I have been an avid pistol shooter for the past 4 years and am just getting the long range bug. I am very inexperienced when it comes to rifles and currently just shoot 223. I have a few ars and got a thompson center compass in 223 to learn on. But I am wanting to step it up a bit and pick up a 6.5 (or possibly a 308) and am making it a goal to shoot at 1000 yards this upcoming year.
I reload and will come up with a good load for whichever option I choose. Also I am not concerned with hunting with this gun, strictly precision shooting.
I am currently looking at a Howa in an american built arms gen 3 chassis with a threaded 26in barrel for $675.
Am I going to get a better deal in this price range?
Ive heard a lot of good about the ruger precision and american precision. I've also heard bergara and tikka are up there. I feel like for my purposes I will want a heavy profile barrel and I just dont feel like the tikka and bergara in my price ranges have that... I could easily be wrong. I havent devoted enough time to researching it.
I would love yalls opinion, please let me know!
Thanks
