    $2000 to spend. Which of these setups?

    I'm finally getting some money saved up for my first precision rifle setup. I plan to have about $4000 saved up in the end, but I'd like to spend $1800-$2400 on it on either a used or new Nightforce FFP 3-15x or even a used S&B or Premier off the For Sale section here. Setting aside $150-$250...

    Sako TRG22 or custom?

    I had thought about getting a custom rifle made using a custom action based on the Rem 700. My budget would be around $2400-$2600, and I had almost decided on going with a McMillan A5, Bartlein barrel, and Surgeon action. Then I was told to check out the Sako TRG-22. After googling around, it...

    Which Remington 700 if I'm going to swap out stock

    I'll be trying out a McMillan A-5 and an AICS 1.5 stock soon, but I'm looking to pick up a Remington 700 of some type to put in the stock. Since I won't be using the stock anyways, which Remington 700 should I get? I don't plan on shooting all the way out to 1000 yards that often so even 20"...

    .50BMG, .338 Lapua Magnum, hmm?

    I'm thinking about either getting a custom .308 rifle, a .338 lapua magnum, or a .50BMG. Not trying to start any cartridge wars, but what are the plus/minuses for the .50BMG and LM? It seems like they both cost $4-$5 a shot, and are both capable of 1000+ yard distances with ease. From what my...

    $8000ish is the budget.

    Rifle Scopes Noob questions about high end scopes/reticles

    First off... the only scope I have is a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x50mm. I'm now sorely tempted to buy a high end scope, but I'm trying to narrow it down based on my needs. (Blowing accurate holes into paper) Is it just me, or do PH and S&B's reticle choices seem to be oriented towards tactical...
