Re: A.R. sniper rifles
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Navygunman</div><div class="ubbcode-body">A precision rifle is a general term. In fact if you google it the first link is for a muzzleloader. This is my first day on here I'm trying to figure this site out. <span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">I'm not a computer nerd like some people on here.

I'm going to have to ask you to shut up and eat a dick, you don't come into someone's house and insult them within your first breath. if you want to talk about general terms then you should look no further than the term "sniper rifle". Ask a sniper what he carries and chances are those 2 words are not going to come out of his mouth. when you hear "sniper rifle" what is the first thing that pops into your head. probably a bolt action rifle with a scope. more than likely you couldn't tell the difference between an M40, and an M24, niether could I untill I discovered the vast wealth of knowlege that this site is. If you really want to learn.... quit running your mouth and READ. This site has more information AND expierience than you could ever imagine. As a newcomer, if you have nothing to bring to the table, then it's best if you think before you open your mouth.
Step 1: What is it that I am actually wanting to accomplish? Do I want to shoot long distance? Do I want to hunt with this rifle? Do I want to participate in 3 gun competitions? or do I just want to go to the local gun range and make a bunch of noise?
Step 2: Once you completed step 1, NOW is when you google. Find all the information that is readily available to you. What calibers actually fit into the niche your looking for. Once you pick your caliber, now move on to step 3
Step 3: How much am I going to invest in this firearm? once you set your price range, thats when you should read even more, as far as what are the options that are open to me within my guidellines.
Step 4: find as much literature, and information as you can about your specific configuration. This is where informational sites such as this one come in handy. read all the reviews that have been done on the products you are looking for. try and become a subject expert in the areas you are intrested in. (I'm not saying you have to know it all, but at least know the basics and some specifics such as what calibers are available to what platform.... AR-15 has 5.56, 6.8, 7.62x39, and so forth)
Step 5: If there is anything that you still can't figure out, or are unable to make your mind up, now is when you make your first post. That should go something along the lines of:
Hello all, new guy here, I'm intrested in (insert example here), I have read all I can find on said example and I still have questions about (insert topic here) I am looking at this platform for this pourpose and would like to know more about (insert example here). thank you for your time.
