Long range rifles

I have an A bolt and my brother has an X bolt. Both in 300 Win Mag. I would say they are just okay. Definitely not the most accurate rifles made but they get the job done. I have read on a shooting forum that the bedding material was of low quality. This allowed the action to move around causing accuracy issues. Throw in some different bedding, and maybe replace the cheap plastic stock, and you would have a decent shooter.

 

Looks like Boyd’s makes laminated stocks for the Brownings, you could source the pillars and Marinetex from Brownells

 

Yea I’m sure with a little work, you could have a rather inexpensive, good shooting rifle. I since had a semi-custom rifle made but I still keep the browning for a backup hunting rifle.

I'm a big fan of Cal's writings, his approach to shooting is very no-BS, and this article is no different. For you guys who have been sticking to DOPE cards, this might be worth reading.

 

I have Strelok Pro & Ballistic AE on my phone and IPad

 

I use Strelok Pro myself, I've found it to be pretty accurate for my needs after some trueing.

 

Ruger precision in 7.62 or creedmore will get the job done for the best money

 

6.5 is slightly less recoil and better wind resistance.

 

No doubt, the only reason to go 7.62 over 6.5 is ammo availability

 

3rd vote for 6.5 Creed. 308 is a fine, capable round. 6.5 Creed is better for almost any long range task.

 

And now, even the 6.5 ammo is more available thanks to the government taking on the round

 

That's a really nice rifle smugly. I have the RPR in 7.62 & can effortlessly engage 12" steel @ 630 yards( any further I'm off a cliff). Could only imagine what a 6.5 can do

 

Thank you sir, obviously you have seen the range reports and what people have been doing with the 6.5. 1330 all day long but once you have reached that transonic point then obviously things start to get skewed. But people have been taking them out a Mile with relatively good repeatability

 

same here paired up with my Kestral

 

Thinking of getting the ruger American in 6.5 creedmore.

 

wheres @smugly??

 

Kinda disappears with the K-camo

 

picked this up today......Remington 700 XCR Tactical.

 

Now I need glass for this thing for under a $1,000 bucks......

 

Yep
