Best practical DIY civilian sniper?

[Sniper101]

What is the best DIY rifle out there that enables the shooter to maintain and alter by himself the most?

The AI series of self changing barrells in under 4mins stands out for me, the face that you can change the barrel BY YOURSELF without having to wait 2 months after sending it to a gunsmith is amazing!

Any thoughts...

You answered your own question

I would suggest changing your title to something less likely to get you roasted.
Maybe something like Best practical DIY target rifle

That being said the current AI system and especially the AXMC is very hard to beat if you want quick barrel & parts change with minimal tools as well as allowing you to reconfigure the rifle for a different caliber in minutes.

This guy is about to get torched... Getting my popcorn!

I use a DT SRS. Love changing barrels out so easy. And it is so compact. It's one hell of a sniper rifle lol

A lot more reading prior to posting would be a start. Then again we need another troll,...

I’ve been really wanting one. But seeing as I don’t want any of the normal chamberings offered (how boring) and my desire to use it for barrel burners makes it a pretty hard pill to swallow when I’m already pretty set for the most part other than just buying for curiosities sake.

There is no reason to think you are stuck with "normal" chamberings. You can get a barrel in any caliber. I shoot 6.5cm and 7 saum. Guys do everything from 223 up to 338 and all in between. Barrels are not much more than regular shouldered barrels.

Wait for it....

 

[Jigstick]

They're all listed for your right in COD Modern Warfare bro. Take a screen shot when you kit out and head to the local gun shop

 

[Crang]

As much as I would love an AI or SRS I use my Tikka as a switch barrel with some of PVAs offerings. Got a spare bolt and can switch between 6.5 and 223 at will. After you remove the OEM barrel all you need is a torque wrench and headspace gauge to change barrels which takes a few minutes. Action can stay in the chassis. The whole setup is a fraction of the price of others mentioned and doesnt give up a dang thing accuracy wise. Just lose some cool points. RPRs are probably the same.

Changes barrels with every crank of the handle. Quiet, so you can practice all you want in your moms basement, so you can use the money you save on range fees for more Code Red and cheetos.

I’m surprised @Bender hasn’t yet arrived on scene.

 

[Poorboyr]

This one is the shit and carries a mean price. It has sniper in its name

 

[candyx]

Don't see the purpose of the speed to change out barrels quickly, I don't think I would what to disassemble my rifle on the battlefield to switch calibers. In my living room " base camp" for us civilians is a much different scenario. I can see changing calibers to shoot less expensive rounds for target shooting. In a sniper role I would want the largest caliber possible wether the target is at 2000 yds or 10 feet in front of me.

 

[LongRangeJunky]

This is the one I would buy

Didn’t Ghost Rider use that one?

 

[J-Ham]

@LR Junky ,

I'm diggin' that scope mount!

 

[LongRangeJunky]

Didn’t Ghost Rider use that one?

Yes, I think so. It shoots a low drag ballistically coefficentalistally hybrid speer point bullet at mach 3 laying waste to goons and goblins. It would work well for PRS matches and long distance snipering.

 

[nn8734]

I recommend a phased plasma rifle (or two) in the 40 watt range. Here’s me at a recent local match...

I promised mommy I wouldn’t troll anyone on the internet cuz she threatened to shut of my internet connection.

That's a clean run bro!!!

No trolling here. There has been a few solid recommendations. I won a few matches with a plasma rifle like the one above ^

Thanks, man.....one shot, 10 hits....much more efficient moving through each stage.

This is where it’s at man! Rail Guns! No gunpowder means no recoil, and the sights have x-ray vision. Plus there’s never a need to change barrels. Real snipers carry two, but one should get you by as a civilian sniper.

I think he was asking for civilian sniper purposes

 

[1moaoff]

Is he already gone????

Now I'm sad!!!!

 

[Dolomite_Supafly]

Hard to beat a Savage. I have never used headspace gauges. I screw the barrel down on the ammo I am using and tighten the barrel nut. Never had a problem.

It’s no fun if the OP doesn’t come back and tout his years mixing concrete and benching ?

I’m seeing 1k as the cheapest in a barrel from es tactical or something. I’d expect 5-600 for a normal prefit. But I use barrel nuts and my barrrels are 450. Is the shortness worth it to me?

Awsome gun! Yes, it’s worth it!

 

[Sniper101]

Thanks for all the reply guys and yes I expected the roasting, this was just to put up a case for new shooters, its hard to best a AI AT, you can literally have 2 barrels at home along with the one on your rifle and literally never take it into the gunsmith in your lifetime, for a new shooter that's amazing I feel! A practical DIY self sufficient rifle. I wish the SAKO TRG was the same but you have to send that to the gunsmith and its the waiting that kills me as I have to shoot once a week or else I cant live

I want one for the office to use during play time

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

Correct,... the question I have for all is this. Is it a new member or someone that is already here, just bored? An if bored has he been here from day one?

I will sell you my Desert Tech kit at a good price. I have 6.5 creedmoor and 7 SAUM barrels. Like new A1 chassis, a matching covert handguard, tool to change it out, arca rail, factory box and packaging, etc.

How many times do we have to go over this? They’re call girls until they’re dead. Then they’re hookers.

Waiting for the OP 3rd post regarding scopes and MOA.

I need more beer for this shit ???

It’s 7:30am where I’m at ?

I’m surprised nobody has recommended the M107 .50 I’ve heard you don’t even have to hit the guy to blow an arm off. Shit pops off like mr. potato head.

Sorry
I’m a slow learner but judging by the collection in my basement I’m a great shot.

And that’s all that matters.
