Hey, I'm new to the form and I thought I should post a pic of my new rifle I just put together. I'm currently a college student on a internship at Remington Arms in Ilion NY. I tried making a sniper rifle and this is what I came up with that wasn't out of my price range. So far I've gotten a 0.55 inch group at 200 yards.

camoman, sniper rifles are used by snipers....tactical rifles are used by all....just sayin....
 
Re: New Member / New Rifle Build

I used the rings that came with the scope and it has a 35mm tube. I looked online and didn't really find many other rings that would sit any lower for such a big main tube. But the eye relief and everything seem to be good for me
 
Re: New Member / New Rifle Build

I posted a pic of the 3 shot group above. I measured the group from the centers on the holes not the outer edges. Not sure how I was supposed to measure it. Some people say outsides others centers.

Re: New Member / New Rifle Build

welcome to the hide, you should hook a fellow New Yorker up with an action or two

I'd look into getting some lower rings so you'll be able to get a more solid cheek weld, also really should be a 5 to 10 shot groups not three.

Overall though, I'd say you're off to a good start and keep up the good work.

You obviously didn't look at Seekins Precision, TPS or IOR. That scope is WAY too high unless you have a face shaped like McDonald's Moon Man

The Millet LRS has a 35mm tube and that's what that scope looks like.
 
Re: New Member / New Rifle Build

that is a millett setup with the rings they supply, I had the same issue still looking for a set of rings but its ridiculous how high that thing sets and its the only set millett has available
 
Re: New Member / New Rifle Build

Thanks for the rings info. I'd like getting lower sitting rings but I think I'm all set for a little while (save some money). I'm going to work on 5 shot groups more. The three shot group I posted was my second set for shotting at 200 yrds. I'm just starting out and everything. Yes, my scope is a Millet LRS Illuminated. I love it so far and dont seem to have any problems with it.
 
Re: New Member / New Rifle Build

Nice to have you here, its always great to have more people getting in to shooting sports, we are a dying breed...shitty.

get going, shoot a lot, and read up around here, in between the trash talk and funny jokes there is a TON of good info here for even the most experienced shooters and professional snipers. I have learned tons from these guys, to advance my career, and my general shooting knowledge.

Use all the resources you can while you're at Remmy, that's a hell of an internship a lot of folks would do anything for.
