Definitely considering upgrades down the road. Going out and dropping several thousand isn't in the budget, but grabbing a high quality barrel or other component every month or two is doable
On a budget I’ve heard the RUGER precision rifles are decent .
Probably more spread out than that due to gunsmithing
Gotcha. I would probably get a Remington 700 5R or AAC-SD in a regular stock and upgrade from there
I've heard three rpr is good but there's not as much room for upgrading
RPRs and savage 110 tacs are nice
Howa precision is also super nice
@TacticalBeard man I want to love the RPR but I handled one and it was...underwhelming
Was it
If you want a budget bolt you can upgrade the ruger Americans have a good after market
And definitely a ton lighter than the RPR
And the new ones take AICS mags
Yeah, I mean I’ve read that they hold okay groups, but nothing particularly impressive. The bolt would bind if there was any lateral pressure
Ah kk
My american is sub moa with shitty Malaysian brass
I need to do a true accuracy test with good ammo and see if I can get it closer
I borrowed an American from my uncle for a hunting trip once, seemed like a pretty nice rifle
For 300 bucks idk if you can beat it
Savages axis IIs are nice but they don’t feel as good to me
And ruger stepped up with after market, you can get upgraded handles, bolt groups, add a different trigger if you want, barrels and stocks
Magpul and Boyd’s both make stocks for the older ones to take AICS mags and the new ones come factory with them
Mine will hit plates all day long at 600, and there are guys taking the 308 stock rugers out to 1000
I wouldn't trust those rifles for 1k shots reliably, hahaha. But 600 and less, I think they hold up.
I have an axis, I think its gen 1, price of shit has trouble ejecting
The gen 1s suck
The IIs with accutrigger are a ton nicer
And yeah especially my ruger being 16” I’m honestly surprised it does so well at 600 no issues
My only complaint are the rotary mags
Mine Hs never jammed like others but it’s flimsy and cheap feeling
The 5r sounds good to start with. Apparently the stock on the aac sd can flex and contact the barrel
Interesting
Oh, is the 5r magazine fed?
Yeah, the 5R barrel is one of the most accurate production barrels I’ve shot. Yeah I think so. They can all be magazine fed fairly easily
I don't know much about precision rifles, other than I have a decent one.
Hey, whoever isnt at work right now, lets go running. 10k
get off your fat ass with me lol
Looking at the 700 magpul enhanced. It has the same barrel but a magpul stock and takes magpul detachable magazines
Plus a rail for scope mounts and a bipod mount unlike the regular magpul one
fine ill go run by myself....
That’s definitely a good option @Artemis
