I'll also check the pawn shops when I'm ready to buy the rifle. Seems all they carry are fudd guns around here

@GRANITE Not friends with, just messed around with him and his GF in comments sections a few times. Had his GF threaten to taze me once and said I wasn't invited to her house.

2020-05-05 00:50:08 UTC  

ddt nikon stop making scopes

2020-05-05 00:51:24 UTC  

This thing looks interesting. Apparently holds 0.5 moa. I wouldn't get the cf barrel version though since i don't trust it

2020-05-05 00:52:42 UTC  

For a 16" barrel, .5 MOA? Nice.

2020-05-05 01:00:06 UTC  

22"

2020-05-05 01:01:38 UTC  

Oh is it 22? I was on their site..

2020-05-05 01:02:00 UTC  

Ooooh, yeah. There it is.

2020-05-05 01:02:05 UTC  

There are a 16" or 22"

2020-05-05 01:02:16 UTC  

Wait, and 27"

2020-05-05 01:07:51 UTC  

They also make carbon fiber stocks for the 700

2020-05-05 01:15:48 UTC  

Sorta eh though, shave a pound off the magpul stock

2020-05-05 01:28:17 UTC  

@Artemis I wound go read the snipers hide forum thread on that

2020-05-05 01:44:32 UTC  

Yeah that's a no from me dawg

2020-05-05 01:44:42 UTC  

Not getting a Christensen arms

2020-05-05 01:45:35 UTC  

Just gonna go with a magpul 700. Maybe some day when I'm good enough with it to warrant it, I'll have a fancy barrel put in like a krieger or something

2020-05-05 01:54:36 UTC  

So, SHTF, what to do with guns i can't carry?
I dont wanna leave them puppies, but realistically I could carry a rifle and pistol on me with a backpack on

2020-05-05 01:55:51 UTC  

If you have close friends and family who you don't want dying, you could lend them

2020-05-05 02:14:49 UTC  

I mean, cache them somewhere real good? Bury them or something?

2020-05-05 03:30:31 UTC  

Doing some reading about tikka and it kinda seems you get more for your money than the remington 700 with a decent aftermarket too

2020-05-05 03:31:14 UTC  

Tikkas are great rifles from everything I've heard.

2020-05-05 03:31:55 UTC  

this has me convinced

2020-05-05 03:32:00 UTC  

Remington 700s are overhyped. Everyone wants them because it's what the military adopted, and then their prices raised. Good rifles, but overhyped.

2020-05-05 03:32:15 UTC  

If you have the money, Tikka is a good choice.

2020-05-05 03:32:41 UTC  

I went with the Mossberg MVP Precision, because it's still sub-MOA and I liked the furniture and stock better than the Ruger Precision.

2020-05-05 03:36:22 UTC  

It looks like the tikka t3x is about the same price, sometimes cheaper, but shoots .25-.5 moa

2020-05-05 03:36:31 UTC  

with what people seem to say is a better action

2020-05-05 03:36:52 UTC  

I may replace the stock later so it's no big deal to me

2020-05-05 03:37:53 UTC  

Wait, how much are Tikkas these days?

2020-05-05 03:38:00 UTC  

I was used to seeing them for around 2k

2020-05-05 03:38:52 UTC  

they have models that are 2k with fancy stocks but the one that the picture above is from costs right at about 1k

2020-05-05 03:39:23 UTC  

Oh nice. Yeah, that's a good price.

2020-05-05 03:39:40 UTC  

For that kind of MOA that is, haha.

2020-05-05 03:39:57 UTC  

but even that is with an upgraded stock. Their cheapest non-lightweight variants run about 800

2020-05-05 03:41:05 UTC  

Not bad. Yeah, the MVP Precision is also a .5 MOA gun, but MSRPs around 1400. But you can grab them for around 1Kish.

2020-05-05 03:41:18 UTC  

Closer to 1200, but still.

2020-05-05 03:50:51 UTC  

mostly factory, minus the rail, scope, and I'm assuming muzzle device
