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

It's out in the middle of nowhere an hour from me

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.

I considered the qc thing but it has the best aftermarket

So I can't effectively use it without too much math.

It does have a really good aftermarket.

So if you were gonna get it, and use it to build from, then it's decent I guess.

I went with a Mossberg MVP Precision rifle.

Yea I was telling myself I was going to get a DMR for my next purchase but I bought that M6 IC DI instead lol

🤷‍♀️

Which I’m very happy with

I made a 20" AR off of a Aero upper for my 'DMR', but I might make a new one in the future and use a 18" .308 barrel instead.

Let your gun grow into the glass not the glass into the gun

Or in layman's terms, buy good glass one time and build the rifle to fit it

Yep, I learned that afterwards.

I've learnt that the hard way as well

Well, I already told Leopold Optics that my next LR glass purchase will be through them, haha.

I told them I'd buy from them if they got Daddy Thumb to do an advertisement for them, and of course they tagged him and I in the same post, and he agreed.

Haven't seen said ad yet... but I'm waiting to see it.

For the more budget minded out there, Nikon is a great alternative to the super high end stuff, not as much variety but what they do have is pretty solid

Oh yeah, heard great things about their glass. After all, they make cameras.

Sparrow your friends with Daddy Thumb?
