I just ordered my first big boy ffp scope an swfa ss 3-15. I got 4 rifles that would work for learning to shoot long range, none are perfect. I want to go from 100y to 1k. Which one should I use?
1. 308 20 inch heavy barreled sako custom.
Pros I know it shoots sub moa.
Cons recoil ,ammo cost, short barrel for 1k yards.
2. 6.5 grendel auto 16 inch barrel, I just built it not sure if it will be sub moa so far it looks like it will
Pros cheap good factory ammo when u can find it, low recoil, cheap to reload if I get off my butt and do it.
Cons short barrel, ammo ain't always easy to get, not many factory loads to use
3. 223 jp enterprises wilde chamber match barrel 1 in 9 twist. 16 inch tube.
Pros: ammo availability. Cheapest ammo. No recoil. Shoots sub moa
Cons: I have trouble seeing the small 22 caliber target holes past 100y, is it enough twist for the 75 grain amax?, probably won't get to 1k
4. 270 W's 24 inch remington ss
Pros it's my only rifle barrel the others are all carbines. Has 5 he powder capacity for long range. Shoots sub moa.
Cons: poor caliber for factory match ammo of good high bc bullets, ammo cost, recoil.
5 / 6. Rebarrel 308 in 6.5 creedmore/ 260 / 6.5x284 with a nice long tube. Or do the same with the 270 into 7mm or 300. I would prefer to not have to reload, at least while I am starting out. Thanks for looking and / or opinionating, best daniel
