Long range rifles

4 times easier. No having to measure the 10 feet and timely set up , and I got much more accurate results. Definitely worth the money.

 

Easier. Just make sure its on properly so you don't shoot it.

 

I will state that after doing a lot of homework and reading reviews between the different models, it made it easier to pick the V3 over the sportster, The sportsters had a lot of movement issues where as in the V3 it just wasn’t an issue.

 

Good choice

 

all listed. it's a quick change bolt head, multi caliber/cartridge set up.

my AI is as well, but only with standard bolt face cartridges in a short action.

both quick change barrels.

 

When did a quick change bolt head with exchangable barrels become a choice for anything that has to do with accuracy?

 

This is a legitimate question. Not trying to ruffle any feathers.

 

Barret. Desert Tech(DTA), Accuracy International(AI).savage has been doing it for awhile.

I got my Accuracy International AX in 2013. it's been my main competition rifle since.
the BigHorn TL2-3 came out awhile back.

its more of a consistent platform for me. instead of have 3+ rifles/scopes/chassis, etc... just have 1, with interchangeable barrels I can swap myself.
my gunsmith chambers a bunch of barrels for me. that I can swap out myself. its a wear item anyways.

 

I am assuming then, you have to re-zero your scope every time you re-barrel, correct?

 

That's what I was just thinking about lol

 

Depends on the muzzle velocity, if your with 50-100fps the shift is not that big depending on the caliber selection the data may be close as well.

As an example my 556 75gr DMR load is within 0.2 mil of my 175gr 308 out 750yds

But yes you would recheck yer zero after a cal change, I check my zero every time I go to the range, right after I run a coldbore.

 

Your a better man than me. I am a one woman, one caliber rifle kinda guy

 

I just dont like the confusion...If I pick up my 270 I know its a 270. I dont want it in 3 or 4 different calibers, then find out the hard way its not what I was intending on shooting.

 

Yes, the possibility of bringing the wrong ammunition to the range is increased. I double check everything the night before when I setup my kit.

 

TBH, I'm with you on this one. I plan to have one case, one gun, many barrels. If they end up having repeatable POI between installations (They should, if they were made by anybody with more skill than your average HS shop student), you don't even necessarily need to rezero, just establish dope relative to your original caliber/load.

 

Do you think i could build a complete long range rifle (including optics) for under 1k?

 

Depends on what you consider long range mostly.

My tikka in 308 will shoot 3/4in groups at 100 yards. Ive shot it out to 1k and been happy with the results. I have about $800 into it w/ glass.

Thrres also this guy and a bunch of others on YouTube that have done similar stuff.

awesome, can i get some details on your build?

 

?? You may could grab SWFA optics for $300 or so?
Rem700 is easy to work with,but I changed stocks,trigger,and added little better optic.i would say $1500-but depends on what you want.
