I got a savage 10 fcp-sr for like $450 and it shoots sub moa easily with hand loads. But the bolt isnt the smoothest.

That’s all solid advice. Essentially the deal is that you can build an AR10 and bolt gun to be equally accurate, but that AR10 will be 2-3 times as expensive as the bolt gun

It kinda seems like if I dump several grand into building an ar10, i can get it down to maybe 0.5moa or a little lower, but many bolt guns do that off the shelf and only get more accurate from there

I’ve had gas guns at or under .5 MOA, and I’ve had bolt guns under .25 MOA.
Granted this is with hand loads developed for the barrel.

Question is, can you shoot well enough to tell the difference?

Obviously

“ I can shoot .25 MOA all day dude I’m such a good shot”

Just straps his guns into a fucking rig that dose everything for him but pull the trigger

I can shoot very accurately with a carbine, but I'll be seeking out classes for longer range stuff. Apparently there's a guy in state who owns a mile long range and has relatively inexpensive classes with good reviews.

Nice

At around 6 years old I was plinking golf balls from 200 yards. I'm almost 25 now

What if you’ve never shot a rifle before

Is it automatically.25 MOA?

😂

Then technically you have a perfect 0.00 MOA aim

Fuckin a

Bow down

Can't miss if you never shoot your shot 👌

lol imagine not knowing the difference between measuring inherent mechanic accuracy and field shooting

My goal is essentially to have a rifle that will hit a human sized target (say 8 inches) with enough power to put it down at at least 1,000 yards if I do my part, while still being capable of being carried comfortably. Must be mag fed, highly reliable, and shoot a caliber that's either common or easy to reload.
Right now I'm looking at 6.5 creedmoor, I just don't know much about bolt brands.

Can't be magnum calibers as the range I'll likely be learning at doesn't allow them, they'll damage the targets

Any tips on how to practice shooting and not break the bank lol

If you're practicing within 25 yards, honestly airsoft is a good training supplement if used correctly. Mainly for stuff like dry fire drills, active shooter scenario training, and switching targets. Extremely cheap to fire compared to bullets, but you absolutely must train with real firearms too.

Airsoft is great to practice team movements and firing together without risking shooting each other. And it can be good excersize too. Of course, like Confused said. You need to shoot and train with your actual rifle too.

Hmm actually this place doesn't mention magnum calibers but i know a lot of places don't allow them on steel

Dry fire @[CA] SoyBoi

MSP has some pointers on it

@Artemis when someone actually has goals and a requirement for their build 😍

They actually have really nice blowback airsoft gums

Electric blowback is decent but GBB is realistic as fuck apparently

I have a couple GBB pistols and they’re amazing

One shot drills are great for reloads since you only shoot one bullet between magazine changes

I wanna try paintball for more active training

Dry fire as well as live fire obviously

Even just holding position or practicing getting the rifle into position doesn't require shooting.

I start all builds with a purpose. It sorta comes with my maximizer nature. Even the grip on an ar has to be hand selected

Air soft gets you more lifelike manual of arms training but Jfc air shit culture is trash

Paintball is dying but airsoft has guns that feel and manipulate exactly the same as real guns

Paintball is a lot more chill in my experience

You can still practice tactics the manual of arms is just different

And what’s up my fellow okie

Just dry fire your actual guns sheesh

I can’t do that pointing at other people though
