, but what rifle would you...

    $8000ish is the budget.

    Re: $8000ish is the budget. I may not have as much experience as a ton of others here, but I'd go with the Barrett. If you're worried about a ban coming and want the Barrett someday... get it now!!! You can always get a precision .308 some other day.

    How to mount a scope on a Savage MarkII F?

    Re: How to mount a scope on a Savage MarkII F? Is there a difference between 3/8 dovetail and rimfire rings? It seems my options are to get a ring off the internet, pay a gunsmith $60 to drill/tap before buying base/rings, or buy a base that mounts to it and then rings. It's obvious that...

    How to mount a scope on a Savage MarkII F?

    Re: How to mount a scope on a Savage MarkII F? Ugh... going nuts. I'm pretty sure they are the 3/8 dovetail grooves. Took my rifle and scope to numerous gun stores and apparently it can take dovetail and small weaver rings. Problem is... my Nikon 3-9x is a 50mm objective and even the high...

    Rifle Scopes Help me choose between Swarovski, USO, NF

    Re: Help me choose between Swarovski, USO, NF I'm in the exact same boat that you're in. I would like to spend $3000 or less for a illuminated mil/mil FFP scope. Here's what I've gathered in my research... S&B Positives: Seems to still be the best that you can buy. Negatives: Cost and...

    How to mount a scope on a Savage MarkII F?

    http://www.savagearms.com/markiif.htm It looks just like that except that it doesn't have any bases on it. It does have two parallel grooves that run on both sides of the barrel next to where the brass gets ejected. Are those grooves meant to mount a scope? Doesn't seem like it would be too...
