> @American_AF so you have the RUGER 5.7 and the FN5.7 how do they compare
@TacticalBeard Unfortunately the 503
So thoughts on precision shooting. Ar-10 vs bolt action? I'm looking to dip my toes in a bit but I don't know anything about long range shooting. I was considering building an ar10 but it sounds like it'll never be as accurate as a bolt action rifle.
Bolt action
All day
Granted you can build some ar10 to perform as a bolt action
Idk that just my opinion
For anyone with experience with bolt guns, do you have any recommendations? I understand it seems you can't just assemble one like an ar, they seem like they have to be built / modified by a competent Smith
Remington 700 is what I’ve had
Me too. I sold my .270 but I'm thinking of picking up another 700 in .308
I've read that Remington has seriously dropped their quality control. Would it be better to buy parts and have it built in the Remington 700 style without Remington components?
Oh, that's an idea
Or are there other brands that are higher quality? I don't want to jump in buying parts and make a mistake
Reading decent things about tikka
Yea I was just about to say Tikka lol
But I haven’t heard of Remington having bad QC. I got mine prob 4 years ago now.
I got it off armslist and it performed perfectly
I’ve also have the savage axis I
II*
I loved that thing
@Artemis Get a tikka
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
