Re: Question about Long Range toy

I think I'm going this route:

6.5 Creedmoor
Krieger barrel
Stiller Predator action
Timney trigger
XLR Chassis
Harris bipod

Still trying to decide on glass. The NF F1 is a dream but at $2400 it's distant.

I've heard great things about SWFA FFP but still hear people complain about it being made in China.

Anyone have any experience with Huskemaw scopes?

Re: Question about Long Range toy

Thanks everyone for the input. If there is any more please feel free to share. I have a Daniel Defense M4 with a Nikon M233 mounted for the AR fun.

It looks like I may check out the Savage 10BA .308 and look into a SWFA 5-20x50 FFP scope.

One of you suggested I check out your Rem700 and I may do that to make sure I don't want to go that route.

Question about Long Range toy

I sold my motorcycle and have some cash to play with. My wife goes to the spa and gets massages for therapy... I'd like to go to the range and see how far down I can punch holes in paper for the same therapeutic response. "rlol"

I really like the Savage accu-trigger platform and have been eyeing possibly picking up a Savage 10BA. The scope I have been looking at is the Swarovski Z3 4-12x50 BRH. I am looking for opinions on if I am even in the right direction yet. I would like something that is capable of reaching out to 500+ yards but I'm not there yet as a rifleman.

The 10BA definitely has the "cool factor" out of the box but is obviously priced as such.

Tikka T3 and Remington 700 are both options too I suppose.

I currently own a Winchester Model 70 30.06 with a cheapo Simmons 3-9 that I use for 100 yard deer hunting. The 30.06 is more expensive to plink but I could justify it I suppose after a major scope upgrade.

What are your thoughts? :cheers2:
