What do you all think?

Budget first build. This is my first time putting something like this together. I’m not done yet. I still need to get a decent glass. I’m thinking bushnell R5 or Vortex. Maybe you all can help me out there.

The rest of the rifle is a Marlin XL7 in 30-06. With a Harris bipod and a Banish HNT 30 suppressor. I have a Boyd’s walnut hardwood stock on the way for it and the metal trigger guard replacement. I think it looks and shoots great.

What are y’all’s thoughts?

Rifle help

Upvotes

I have a Bergera B14 Ridge 7mm rem magthat was shooting sub .75 in group with Barnes 139 lrx. Wife killed an audad at 400yds with it in February. Everything was shooting fine. I put a new MDT chassis on it this week and took it out. Same ammo and I couldn't get better than 1.75 in group. Noticed that the bolt is a little sticky after the shots and noticed one bullet even hit the paper in a yaw. Chrono shows speeds are the same so I don't think pressure is the issue. Just wondering if anyone has ideas as to what happened? Thanks.

Wondering about Winchester Model 70 factory wood stock

I have this Model 70 with the factory stock, Walnut I believe, and I love the rifle but it doesn’t have the shine I would like.

Is there anyway I can give the stock shine without having to refinish the entire stock?

Favorite deer bullet?

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to choose the best hunting bullet for deer. I'm shooting a 7mm-08 and probably won't shoot past 350 yards. I'm probably going to reload but I'll take factory bullet info as well. I'm really just looking for a great blood trail. I've had problems with some GameKing factory ammo flaking apart in the deer. What is YOUR favorite deer bullet?

7PRC decision

5 Upvotes

Ok guys, got an elk hunt coming up this fall and want to upgrade from a REM 700 shooting 7mm-08 to a 7 PRC, there’s a Bergara sierra wilderness on sale for 850 right now or do I just go with the Rugar American gen 2 for 650, wondering if it’s worth the 200 dollar step up

New to ar-15’s need some tips

4 Upvotes

Hello, my wife and I decided recently we need an ar before the stupid Colorado gun law comes into effect. Thoughts and suggestions for a budget build? Also what ammo is the most readily available? We manage a storage unit facility and have run into issues lately that have helped with us our decision to buy an AR.

7PRC Hunting Rifles

8 Upvotes

I am looking for a hunting rifle in 7PRC. I currently have a 300wm, but want something a little more applicable for deer. I already have good glass and my budget is 1300ish but is flexible. What rifles can I find in this budget that are pretty accurate while remaining somewhat light. I live in an area where my average deer shit is at 500-600 yards. 7PRC is a very new round for me, but seems like a good medium ground. Thanks in advance

Bolt action or lever action.223/5.56?

6 Upvotes

I am looking for suggestions on whether a bolt action .223 like a Ruger American or a lever action like a Henry would be a better choice for someone looking to add a non-semi-auto to the gun cabinet. The Ruger is less expensive and probably easier to scope. Also can accommodate 5.56. The Henry looks like a lot of fun but I am not sure it can accommodate 5.56 and might be more difficult to add a scope. Obviously more expensive. I am not in a ban state and have an AR but would like something that could be taken into a ban state and be legal. FWIW I have a Marlin .30-30 and the recoil is pretty strong. I have not shot a bolt action. Thanks.

CZ 515 .22 L/R Tactical

I’m looking to buy a CZ 515 .22 LR Tactical here in Australia, but want to swap the lever to the left side as I’m left handed shooter. I’ll get this done by the dealer when I buy it, but I’d like to hear from anyone that has done this before and if there were any issues with reliability, jamming etc?

Looking for tips on rifles for hog hunting

8 Upvotes

I am looking to get into hog hunting and precision shooting but not too sure where to start when it comes to rifles. I've done some bird hunting in the past but the environment and weapon choice were vastly different from what I'd like to start doing. I'm moving to Louisiana very soon and was curious if anyone had any tips, I'm on a bit of budget but would still like a good rifle I can use for both hunting and long range target shooting.

Scope/ring spacing

I have purchased Leupold vx4hd 3-12x40 along with Leupold Backcountry medium rings for my Sauer 100 243.

As seen in photos due to the tube being short the magnification ring must sit where it is with a very minimal gap. Wondering if this will be an issue. Ps (the magnification ring does not touch even when rotated).

Seekins sad

1 Upvotes

I know this has been posted about before, but this is my first ever Reddit post and I wanted to get my thoughts and feelings out there about it. Over the last year I’ve been really into the precision rifles and I’ve been looking at getting a seeking precision hit pro, but there is a 9 month back order for them. I’m not a very patient person so I’ve decided to get a Tika ace target in 6mm instead over the tac A1 instead. I guess I’m just looking for thoughts and opinions on that decision that I made and should I really feel as salty as I do towards Seekins now? I get that they’re a smaller company that produces a high end product but if you can’t get the product it doesn’t matter.

Fair Price For A Ruger American .22 WMR?

3 Upvotes

A friend of mine is going through a divorce, and I'm trying to buy before he puts his collection up for consignment; this is a Ruger American Rimfire in .22 WMR with a Simmons 3-9x scope he says came with it.

I don't want to rip him off, but at the same time, he's going to lose a good bit through consignment.

What's a fair price to offer for it?

last rifle enquiry 😂

help a brother out. i have a 6.5 that i would never sell, i have a 7mm08 in a carbon stock which ill never get my money back on. I’m limited by legislation, money and space.
6.5 and 7mm are almost identical at 120gr.
i’m seriously considering 06 A-Square a 3006 necked up to .338. all i would need is a barrel a bolt stop and a magazine.

uses are: Pigs from a highseat, Big Reds on foot, and moose on skis and on foot.

torn between 2 rifles

5 Upvotes

im absolutely torn between these 2 rifles atm. they are completely different in there own ways. the first one which is the one i want more is the bergara b14 wilderness hmr in 300 Win mag at a price tag of $1200 for just the rifle not including accessories and ammo. and the other is the ruger american gen 2 predator in .308 which costs $700 for just the rifle. both would be “range toys” but the bergara i would use in a competition setting which i want to get more into. i do plan on getting both rifles anyways but dont know which one to get first. i didnt want to spend too much which is why i was leaning towards the ruger first. what do yall think i should do?
