Oh my. "Tactical" "sniper rifle". With the need to have a bigger cartridge than .308.
You must be an ar15.com member. Where is the old 'hide when you need it?
For you good sir, I would recommend a Savage 110 BA in .338LM.
1- Sorry I didnt use approved lingo, didnt know you couldnt say tactical without a GD fairy losing its wings.
2 -I said tactical for a reason as I mentioned earlier in this thread. I did not want suggestions that were not going to suit me. I do want - Adjustable Check rest, Adjustable stock, lightweight chassis, Long-range round, detachable magazine, etc... I did not want to write out every feature but since I hurt your feelings, there you go. oldtime 'hide lord
3- So instead of tactical should I say - Functional, Purpose-built long range precision rifle that will make democrats lose sleep at night OR should I write an essay containing all the features I would like!?
4- yes it is going to be a god dam sniper rifle, I live in california and Im so tired of being politcally correct so quite frankly idgaf. PS > You do know that the forum is called "snipers" hide NOT "precision-riflers" hide. Just saying.
5- No, I'm not a member of ar15 forums, I dont like forums much mostly because of comments like yours, I just like to shoot and collect quality weapons that make Hilary Clinton and democrats lose sleep at night.
6 -YES I do want a round larger than 308. I already have a 308. Im not looking for a 308. I'm looking for a well-rounded collection and do not need/ want a 308. Once again comments like this are exactly what turns me off to forums.
7- If this is such a huge problem to ask such questions, than I would be more than happy to join ar15 forums if I will get quality, informed answers that dont hurt people's fragile feelings or make them feel like I'm intruding on there posse. LOL
I'm assuming you don't reload ammo currently??
Is it a rifle you'll want to shoot for extended periods of time?? Because a lighter rifle in a powerful cartridge becomes taxing after a while, not to mention the expense involved. I don't shoot my big rifles as much because the normal rifles are so more enjoyable to shoot and there's not a 3 dollar bill or worse going up in smoke with every trigger pull.
Just pointing out that using a medium sized cartridge like 6.5 Creed, with higher ballistic coefficient bullets, going 2800 fps or so, is about the same ballistics as say a 300WM, but with out the recoil and expense, and very noticeably superior than a 308 in the wind at 1000Y.
Thinking out loud, if I wanted to hike around with a rifle quite a bit, I'd want no more than a 12-13 pound rifle including scope, etc, which comes under the weight of most precision rifles we see in this forum, but our heavier rifles are heavy because they lessen the felt recoil and rifle upset in the comps we shoot, which in turn helps with self spotting.
The key is to balance everything out.
Great man, really good information. I was wondering does anyone know about 300PCR ? Saw an MPA with 300 pcr and it seems to be a pretty cool round. But yes thanks for the suggestions!
