Wanting to build a long range 308 with locking bolt and accue trigger and optics for under a $1000, any suggestions?( 800-1000 yds)

Not sure it’s possible at all. 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:

^^^  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:

MAC pulled it off, 6/7 years ago. We can do this...  :thumbup:

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.

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:

Here's the Athlon version of it, with the GREAT illuminated reticle:

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...  :popcorn:
