After much scrimping and saving, I'm looking to purchase a rifle for USPSA Manually Operated Rifle and field rifle competition (ITRC and such.) I kinda blew my budget on the optics, so I can afford right around $1000 for the rifle itself. Requirements as follows:
- Chambered in .308 Win.
- MOA accurate out to at least 600 yards (assuming match ammo and a machine-rest like hold, which I have one of...)
- Drop-free detachable box magazines.
- Reliable and durable with a minimum of TLC.
A couple of rifles that I'm looking at:
- A Remington 700 (maybe a -5R) with the Badger Ordnance detachable magazine bottom metal would only come in a little over budget.
- A CZ550 Varmint. Not sure about the accuracy at long range, but it has the detachable magazine and excellent build quality.
- A DPMS AR-10 of some kind. I know it's not manually operated and it would put me out of the USPSA MOR class, but it's still a contender.
Any thoughts?
