Hello ! I am so happy to join your community, until now I have not been able to do anything but lurk and look at everything with envy !
I am not a big gun afficionado, actually, I started getting interested in guns only 6 months ago !
And now I am the proud owner of an ages old 22lr that no longer have a name, so old he is ! Ahahah, and a sig p226 in 9mm !
I've been very happy with my purchases, but lately, I've been shooting some friends rifle and it got me into wanting one ! One is a hunting rifle in .300, and the other was a FN FAL, it's great fun !
It got me really excited about getting one so I looked and looked and looked again. Sometimes thinking of getting a battle rifle. Sometimes thinking of getting a .300. A .308. A semi-automatic. A bolt-action. And then here's what I decided !
I decided to get a Remington 700 bolt action, built starting from nothing but the best parts that I would assemble myself, and use the AICS stock because the look is very very sexy, and I heard it was a fantastic stock, too ! Absorbed recoil well, reliable, sturdy, everything !
Ah, and sorry for the introduction part, but I did not find a place where I could properly introduce myself !
So, I would like to have your advices on what parts to get, or check out !
I'd say for the rifle, I'd be ready to put 2000$ in it. I'm a bit scared of the price not because I'm not ready to pay for it, I'm the kind of guy to search the best quality possible outright that way I never have any problem, but if I pay 3500 for the rifle itself, well, I should have bought an actual Accuracy International rifle now, shouldn't I have ? Ahahah
Of course the optics are not in the 2000$ spectrum. It's only for the rifle.
Ah, and why the rifle ! Well I would like to shoot at 1000 yard, actually ! It's pretty impressive to shoot so far, it got me pretty excited !
Of course I won't shoot so far at the beginning. I'll start at 200 yards, and gradually increase the distance. And I bet I'll have to learn about this whole temperature and altitude thing I keep on hearing about to be able to shoot at 1000 yard.
It seems like a lot of fun times are ahead ! Ahahah !
But for now, rifle building ! I think I'll buy everything in June, after I have learned and checked things enough to be sure of what I want, and put together the money for it, ahahah !
Well I'm ready to take any advice ! I'm going to drown myself in all the FAQs available on this website ! I really appreciate them, by the way !
I feel a bit bad about not being able to contribute a whole lot to the community. I'm a newcomer to all this. But maybe in a few months, when I have the rifle and learned to shoot with it, I'll be able to give advices to beginners like me \o/
Thanks again, friends !
