    help me decide what to build

    Ha, I have 6 22's, mostly savages mark ii's. As for varmint rifles, I rarely varmint hunt and if I do it's coyotes with suppressed rifles. The 223 AR's I have vary from 10.5" to 20" and the 243's are standard hunting rifles.

    help me decide what to build

    I like 308 offspring. I like 243, 260, 7mm-08, and 358. I think the 338 federal is kind of a dud as I think the the 338 doesn't have enough powder to make it more than a short range caliber and the 358 is a better thumper at short ranges.

    I already have a savage in 358. It was one of the rifles I listed

    help me decide what to build

    I think the 7mm-08 does everything better. To me it's what the 308 should have been. It almost feels like a compromise to go 308. 7mm-08 has better BC, less recoil, and I like being non-mainstream

    help me decide what to build

    I hunt and target shoot. I already have multiple 300AAC and the ballistics are similar to 6.8 out to 200 yards. That's why I was looking at the grendel or 6mmAR for the AR15

    7mm Rem Mag heavy barrel rifle suggestions

    Reloading isn't an issue. I'm getting .4-.6 moa at 100 meters out my tikka t3 lite hunting rifle. Ballistically, I prefer the 7 mag over other offerings such as the 300 mag. It is just as flat of a shooter with less recoil and will kill anything I hunt.

    7mm Rem Mag heavy barrel rifle suggestions

    Looking to spend under 1 grand for this rifle. Plan to used it for long range target plinking and hunting. I had looked at building a savage but the price to build would be similar to what they already offer, and much more of a headache since there isn't a gunsmith near here I trust. I REALLY...

    remington 700 sps tactical and optics questions

    I added this to my original post but is the 50mm tube on the e6500 worth the extra $60 over the 42mm? And yes I'll post range reports but it'll prolly be a month before I can. I am buying this rifle and scope with the money from selling my tikka SS lite 7mm mag and zeis conquest to my brother...

    remington 700 sps tactical and optics questions

    No scope with this rifle, just rings which I can't use if I get a 30mm tube scope. Rifle is in immaculate shape, has about 150-200 rounds through it. So if it would cost $545 with the rebate for the rifle and transfer fees then I'm saving $145 for this rifle. Hope it shoots as good as I expect...

    remington 700 sps tactical and optics questions

    The more I think about it, I'll probably go the e6500 route. It's just more versatile. Is $400 a decent price on the rifle?
