Alright /k/, looking to buy my first firearm. Grew up shooting,

>Also, I believe I heard something at some point that Remington was bought by another company and the quality went to shit afterwards...any truth to that?

Yes, their quality has been sorely lacking in recent years. The got bought out by the same company that got marlin as well

>>32835084
>Sub-$700 price
>1moa out of the box
>Threaded barrel
Any AR-15 will do that out to 700 yards for less per shot than basic 308 ball.

cont >>32835156
If you do your part, that is, and you are probably not yet capable of it. However, that just makes it a good chance to learn.
With 223/556 you can push to 700 yards with skill, and you can switch to something like 6.5 Grendel for even better performance. In fact, you could build a 6.5 Grendel (24cpr ball, no shit) AR-15 with some bottom bitch glass for less than $700.

>>32835084
>Long range Precision shooting at a 50 yard site.

>>32835156
I appreciate it and understand that ARs can do that, but I'd like to eventually move up to 1000m shooting so I'm fairly certain what I posted is closer to what I'm looking for in the long run. I'll eventually build an AR, but for now I'd like to get a bolt action.

>>32835084
>tfw no one on /k/ is hasguns or actually interested in being hasguns
Sigh, bring flags and ID to /k/

>>32835457
Remington 700 is more suited to rusting away to nothing than 1000 yard shooting, and no way in fuck is it more suited than a 6.5 Grendel.

In fact, go Google "6.5 Grendel 1000 yard". Grendel is a better 1000 yard cartridge than 308.

>>32835453
Eventual long range. Is that better?

>>32835084
Savage 10 in .308 or 6.5CM
SWFA 10x42

>>32835633
Ty. Any particular reason for the suggestion of Savage over Remington?

>>32835659
see >>32835479

>>32835084
SilencerCo Omega or Hybrid for a suppressor

>>32835084
Get a Savage and you won't need to change the trigger. You'll need to get the barrel threaded but that's not too big of a deal.

Also Howa is now selling barreled actions with threaded barrels. Howas are great.

>>32835896
>Savage 10
Most of those on Gunbroker are already threaded to 5/8x24

>>32835633
>>32835659

>>32835903
If you go with a bolt gun get .243, 7mm-08, or 6.5 Creedmoor, not 308.

>>32836146
Going to look into 6.5CM a bit more today based on all of this. The one article I read comparing .308 to 6.5CM has me pretty interested.

>>32836187
6.5 CM to 6.5 Grendel is like 30-06 to 308: You just don't gain anything realistic with the bigger cartridge, and an AR-15 will be at least as good as any given bolt gun.

>>32835659
Savage is more accurate out of the box

>>32836596
Why does every thread on /k/ just end up being "just get an ar"? OP wants a bolt gun

>>32838088

OP is an idiot who doesn't know what he wants. He'll be getting an AR later and never shooting his bolt gun, so just get it over with now.

>>32838088
Do you know why everyone is tired of the AR? It's because it's literally the best at every role that doesn't necessitate a folding stock.

OP is a college poorfag with access to a 50 yard range but wants a gun that can push out to 1000 yards. You'll find that 6.5 Grendel is the only cheap 1000 yard ammo at under 25cpr per shot, and an AR-15 is a great way to put that to use.
>>32835084
OP: Molot also offers a 6.5 Grendel AK, but it's not going to do 1 MOA on a good day in the hands of a skilled shooter, it's more expensive, and the magazines are unobtanium.

For what it's worth: An AK-74 would also be an excellent choice, but you're fucked in bullet selection and the platform limits your potential.
Unfortunately your budget doesn't really allow for anything else semi-auto and can barely fit an AR with glass, and bolt guns at 50 yards suck.

>>32835903
No they aren't.

>>32838088
cont >>32838395

It's even the best battle rifle. Sorry, but an AR-10 will outshoot a SCAR 17S shooter for shooter at a fifth the price, and they'll both destroy an M1A, FAL, or PTR. The difference is a FAL* and PTR can have a folding stock.

