flounder Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Spend your money on something nice and pick up a Rem 700 in 308 or a Savage 10 in 308 and be done with it.. Either one is a 1000 yard gun if setup right and in the hands of the right shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj1 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 If your trully intrested in those rifles... I would have to recomend stoping in to Vance's in columbus... There are quite a few guys in there that have done and do long distance shooting. there is even a guy who gets custom rifles built in the 338 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rig and what I have had done to it is plenty for what I do now and Im shooting out to 1165 yards almost monthly / bi montlhy. There is an old guy at vances that actually won the Wimbledon Cup for 1000yard when he was younger.. Other then him, I dont know anyone there I would talk to for long range shooting tips.

Ill admit I know all the guys there pretty well and ud be truly amazed by the wealth of knowledge there. the only problem that you can run into is that it can be just SOOOOO busy all the time and the guys really dont have the time to share what they know......Im not gonna Lie.... Ive worked there for 8+years now....and I cant even understand half of what some of them talk about some days. So if you ever want a good contact for a specific reason let me know and i can tell you who to talk to... and trust me they will answer your questions....or get the person you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few pretty good contacts but wouldnt mind hearing who they recommend for gunsmithing work. I know a couple of good smiths but its always good to know as many as possible.

Aerik Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Wow you guys are talking about some pricey stuff. (Watches Enemy At The Gates while telling his Mosin-Nagant that it's okay because those fancy newfangled guns can't set someone's clothes on fire at 75 feet.)Hurr hurr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
