That is a very nice execution of a precision rifle. What barrel profile is that? Excuse the ignorance, I've always been a Service Rifle shooter and am just dipping my cheap toes into a very expensive category of an already expensive hobby! Just this weekend I scored a Remington 700 Milspec 5R in 308 with a NF 4-20 SHV scope for $1,800. I thought the price good and it is/was NIB old stock. But my want it over-rode my common sense and I see now that is an average price. Still. I am happy. I had a MagPul Enhanced in 6.5CM that I shot once and sold to a co-worker that had the 5R barrel and a few of my favorite AR's have the S&W 1:8 5R barrel so I am believer in that type of rifling even if others aren't. Now, that is alot of money in today's economy and I think it is a lot of rifle for the money, but it ain't even in the same ballgame as yours. I hope to shoot well enough to justify owning a GAP one day. I was fortunate to have some trigger time behind the original M40A1 they had in the USMC (I was not a sniper but I worked in my B Billet as coach and MCBH shooting team NCOIC) whenver the highspeed guys would come to our range for shooting lessons, lol. I was Range High at K-Bay for my entire time there and my name and score my of 57 (this was the first year of the new scoring system we had in the mid-90s) stayed on the board there awhile after I left, or so I was told. The range was right off the beach you either and learned how to Hawaii read wind during range week or you Unq'd. I got lucky. Shot way above my normal level and got on the team and that is where I really learned to shoot. But I've never shot much less hit anything past 600 yards, so this new long range venture oughta be interesting. Again, congrats on a beautiful rifle. I love it. |
