Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Help me choose my next long precision rifle…

I only voted Savage because they are generally a great rifle for the money. Love the accutrigger, especially with a competition sear. Haven't shot that specific model, but am a Savage fan. Also hard to go wrong with a 700 but the price is high, even with a scope, though I can't tell what the scope is from the pic...might be a good deal.
6.8spc. I get the 6.5 love but for most practical shooting in North America I just like the 6.8 better and if it gets the army contract...? it'll be way cheaper to shoot recreationally.... If dems don't fuck up everything.
But it'd be hard to justify the difference in price for Rem and Savage if that Rem isn't driving tacks at 500 yards... and the more you save on rifle the more you can spend on glass. LOl
Granted. I couldn't afford half of those.

Need more info, if your looking for pin point accuracy, the REM is the way to go, but if your trying to go tactical/combat/Mobile Scar, if you want to go tactical/precision Axis/havoc.
Was gonna go Remington till I saw that 12G

From what I’ve seen on here, you try your hardest to come across as a badass. Usually when people try to do that, they are in fact, not a badass.
Nukka, I ain’t “trying” to do anything. I’m just me…I’ve got the background to back it up so zfg what your troll ass thinks. Been around here since the beginning and these are my people. Just having an honest discussion. So take yo ass and gtfo my thread homie

Oh yes. Here we go. I’m a troll because I think you try too hard. “EVERYONE LOOK AT ME, I’M AN AIRBORNE BADASS”. Pathetic.
Someone please show this douche the door.
Oh and Airborne isn’t what made me a badass btw

Ok sweetheart
I’m partial to the 700, personally, although I agree with the previous poster that 2.4K is a bit steep, unless there is some high end glass on it. My only advice if you buy that rifle is to drop a custom trigger into it. The stock trigger is fairly stiff, and doesn’t typically do well with adjustment, in my experience. Also, with that compensator on it, it will be loud as stink.
The board flows so much smoother if you put the board troll on ignore.

i picked up a ruger precision rifle a couple years back and it has become one of my favorite. i believe you can get it chambered in .308 or 6.5 creedmore. definitely worth considering in my opinion
I've got the Bullpup and it sleeps behind the headboard.Panzer makes a bad ass Semi Auto AR 12 can also get a barrel drum for it
$$?

All depends. Which rifle offers a mapped & blue printed barrel, trued and lapped barrel face, free float barrel, 5R cut rifling (button pulled rifling is shit for long range precision), target crown, bedded action? I wouldn't waste money on anything that didn't meet those specs. As for the action, the Remington 700 is going to be the best of those you've listed. I'd stay away from semi-auto for long range precision shooting. It's fine for competitive shooting if you're just trying to ring steel at distance, but not if you're trying hit sub-0.25MOA at 1000yd+. Just my .$0.02
Agreed on all points…and the 700 is what I’m used to (M24) I’ve never seen the 6.5 700 in action, but I read that they’re out there. I’ve really fallen in love with that round. Was just in WY last month and was smacking it at 1000 yds like nothing.

looks like they start at about 1350 online these days but it also looks like they offer a lot more calibers now that changes the price depending on what you want...but admittedly that is a bare gun. to have one like the photo i posted you need to separately purchase the scope & rings/bipod/monopod. But it comes with decent stuff like the adjustable stock, barrel and muzzle break, a repeatable trigger. It just is fun to shoot at any range 100+ and capable well beyond. #notagunexpert #notarugerrep

If you’re a serious shooter & want a custom build this operation near me is as good as it gets with multiple national & world championships under the owners belt.
He built my .308 which has never had a round through it. I treat it as an heirloom/investment.

And as you can imagine, if your run out of ammo you can club the bastard to death or violate his person with the barrel.

This one might come in very handy one day soon. I doubt it would take out a modern Tank but who knows.
