Alright guys I need some help. I would like to build a 600-700 yard semi auto rifle in the near future. The reason I want to build is so I can have it exactly the way I want. For me to get the Larue the cost will continue to rise above my price range. I had been saving for the REPR but the inability to take the 10 magpul LR mags takes it out of consideration.
Here is what I have right now:
$3,000
Here is what I would like:
18" barrel in .308 that is threaded
Adjustable gas block
Nightforce or better optics (for the right rifle build I can wait on optics)
Ability to take magpul mags
Forward assist
No worse than 1 MOA
I contacted Iron Ridge arms on their matched upper/lower sets and I was told there was a wait (no problem) and the price just went up. These look awesome. BUT their price is $1,075 for the DPMS pattern which puts a hurtin on my budget. I picked up the DPMS 24" at a gunshow last weekend and geesh that thing was heavy. This rifle is lugged through the woods to target practice so it can't be too heavy.
So, what rifle would you build with the $3,000?
Thanks!
