Rifle Buying Help Please...

[DASHZNT]

I am currently in the market for a .308 rifle to shoot paper from a longer distance than 300 yards. I have decided to go with a Remington 700SS 5R Milspec (Part#29663). Considering I am new to this, i dont know if its wise to spend new rifle bucks, i figure someone mght be upgrading and wanna sell, or better yet is there a place online or wherever to get one new decently priced. Any help from the experts here would be greatly appreciated before i do an impulse buy and regret it later on... Thank You.

I don't imagine too many people with 2nd hand Remington 700SS 5Rs wanting to sell. They're a very nice and highly accurate gun... but hey, threads are free, so it's worth a shot. Good luck!

Check the Snipers Hide forums - firearms for sale. You might find something you like there.

Cheers,

The best online place is probably Buds Gun Shop. Looks like they're $1093 or thereabouts.

If you'd like options for other rifles, you can get a complete rifle based on the Mauser HVA 8000 action from McGowen for around $850 and the barreled action without the stock for like $750-ish, in almost any cartridge you could want.
