How much are your rifles?

 

[aubie515]

Hey PB...perhaps you should save your money and invest in an online typing course. Your OP definately needed some typing/grammer help.

It will be pretty tough to get a true custom rifle for under $2,500. You can get a nice Remington action with some smith work and an AICS for your budget, but you will need to pony up if you are going the GAP route.

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Hahaha, about the online typing course, but I do know what you mean, and btw I'm not buying GAP, their great, but WAY out of price range. I'll probaly buy the SPS tac. And go from there.

 

[BADSBSNF81]

Give the Custom shop a call.

 

[BADUNAME27]

Prices depend on what you want.

If your a serious buyer, call me and we'll work a quote.

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Do you have an Internet site? I'm more of a visual shopper.

Hey PB Walsh.. went out and shot my SPS tactical today.. And the results were great for me.. Sure maybe not what a $5000 rifle MIGHT get me ( but I think the gun will out shoot me in this prone position)

Shot it off a harris bipod, prone, calm winds, Federal Gold medal match 168 gr. ammo.. I love this gun.. And all for under $1000 including the scope and scope mount Nikon buckmaster 4.5x14x40, deadnutz mount

I know the elitest folks will say "junk" or "buy the custom rifle" but frankly for the money I am so happy with this gun..

this 200 yard 5 shot group is 1.29" and the other 3 shot group I shot was under 1" at 200 yards.. the other 4 groups I shot where at 100 yards today and just as fun

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Wow, with that 200 yard group, I think I'm sold. Is that a different stock on that one, it looks green?

 

[Pat4x4]

no, it is the black one... just dirty and under bright green cover so it apears that way

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Did you free-float the barrel with your gun, because at www.snipercentral.com his wasn't and stilled pulled of sub .5MOA at 100 yards. Just wondering, mabye I missed something.

 

[Pat4x4]

it is free floated, when you put a bipod on it it lightly touches in the front..I clearanced it in about 5 minutes. Now it clears all the time.. My first 3 shot 200 yard group today was sub .5 moa as well as many of my 100 yard groups.. now what you need to under stand this is all off a bipod and my shoulder.. not with bags front and rear.. I have another thread going here.. look it up too.. there is alot of info on these.. also there is one for sale new in the forsale section here now also..

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Ok, I'm SOLD on the SPS tac. thank you 4x4

 

[Iansstud]

top is Remington accutip 168 5rds
Lower group is smk 168 4rds (last 4 I had... I need more)
both at 100yds 1" squares

1st groups with this setup, on a dirty barrel (20rds before without cleaning)

IMHO ValueWise, You cant beat the SPS Tac in 308...

 

[Pat4x4]

What are your reload recipes, Powder?, primer? and what not.. Nice looking rifle.. I like the stock

 

[Iansstud]

Reload recipe... lets see... here is what I do... I pull out the old wallet, and hand the man behind the counter some cash, he then hands me the box of ammo!!!


I dont reload.... YET! soon...

that is with factory ammo the top group is cheapo stuff, the bottom is expensive...

and thanks, I love the stock!!!

I have $550 in the the rifle,
$75 to the stock
$279 in the glass
$25 rings
$15 base
$75 for the Bipod
$10 for the sling...
About $1000

But, That is ready to shoot, done deal, out the door!

I honestly thing these guns brake in, I keep getting better and better groups...

 

[Pat4x4]

How many rounds do you have down the tube? I seem to think the same thing as far as getting better.. I still want to put mine on bags front and rear to get my groups even better. But I will not complain with 1.29" at 200 yards for a five shot group.

I too have only shot factory ammo.. but all my reload stuff is going to be here tomorrow.. trying to get a few differant ideas to use for my first reloads

Where did you get a stock like that for $75?

 

[Iansstud]

Nice!!! You'll have to tell me how it works out after you start reloading! I just scored some Federal SMK 168's for 24.99 a box local!!!!! All I could afford was 4 boxes because I just picked up 5 boxes of 150gr softpoint crap ammo for hunting/ stockpile because they were 13.99 a box.... so now Im up to about 220rds of 308 ready to go down the tube!

I have about 100 through mine, You?

I got the stock on GB labled "gunsmiths special" it had been butchered up to try and fit a Badger bottom metal.
I was expecting to have to do alot of work, when I got it, It only needed about 1/8" filled in about 1/2" deep just around the bottom metal, so the stock remington still fit, the top half was Intact. I used some Loctite brand A/B putty... I threw it away after i used it on the stock!! it just crumbled apart... The Aluminum pillers are intact they did not go that deep. I am just going to cut a notch all the way around, and then bed my BM with some AcraGlass Gel. And Even if I end up putting 5 Hrs in to the stock I still got a Great deal!!!! He had it for $50 I emailed him with a $75 offer and BAM!!!

Now Im just looking for a Used but not beatup Pelican 1720!!! Hopefully in tan!!!!

 

[Pat4x4]

I have about 100 down the tube I am guessing.. I could go count my brass and see.. but it is close to that plus or minus a few

Sounds like you have been having fun with your stock.. Keep us posted on how your development goes.. I got some of my goodies today so it should start getting real fun around here soon..

 

[P.B.Walsh]

By golly, I'm sooo jealeous!!!!
