DVOR has a SCAR 17s 13" barrel assembly for $1110.

Ouch that pricetag though!

Yeah, bit cheaper than other places though.

 

[RerouteToRemain]

You really think so?

Yup, I would go 8-9" with an Omega

Goddamnit, the bug is returning and I JUST finished one. Ggggrrrr

 

[Gregolian]

I fear another bug may have bitten me.....

6.5 Creedmoor precision rifle chassis system....

Or one of these:

Kill me.... And kill my friend that just built one in 6.5 Creedmoor and won't shut the fuck up about how fun it is.

This thing looks awesome.

Talking to a guy in my area says the chassis that the 110BA is on from Savage is heavy as fuck.

 

[bushman505]

I fucking hate everything about savage.

 

[Gregolian]

LOL

You'll be happy about this @bushman505, found out Brownells sells Howa 1500 barrel actions in 6.5 Creedmoor so if I ever do this I may just go that route.

I admittedly KINDA want a fluted barrel just for "OMG IT LOOKS SEXY AS FUCK" though. But the barrels on Howa's are great.

Could just buy the ruger precision rifle, I havnt heard anything but good on them. They have 308, 6.5cm and 6mm cm.

I've heard they're heavy as fuck and compared to getting the action, chasis, and such with like and MDT LSS you spend less buying it in pieces.

What a guy I know does:
"I usually buy a used savage 10/11/16 with a top bolt release for ~$250 sell the barrel for $50 then buy the barrel I want for ~$350 and a chassis is ~$500."

RPR is $1600 out the box

Of the firearms inherited, the Savage was the least appealing. Looks like some aftermarket stock that doesn't quite fit right.

Yeah I guess weight wouldn't bother me on something like that, I mean it's 100% a bench gun, not like your going on a 10 mile hike with it...

True, price scares me a bit though

To be fair I've never had a bad experience with savage, they just seem like cheap pieces of shit to me and I hate the trigger/bolt on their hunting rifles.

They make a few guns that have interested me but when I get my hands on them I just can't do it. They make a gun called the Alaskan or something and it seems cool, short heavy barrel but they make it in 375 ruger not 375hh....what the hell is that about?

My friend had the long range hunter and that was sort of a fun and cheap way to get into 338 lapua magnum.

The new lightweight hunter is getting some talk in the sheep hunting circles but not because it's nice, because it's cheap so after you've blown your budget on a sheep hunt you could still pick up a fairly light gun.

Again, never had a bad experience with them, they just don't seem like nice guns to me and for the $$$ I'd buy something else. My dad has that a17 and he likes it pretty well for what it is.

1600 dosent seem like too much for a gun like that, I mean just a few years back I spent more than that getting a Remington 700 tactical turned into a bench gun. It's a lot of money but they seem worth it.

The ONE thing I REALLY hate about the RPR is a purely cosmetic thing but I despise it.

I hate how it looks like an inbred lovechild between an AR and like a Barrett. Something about a bolt gun with the full enclosed handguard rather than an exposed barrel just annoys me.

I know ultimately aesthetics isn't a huge thing in performance ways but God, am I not a fan of that look

Spoiler

I say that but I am sure by August of next year I'll have a 6.5 RPR with like a 6-24 Vortex PST on it or some shit

Yeah they do look strange, not really my type of thing either but they apparently are great guns.

If I was looking to get into 6.5 for a range toy, I'd probably just get one and be done with it.

I've still got a few precision rifles in 308 so I'm not really in the market for anything like that but if I was...

My wish list now is basically look like this:

- 28" Benelli Supernova for duck hunting
- Benelli Supernova Tactical because.. because it's Murica
- Fuck off .375 H&H Weatherby for a fun magnum rifle
- AR-10
- 6.5 Creedmoor precision bench gun

Outside of a 9mm pistol I am pretty well set and I am thinking about getting a G19 for that.

Ugh, can I win the lotto already.
