Ruger Precision 308
TexasRedNeck:
.308 is a great round and doesnt get the respect it deserves.
It will make a good shooter out of you because you have to read the wind. Distance is a matter of having a dope card.
I have a 19.5 inch barreled 700 in .308 and have made hits to1000.
Honestly, Shawn, this may sound self serving, but spend the coin and get you a really great custom rifle. Then you know for a fact when you miss it is you and not the rifle.
My GA Precision will shoot 1/4 inch 5 shot groups with handloads. I know when I miss, it is me and not the rifle. Usually its the wind call that I miss. Distance is easy but the wind is a real test.
Just set aside $10k for the gun and optics. Then you are good to go!

You’re killing me Charles....... :tongue:
10k for a rifle/optic for me is a good 1-2 years saving up honestly. I’ll give up before I get to that amount most likely (realistically get impatient and buy other guns or gear). Maybe not but it’s some fat to chew on & consider no less.

Come on Shawn, sell the Jeep and you're almost half way there. :)

I would look at the Howa HCR before going with a RPR. You can get the HCR for well under $1000 in .308 or right around $1000 in 6.5CM. I can easily shoot 1/2 MOA groups at 100 yards with my brother's HCR in 6.5CM with cheap factory ammo. If I wanted to spend more than that I would jump into a custom gun. Last fall I got a custom in 6.5CM from TS Customs. I had them put my barreled action together and I installed the trigger and dropped it into a relatively cheap chassis. I'm into the rifle itself for just under $3000 and another $1000 for glass. If I do my job I am shooting sub 1/4MOA groups at 100 and can hit a 6" gong at 550 yards all day long. If you are reloading a custom barrel will be easier to reload for, if you aren't a custom barrel will not be nearly as picky on ammo.
This is a 5 shot group at 100 yards with factory ammo I can purchase for $.70 per round.
