I wanted to start a project that i will start and complete when the funds allow, probably over the next year or 2.
I wanted to build/have built for me a prescision long range rifle for target/SHTF (we know the zombies are coming
), and accuracy/duribility is important to me alot, I dont want some scope that wont hold zero, or wont track.
I know as a beginner long range shooter i HIGHLY doubt i will be able to get those 1/4 MOA or 1/2 MOA groups, but want to know my rifle is capable of doing so.
I am set on getting the remington 700 action.
Should I get a rem 700 5r and go about customizing it to my hearts content, or should i start out with a rem 700 sps varmint (both in 308) and get a 5r barrel for it made up by rock creek or krieger or some other notable barrel company and customize from there?
I am interesting to turn one or the other into an M40a5 replica-ish build.
Also, as a sidenote has anyone had experience with the Vortex PST 4X16X50 FFP MOA/MOA scope?
For a grand it seems like a steal.
Is there anyone around Brockton MA that can do ceracoating and threading? I also wanted to put on the Surefire brake on the end of my stick.
I plan on putting a a5 mcmillian stock, with a badger ordinance detachable mag kit, and a timney trigger @ 2.5 lbs, is this a good idea?
I also was wondering if their is anyone around my area that can true my action and bed my stock?
Thanks in advance for advice.
