Your optics for that kind of range will be at minimum $6-700 plus including a mount. How do you plan to build a rifle for $300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your optics for that kind of range will be at minimum $6-700 plus including a mount. How do you plan to build a rifle for $300? I don't know, brother - I can pull this off. Savage Axis II Overwatch has a listed MSRP of $529, street price will be lower. Pull an Athlon Ares BTR 6-24x50 mil scope for under $400 street price. That rifle already comes with a Pic rail on top. Set of Warne Maxima Steel 30mm low rings for $50, and I'll still be under a grand - well under, depending on the steet price of that rifle. Bet I could get it under $1k, and hits at 1k, too. Here's the rifle I'd base it on - I THINK he's talking about a bolt action rifle anyway, and the Savage AccuTrigger - from what I could tell of his post: https://www.savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=57484 ^^^ Just saw it on Bud's Gun Shop for $447. Here's the scope I'd do: ^^^ Just saw that one for $399,without looking hard. Another $50 on these, and I'm done. I can splurge and get them straight from Warne for the full MSRP of $62.49: https://warnescopemounts.com/product/213m-30mm-fixed-low-matte-rings/ Edited May 19, 2020 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) MAC pulled it off, 6/7 years ago. We can do this... That Savage Model 10 he's shooting isn't the same price it was in late 2013, anymore. Gotta move to a different Savage now.

98Z5V Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) He could step up to a Rem 783 in .308 Win, the Varmint version. 26" heavy barrel, great trigger that's actually adjustable (and doesn't suck, for a Rem factory trigger). It actually has a real, detachable magazine, so no top-loading - just change mags. MSRP is $637.50, street price should be lower. Step down to that Primary Arms 4-14x44 mildot scope at MSRP $229, like in the MAC vids above, done. Throw in those same Warne Maxima rings. Under a grand. The gun will do it - that's the same setup on my .243 Win. I went Athlon on the 4-14x44 scope, so I'd have a badass illuminated reticle, so the scope was $300 street, instead of $229 MSRP. Here's the gun: https://www.remington.com/rifles/bolt-action/model-783/model-783-varmint Here's the scope: https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-4-14x44mm-riflescope-mil-dot-pa4-14xffp Here's the Athlon version of it, with the GREAT illuminated reticle: https://athlonoptics.com/product/rifle-scopes-talos-btr-4-14x44-aplr-ffp-ir-mil/ IF THE OP IS LOOKING TO DO THIS WITH A .308AR, AND GO OUT TO 1K YARDS, THEN IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. HE'LL HAVE A BOX-OF-SHIIT BUDGET RIFLE THAT WILL NEVER BE UP TO THE TASK... THE BARREL WILL BE A BUDGET BARREL, AND SUCK - THE TRIGGER WILL SUCK... JUST WON'T HAPPEN... My $0.02...

DNP Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 The op has made one post. The thread title links to what appears to be Russian email address when googled. I doubt we see this one again, but maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
