Hey all,
Sitting in the final days of Iraq and putting together my wish list when I come home. This will be my first time doing any LRS but here is what I came up with. Please feel free to add your thoughts. My budget is $3,500 to get started to include rifle, glass, bipod, and accessories. Based on trolling these forums and talking to friends this is what I came up with. I do not hunt, this is all just for fun, target/range time usage.
Rifle - Remington 5r 20in threaded barrel .308 ($1,000)
Scope - Leupold Mark 4, 3.5-10x40mm ($1,000)
Bipod - Harris HBRS 6"-9" ($125)
Suppressor - TBAC 30P-1 $1,095 +$200 Tax Stamp ($1,300)
Ok start the discussion on alternatives or better yet validate my thoughts. Of course all this goes out the window if I see something come up in the for sale section. Perhaps there is someone out there who got in entry level and is now moving up to the higher end. I will be back stateside in January looking for that deal but if not, retail I go.
Also, I am moving to the Jacksonville, FL so if any one is around there or knows of any ranges that get out to distance please let me know.
Thanks,
Ben
