Waiting on 2014 AX chassis?
Wow, this is one big AI circle jerk in here. I can't believe how many people are running to their defense without even knowing what happened. Simply because delays are commonplace in this industry doesn't mean we shouldn't expect better. When you have executives for your company on camera...- Boltergeist

Welcome! Can't provide much help myself, as another newb, but hopefully a little activity in this thread attracts some attention.- Boltergeist

Thoughts on a custom build for a newb...
Don't 7mm projectiles have better BC than 6.5 though? This may not be the case, but it seems to be what I've seen in most of the charts I've seen. I'm not really after the cheapest round to reload. Don't need to spend $1 per round, but I'm not afraid of 50 cents or so. On a side note, if I...- Boltergeist

Hey guys, new to the forums, and rifles for that matter. Just thought I would check out the local threads. Currently planning my first rifle purchase for next spring. On that note, anyone have any suggestions for local ranges and distances they offer? Saw that Gopher Rifle and Revolver has...- Boltergeist

Thoughts on a custom build for a newb...
While I don't have a lot of rifle experience, I do know that I can handle a .308. I have been shooting pistol and shotgun for a number of years. I am considering some smaller calibers now that I may buy something that I plan on replacing sooner. For some people though, shooter the larger...- Boltergeist

Thoughts on a custom build for a newb...
You are correct in assuming my rifle experience is fairly limited. Really haven't gone any further than 100 yards. I have been leaning closer to a more basic rifle and a better optic as of late, so that may be what wins out. What are your thoughts on the 700 Long Range? Seems as though the...- Boltergeist

Not at all opposed to used and have been keeping an eye on the sale section. Would be pretty surprised to find a pre-built rifle that I like everything about, but have have seen actions, optics etc. Thanks for the tip!- Boltergeist

Thoughts on a custom build for a newb...
Wow! Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will try to address the above questions. Budget is around $4000 for the rifle, including optics. This also doesn't include other needed accessories for shooting, hand loading etc. Obviously I won't be shooting out to 1000m right away, but I do...- Boltergeist

Thoughts on a custom build for a newb...
Thanks for the input. Just curious, are you suggesting the other two caliber's because they are less expensive, or is there a different reason? Can you do .260 in a long action? I'd prefer to go that route, if possible. Also, are you saying that the two optics I'm leaning towards aren't...- Boltergeist

Just looking to get a few thoughts on a build I am considering. This will be my first rifle. I will be using this solely for killing paper terrorists. No hunting. Before anyone says anything, I know that this is overkill for a newer shooter. My thoughts are that I would like to get a rifle...- Boltergeist
