Yea you can put a 1913 rail on there
Have you checked armslist?
I just briefly checked OK and there are some nice precision rifles on there
While looking around it seemed like it would be more optional to mount it directly. At least according to the spuhr website
Haven't looked yet but I won't be buying the rifle for a few months anyway
I’d check it out there’s a couple really good deals right now
Here’s a Tikka
Yeah, everyone and their dog has a 308 bolt action around here
Lmao yea same with up here
That’s what I love about armslist. You can find incredible deals. People that have to move shit quick
And the ones willing to do a BOS...can’t beat that
If the price is right I may be willing to go 308 instead of 6.5
I thought that’s what you wanted?
308?
I'd like to have something that, perhaps with the right barrel and load, can make a mile with the right person behind it, as that's as far as the ranges around here seem to go. Basically trying to get the most bang for my buck in a single rifle that I can learn with, so the two calibers that can do that while still being common enough are 6.5 creedmoor and 300 win mag. 300 is a bit hot and isn't allowed at some ranges, so 6.5 is the best all around option for me.
Damnnnnn you guys have mile ranges there?
That way if i move up from the 600-1000 yard classes to longer range shooting, I won't have to buy another rifle
Yeah there's one that i know of
Well if that’s the case then yea you should sit back and wait and make sure you spend more on glass than the rifle
Or get the rifle. Put something on it that’s good for that 600-1000 range. Practice that and save for the top glass
I had no problem hitting 629 with my 556
And it was just a 3-9x40 Nikon p223
So I'm looking at the Remington 700 in 6.5 because it's good enough to start with but has enough parts support to easily get a barrel that can do a mile. I'll be buying the optic first though as it's probably going to be more expensive, and more important
Sure will be
The 700 is a great choice
But like I said
If you want to get that first and something to go on top that will put you in the shorter range for a bit so you can save for the top glass that wouldn’t be a bad route to go either
That way you have a rifle
If you don’t already have any
If you already have guns then yea just go the way your saying
I often hear that the 700 is overpriced for the package you get.
I had one 4 years ago
After all, Remington kinda went down the shithole over the past few years with QC
By the time i have enough experience, i may need to change the barrel anyway lol.
I don't really have anything I could put on it and don't wanna spend the extra money.
Then it was good I havent been in the DMR in a bit
That’s what confused was saying earlier
I didn’t even know that
I had mine in 2015
I went big on my first rifle, and then made the mistake of getting a cheap scope, haha. It works... I guess, it's just I don't do MOA, and I got it because it was a mildot reticle, but the turrets were MOA.
