is it possible to do this build for close to 2 grand?
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
problem with semi auto weapons is repeat ability which is why the barrel, barrel extension and bolt group are the keys to accuracy.I don't want to pretend to tell you how to spend your money but if you are unhappy with your bolt gun and looking at 2k ARs, I would hold your powder a bit longer and hold out for a GAP-10. With an 8 month lead time you'll have time to save up money......At that point you have the penultimate AR and the faiure to engage a target successfully can only be blamed on the loose nut behind the wheel.....
That is the type of info I am looking for here. What do I need to get a 1/2 moa AR. If the min is the GAP 10 then so be it. Currently I am thinking I will stay the bolt route. Then in the future might do an AR-15 build in 6.5 Grendal to get my feet wet in the AR world.
I'll throw my .02 in. I know you guys like built rifles, with good reason, but there are some out-of-the-box accurate rifles out there. Try not to cringe because of the brand, but this a great gun for the price. It would give you plenty of leftover for nice glass, or upgrades if needed.http://tritacdefense.com/store/p55/Savage_10T_6.5_Creedmoor_Bull_Barrel_Cabelas.html
This is the guy who built my GAP remy 700. He's on his own now. I'd give him a call and talk to him about your budget and desires. He's a straight up guy and will steer you right. http://www.crescentcustoms.comI'd trust advice from a guy who built 100s of rifles over my desire to bankrupt you with a "living vicariously through you build. "
My two cents is that assembly of parts over time is much easier to accomplish without drawing unnecessary attention from HH6 and resulting in a perceived cost around 8% of total expenses......Johnny Cash baby!
Those links didn't work for me bear, but I agree, the Howa has a decent rep. The reason I am personally fond of the savage is their bull barrels.
I think the links should be fixed now.
Nice, especially the second one.
Nearly ready to get the ball rolling on a barreled action for Travis at T.C. Customs. Lone Peak Arms Fuzion actionBenchmark barrel in 6.5 CMThe barrel will be threaded for a Lone Peak Arms muzzle brake. It is a self timing brake. The action will come with a nitride finish and I will have a black cerakote applied to the barrel.I plan to re-use the stock, bottom metal and trigger I have for now. At a later date I will probable upgrade the stock to a better stock or possible a chassis system.
I'm just not sure what I want yet. Thinking I will spend a little more time shooting my brothers gun that is in a chassis and see if I like it or not.
My only concern is how the new barrel contour is going to fit into the stock. I think it is going to be tight.
