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...

Re: Spare Rifle Parts Build (pics) Nice! But.... you had a BCM upper and bcg just lying around? Wow! lol

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...

Re: Budget of around $1000 for my first .308 rifle Just wondering... is the barrel quality for a 700P or 5-R far superior to that of a SPS Tactical? (Like comparing match barrel to regular?)

Re: Which Remington 700 if I'm going to swap out stock Alright... so it's between SPS Tac and 5R now. I can get a SPS Tactical from Budsgunshop for $560ish... I can get a 5-R for $1000ish. How much can I get back from selling the stocks for the SPS Tac compared to the 5-R? Is the only...

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"...

Re: scope comparison spread sheet USO are almost $1000 too high on that chart. Give USO a call or send them an email, and they can give you an accurate realworld price.

Re: I really need help narrowing down my choices. Sigh... I wish people posted behind the scope pictures using these different scopes... BUT were placed in the same rest/vice and were aimed at the same object with the same magnification. Seems like it'd be a simple way to show what...

Re: I really need help narrowing down my choices. Ya, I noticed and am considering that MPR reticle too. Just kind of shocking to me that only USO has a reticle that have hash marks at anything less than 0.5mil intervals. The only thing that worries me about USO is that I've seen several...

So I'm looking to get a scope that is roughly mil/mil 5-25x with an objective size of around 56-58mm. It seems the only high end candidates are USO, S&B, and Premier. I have never personally handled any of these scopes, so I have no idea which knobs I would prefer. If one were to not care...

Re: My Tac Ops X-Ray 51 is here!!! Can't decide if I prefer the black/green birdsong on the X-Ray 51 or if I prefer the all black birdsong on it.

Re: $8000ish is the budget. lol, just when I had my mind almost made up, several guys recommend the Barrett now. D'oh! Hmm... with a Barrett I figure I'd probably just shoot no more than 40 rounds a month. (Probably take it out once or twice a month as I only go shooting once every 2 weeks...

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...

Re: $8000ish is the budget. Thanks for the fast replies and honest opinions. I'm in no big hurry to get a custom rifle as I have other great guns to shoot while waiting. Not trying to start any animosity/fighting but uhh... what's the difference between a Surgeon actioned GAP and a Surgeon...

Re: $8000ish is the budget. Ok, you guys have me convinced. Gonna go with the custom .308. I guess a couple years down the road I can pick up one of the "heavier" calibers since I don't even know the major benefits/negatives of .338LM vs .50. Seems like there are a ton of guys here backing...
