gun ? good semi auto sniper rifle...fnar? m21? help?

Post by firend »

Trying to find info on long range sniper rifles both out of box, or custom builds. Some of the forums claim fnar 308 shoots sub moa.

I know tactical rifles builds a sub moa m21.

Any others, etc.

If you know of a good bolt out of box or custom builder I would also consider that.

Thanks.

p.s. Why? maybe I want to shoot chickens at 1000 yards lol

I tinker with these things. I have an M1A that I've tweaked to be a barely sub-MOA rifle. Took a lot of work, and you have to maintain it pretty carefully.

I've read that the AR-type .308s are pretty accurate without all the tweaking.

I guess you're not interested in bolt guns?

Out of the box it is savage all the way. Remington is coming out with a new rifle that is better though? Have not heard much, but it is like $800.

I know someone that gets 1.5 at a 100 with the ar-10 (rock river I think).

I've heard the same thing about Savage.

I can pull off a head shot size target consistently at about 450 meters. I am not "sniper" quality. I am good though. I also got an $900 leupold on it. And a $260 after market stock. The optics cost more than the gun. You got to have good optics. Spend some money on it. Don't expect to make 1000 meter shots with a simmons, sorry.
