Remington model 7

disgusting

Try learning how to shoot a regular scoped bolt action up to a couple hundred yards before you start buying super-accurized range toys.

0/10 can't compete.

Well unless you are a sniper (as in the actual military profession or a hunter of the small bird called snipes) you will never own a sniper rifle.

All a sniper rifle is is a standard bolt action rifle with a scope and maybe a trigger job and free float barrel, used by a sniper. Otherwise sniper rifles are hunting rifles.

The M40A3 is just a Remington 700 in a McMillan stock chambered in either .308 Winchester or .300 Win-Mag.

Take all the money you have and split it into three equal piles.

Use the first to buy a tube of steel. There will be parts attached to this tube, but they are not important. You must look deeply into the runes etched into this metal. These runes signify names of great power: the Maker, the Creation, and the dimensions of the tube. What these runes say depends on the size of your money pile and the whims of the merchant who sells the tube.

The second pile is for a tube of glass. It will have runes inscribed inside as well as out. Those inside are much debated. Some will say the more, the better, claiming a rune in the shape of a yuletide tree as the best. Others want simple lines and dots. But all will agree that by twisting the knobs on the side of the glass tube, the size of these runes should change. If they do not, it is a sign your money pile was too small and displeased the Makers of Things.

Your third pile should be for tubes of brass. These you must use to feed your tube of steel, so the runes on both must match. If they do not, the tubes shall grow sullen and not work as they should. And while some may say certain runes are interchangeable, they lie, and to mix them spells doom. Do not be fooled by those who would peddle cheap tubes of brass, for such things are fickle. While your tube of steel might eat them, it will grow sick and perform its duties poorly at distance. You must chose only the shiniest of brass tubes, and choose their numeric runes well.

I hope this primer of the arcane world of sniper rifles aids you.

Whichever one leaves you enough for decent glass, a reloading setup, and enough left over for trips to a 1000yard range and some classes on how to use it.

>>33817029
Not this again...
If a sniper gives his rifle to someone else, it doesn't change what the rifle is. A sniper rifle is a specific type of rifle designed and built for a specific purpose just like a Formula One car is a specific type of car. Both share some features on paper but clearly the combustion engine in an A-Class isn't the same as the one in Mercedes' F1 car. Design and purpose matter, not who's using it. That's like saying a steak is just a lump of meat unless a trained chef cooked it.

Other than the outrageous price what is bad about the FN Ballista? I want to someday own one, 2nd hand if possible to save some money.

>>33817265
Wow you have shit analogies.

A sniper rifle is a precision rifle used by a sniper. Otherwise it is just called a target/precision rifle.

Do tell me, how does the rifle change from being a sniper rifle to something else, depending on who's holding it.

Hey Im the poster, damn all of these are so expensive, isnt there anything a little cheaper?

>>33817442
You're asking for a Lamborghini to take your driver's test with and then bitching that Italian sports care are expensive. Any modern factory rifle will be more accurate than you are. Go get a Savage in .223 and hang a Burris scope on it and call it a day.

>>33817442
Get a Tikka T3 or a Howa 1500
Better price to quality than a Remington 700 or Savage.

>>33817442
Tikka T3x CTR could be good. You can change the stock later.

>>33817391
It's a rifle no matter who's holding it. It's a sniper's rifle if a sniper is using it.

>>33817521
Sniper's rifle yes but not necessarily a sniper rifle.

>>33817554
And a sniper rifle would be a rifle tailored to snipers by a military armory for use only by qualified snipers.
>a r700 with a redfield scope is the same as an M40
No.

>>33817626
There are factory built sniper rifles too. Still, the design doesn't change. If some civilian builds a rifle that a sniper can use for his job, it qualifies as a sniper rifle. It doesn't have to be used by a sniper or for sniping.

>a r700 with a redfield scope is the same as an M40
Names and markings are a different topic but if for some reason an M40 was sold to some random guy outside military, it wouldn't revert back to being a Remington 700.

For no reason other then it has a ballin ass name. like some shit outta Destiny.

Anyone got comments on the S&B PMII 5-25x56?
Planning on getting one with a Tikka T3X TAC A1

Other rifle suggestions appreciated

>>33816477
Are you me?

Just buy a Remington 700 chambered in .338 Lapua Mag with a NightForce scope and call it a day.

I knew it. I fucking new one of you autistic faggots would try to sound smart with the "only snipers have sniper rifles xD" meme the moment I opened this thread. I bet you also tell people to not use the word "silencer" because guns aren't silent, despite Maxim himself using that very name for his invention.

>>33816477
Get a Steyr Elite. Absolute top

Come back once your bolt is the buffer.

>>33817333
>Ergonomics for manlets.
If it's .308 than honestly the FNAR-H is better.

>>33819566

TRG-22 in .308 with black stock and green stock plus 8.6 sniper rifle M/2000 (TRG 42 in .338 LM with green stock). Truly excellent rifles, but than again I am a Finn.

>>33819566
TRG-22. Loved it.

>>33816477
If you're basically stupid and don't like research, Ruger Precision Rifle

If you like research and bolt guns, build your own from something like a trued R700 action, a custom barrel, and chassis. Savage does have the advantage of barrels that don't need a bunch of specialized equipment to change

What do you guys think of Accuracy International?

Also, why use 308 bolt guns when some 308 gas guns are submoa?

>What do you guys think of Accuracy International?

I have an AI AT which I like a lot. But obviously there's diminishing returns. For a shooter of my capabilities a Ruger RPR or a Tikka T3 would already have gone a long way.

>Also, why use 308 bolt guns when some 308 gas guns are submoa?

Well, due to OP's restrictions on his arsenal, I'd also suggest going semi instead of bolt. More versatile while still being accurate enough to qualify.