>>32836596
.260 Rem to 6.5 CM is closer to 30-06 to .308 than 6.5 Grendel.

Dude, we get that you are hyped about your new 6.5 Grendel AR, but you are all over the place. 6.5 CM pushes heavier bullets faster. That's just the reality of superior case capacity. Grendel is still an intermediate cartridge and has limitations. Wider cartridges don't play nice with AR-15 bolts either.

>>32838266
i have 5 bolts guns and 2 AR's and i shoot my bolt guns more than my AR's.

>>32838441

You sound like a Trump supporter

>>32835084
howa 1500 in one of the 6.5s
bell and carson stock
swfa single power, 10x or 12x

>>32835479
You uh... do realize the 700 comes in more than one caliber, right?

>>32835156
>$700 ar-15
>sub moa out of the box

>>32835084
and when i say "one of the 6.5s" i mean creedmoor or swede.

>>32838395
Not that it particularly matters, but the range is 100 yards.

>>32838472
To be fair, I meant $700 for the gun alone...not including optics etc

>>32838441
You have access to a range greater than 50 yards, and rimfire doesn't count.
>>32838432
>A 150 to 300 FPS gain is worth dealing with rifle length actions and paying 4x per round

(a) No shit, Sherlock.
(b) What on earth gave you the impression that anyone thought that?
(c) It's Remington, and therefor completely off the table.
>>32838484
What, you don't want 6.5 Jap?
>>32835084
>suppressor ready
I have a factory threaded Thompson Compass in fuddy aught six Win for durr, and supposedly they're going to start selling 6.5 CM.
inb4 >hurr you have a durr boltgun but are shilling for a 6.5 grendel AR
I live in PA where semi auto hunting is banned and I keep a sizeable stash of .30-06. That's it.

>>32838395
>You'll find that 6.5 Grendel is the only cheap 1000 yard ammo at under 25cpr per shot
Lets not pretend hes going to be using wolf steel case at anywhere near 1000 yards. The match ammo costs the same as any other caliber. If op doesnt reload, his best option is .308 based on price of practice ammo alone.

>>32838559
more referring to not grendel. but yeah, jap sucks too.

If you put one together yourself with a high quality trigger, barrel, and handguard you might be able to pull it off by going cheap on everything else, if you dont include the scope.

>>32838616
i was hoping for this joke.

>>32838559
>cheap and doesn't know as much as they think about guns
Yep, you're definitely from PA.

>>32838574
Let's not pretend his average shot is going to be anywhere near 1000 yards through the life of the firearm.
>>32838641
>good trigger, barrel, and handguard, cheap everything else
That is generally how you put together a good AR, anon.
>>32838769
>cannot into basic logic
>trying to shit on PA
lol

>>32835099
ive got a model 783 thats undeniably the most accurate gun ammungst my faggot friends that own brownings and rugers. Its cheap asf and qualtiy of build lacks but its accurate as hell

>>32838918
>Let's not pretend his average shot is going to be anywhere near 1000 yards through the life of the firearm.
Wolf is shit for anything other than plinking at a couple hundred yards or less. Its even worse for precision shooting practice. If hes almost never going to shoot past a few hundred yards, hes better off with a 5.56 rifle anyway.

>That is generally how you put together a good AR, anon.
Then feel free to post a build under $700 because those three parts alone will usually run about $600. Youve still got the upper and lower, upper and lower assemblies, and bcg.

>>32839041
>If hes almost never going to shoot past a few hundred yards, hes better off with a 5.56 rifle anyway.
Agreed, with the caveat that 1000 yards is not within the scope of your expectation. When you're looking at 300-500 yard average with 1000 common 6.5 Grendel is pretty tits.
Also, turns out the PGC just today legalized semi autos for durr with a five round limit. Looks like that thuddy is retiring.
