Hi /k/
No guns fag here. Looking to get into long range shooting. Wife won't let me get fun guns. "No scary guns in the house". FML.
What rifle should I get for long range shooting?
Scope recommendations?
Ammo recommendations?
Rifling recommendations?
I'd help to be under $1000 for the package but am not afraid of spending more.
Thanks
Easy divorce
>wife won't let me
Hahahahahahahahaha. File for divorce. Now. The longer you stay with her the long you will have to pay her.
That said, tikka T3 in 6.5 creedmoor
For real though. Get a Remington 700 sps. I have a varmint on 308. Just shot it today at 750 yards for first time. Spent thw whole time ringing steel but tan out a silhouette and got a headshot. A good thing to remember is that a good rifle with a cheapo scope is useless. A cheap rifle with a good scope is priceless. My setup including rifle, scope, scope mount, magpul stock, detachable box magazine well, and bipod ran about $1730. But with just rifle scope and mount 730 120 and 575 = $1425.

Shop around and check budsgunshop.com and use that as a price guide. Figure $25 for shipping and $30 for FFL transfer. Add that to the price on buds and if ya step into a brick and mortar gun store don't pay a penny more than that.
OP here. What scope do you use?
Vortex hst 6x24-50 with mrad vmr-1 reticle
Vortexoptics.com
I did a lot of research and I couldn't find a comparable scope with the same options in that price range. Plus they have a lifetime warranty without exceptions at all. They will repair or replace for free as long as you own it. Even some scopes costing 3 times as much don't have that warranty

as for the rifle, the savage 12 line is nice imo SWFA x10 or x12 would be a great "get your feet wet" option.
