Intended use: target shooting ,long range 1000 yds.
Budget:high 10k-12k
Have not reloaded but could do so if needed
Definitely the 6.5 Creedmoor if you don't reload. Excellent ammo available at good prices.
For the rifle and scope I would look in the for sale section here on the Hide. You can find excellent deals. Just because you have 10-12K to spend doesn't mean you have to. Find a good deal on a rifle and scope and then pick up a coupe thousand rounds of ammo and go shoot.
Agreed.
It would be foolish to spend 10k+ on a first rifle arrangement.
A nice little 223 with a solid scope can be had for under 2k. Ammo is inexpensive and readily available.
Once this guy gets fully "bit" by the bug, he can go drop the 10k on high end premium stuff. He'll still be happy he has his .223
Maybe he'll find he doesn't enjoy the hobby, or can't make time for it, in which case he'll be better off having only sunk 2k into it rather than 10k.
This is retarded, he wants to spend $10-12k on a 6.5 and somebody tells him to spend $2k on a fucking 223... My guess is if he can afford to drop that kind of coing he's not hurting for cash.
From a financial standpoint what is a more wise decision:
1. Spend $5500 on a AX 6.5 creed at mile high which he can almost certainly always recoup his cash or come within a couple hundred bucks.
Or.
2. Spec out a custom rifle, wait 6 months, and lose $1-2k right off the bat if he wanted to sell it. Custom rifles don't hold their value at all compared to AI's, look at the classifieds...
If you're smart with your purchases you can recoup your cash.
I have a AW AI ,.308, that after another course 2 yrs ago that got me out to 1000 yds, at BW.
