Newest rifle to my collection. Donor optic from my vudoo as I’m waiting on a Canadian scope to come back and saving up for another ZCO (or TT if there’s a good deal to be had)
Dont be fooled. I am broke because of these things
I have been too poor to just go ahead and purchase my rig. So I have built all my rigs. It took me two years of saving to get my ZC420.
Good looking starting setupHoly shit why haven’t I tried that?!!?!
It is a tool and I use my tools. ...and I had to check diapers for blue poop chunks for a while
That said, I had him deploying his tripod on the clock...

But as for an actual “broke” build (because broke is temporary and poor is eternal)...
My brother wanted an LR rifle so I helped him pick out and slap together a sub-$2k system.

These are my trash poor's rigs...
I was thinking I would be seeing a bunch if factory rem700s with hogue rubber stocks or Walmart setups in the poors section. Yet we have most guys with Manners or other stocks and custom actions, suppressors, proof CF or other custom barrels, Zcos, zp5s, razors, and Bushnell elites.. Only on snipers hide... 
That’s because we are poor after buying all this shit lolI was thinking I would be seeing a bunch if factory rem700s with hogue rubber stocks or Walmart setups in the poors section.

Savage Axis 223 in the cheapest Boyds stock they offer (Spike Camp) with a "Cabela's exclusive" Burris 30mm Fulfield E1 3-9x40 and modified Timney trigger that I found for half off from a closing gun shop (mod necessary to make it work in this stock). It's got aluminum pillars (done by me somewhat well) and no bedding and shoots sub-MOA to MOA as far as I've shot (200 yards) with any 55 - 62 gr. I've put through it. If you throw a 70 gr+ in there, we start opening up groups but the twist rate is better suited to lighter rounds. It does shoot 70 gr. Barnes TTSX 5.56 ammo straight enough so I'm going to try for a deer with it someday. It's kind of heavy with this stock, though... at least compared to my preferred Tikka Ultralite.
Apparently I need to spend a lot more money to compete with the poors on this forum.
It's called the poor's thread because we spent so much damn money buying all the stuff for our rigs, that we became poor.
Sweet rifle! Plan on doing a 280 hunting build one day, I love the Caliber.

“RESPECT OTHER SHOOTERS. Place target at base of backstop only”.
A before imagine with my shenanigans trying to see how the rifle would balance with a LPVO and suppressor on my Delton 316l.
And the after with my Vortex Razor Gen 3 on a rifle that cost about as much as the badger mount its in

Was out at the range today...this was 1/2 the collection of the guy next to me!!! I'm a true
poor
Literally everything was on sale, used or raffle winnings.
That’s how all of my rifles were built minus one where I purchased the barreled action new. The rest has come from here lol
My poors coyote hunting rifle.
CZ527 Varmint Kevlar .223 - $700 (used at my LGS) That was my OTD price, and included the factory HS Precision stock and a 4.5-14 Burris Fullfield II. I used that optic for about 5 years until I came across an optic deal (below) I couldn’t pass up. Then I sold the Burris here in the PX for $110, so cost drops to $590.
PST Gen 1 2.5-10x32 - $300 shipped from the PX
CZ 30mm Rings - $50
Triad Stock Pack - $50
Total - $990, not including the Harris which it rarely wears...
Edit to add- I forgot I also paid mcfred on here for the threaded bolt handle. Think it was $15, and I threw on a random Mini bolt knob I had around.
It’s the perfect coyote rifle for my purposes, and I’m satisfied that every component is excellent quality. Have never seen the need to bed the stock, because it shoots lights out as is.
Reworking 50gr VMax load development; switching to Speer nickel brass and trying 8208XBR for temp consistency.
