Don’t let fear get in the way. An ar is the simplest gun on the planet. How complex can it really be? Jar heads use it’s cousin so you know that are simple lol.

From the time I lock an 80% lower in the vice till I’m shooting it is about 2 hours.

If I start with a completely milled lower it’s only about 45 min from pile of parts till bang including mounting the barrel to the upper without lapping the upper first.

You can get away without even having an armorer’s wrench depending on what barrel nut your hand guard uses.

I used to shoot and ref competitive sporting clays in PA with my old man. It was a pretty cool thing to do together when I was young and got me into shooting. Nothing better on a really bad day than to take it all out at the range. I just ordered a P320 80/lower to build my first pistol. I was going to build a glock but I really like the design of the sig.

Go to Marinegunbuilder.com. They have a good forum and a pretty significant amount of information on building your own guns. They also give you trusted sellers and discount codes. If you are good with your hands it’s not difficult to build a gun.

Anyone have any suggestions for bolt action rifle, preferably less than $1500, chambered in 6.5 creedmoor? Been looking at Tikkas, but they’re pretty hard to find state side. Remington went through bankruptcy so I was told to be weary of the Remington 700. Bergaras are nice, but pretty damn heavy.

I was wondering the same thing. Bullpup shotgun or rifle of some sort.

Ruger works fine and would be in the price range. Slightly janky and not super polished OEM but it’s modular. I’ve reached out to 1K with precision on a Ruger platform. I call this a entry level gun for long distance … that works. It’s a good platform to understand many of the ‘issues’ you’ll discover with precision.

Bergara has a model I think but it may be pushing the pricing. Weight is actually a good thing depending on your intent. If you’re going 6.5, the most popular application is long distance where you are mostly set-up and not moving around too much.

R700’s are sort of the benchmark but it’s entirely dependent on the smithing and component quality. I’d go R700 as a custom build once you’ve had a chance to get comfortable with long distance precision and some of the niggles that are personal preference. For instance, bore axis is going to be slightly elevated relative some of the other solutions. Are you able to overcome the muzzle rise to regain sight picture timely? Barrel swaps may get a bit more complicated, etc.

Top one looks like a .22 bottom one is not a shotgun and I believe is classified as a pistol.

It is most certainly a bullpup, but I agree the barrel/mags look too narrow to be a shotgun. I saw the top one is a .22. I was trying to read what brand it was, but my eyes aren’t that good.

I’ve been shooting an older laminated Remington 700 chambered in 22-250 and it is crazy smooth. I just need something with more knock down, and I’m a little leary of Remington atm.

Thanks Loki! The plan is to get out to 800-1000 yards. I will be using it a lot at the range, but I also hope to take it hunting this fall (which should be pretty funny being as how I’m vegan). I’m not sure what the threshold for carry weight is, but I figured if it was less than 9lbs or so would be good. I don’t want any of the feather lite stuff.

I do like Rugers, especially for the price point. I have handled a couple of Tikkas, and I really like the action on them. The Mauser M18 actually felt pretty nice. I don’t think I have seen any OEM’s. I’ve been hawking all the gun shops, and looking online. It’s really not easy to find guns right now. Thanks for the response!

That’s the Tavor X95. Beautiful little rifle. I just got it a few months ago so it will need a few mods to get it where I want it

It’s 5.56, I found out it comes in a .308 model but I had already got this when I found that out

Nice! I’m looking for a bolt action right now, but an AR chambered in 5.56 will be next! Ummm… Well maybe after I get a bear gun lol. Thinking a 10mm for that. Damn it, I want them all! :speak_no_evil:
