Your long range dream rifle.

Got Mine already.
Remmy 700 in 300mag Custom 26'' hart barrel.
Win, Durango in 7mm STW 26'' HART ALSO
Must say both are pretty wicked, I'm very pleased.;)
 
A friend just cleaned up in the F-T/R events at Lodi, WI with a Barnard action, Bartlein barrel, Nightforce scope custom rig. I forget the brand of stock, but the bedding is what counts. I figure I could do a lot worse than copy his rifle. Doubt I can copy his skill, though.
 
Drummer101 M1A if I did not have to chase around the brass...

Go for it... the brass lands in a nice pile about 18" away when you fire from the prone position

M107 A1 + Laser Assisted rounds

.50 with a laser assisted round. (Assisted = you have to fire within 10 MOA vs. Guided = fire in the direction and forget) The technology is there. A previous employer didn't want to go there so we canned the effort..... However :D , there is technically an obscure public domain 'how to' on this in the key technology areas (putting it in the obscure public domain was to impede others patent efforts in the relm). Is a virtually guaranteed hit for that big buck @ 2 miles in light winds worth $100/round?

Anyone interested?
 
No thanks...

I know machines can hit things far away. There's no satisfaction, no accomplishment to letting them do it for me.

Guaranteed hits would no different, in terms of accomplishment, than shooting them in a cage. IMO.
 
Emcon, what do you like best of the 6.5-06 chambering? BTW, beautiful rifle man.

Thanks.

6.5-06 is essentially equal in performance to the 6.5-284, For LR shooting they are comparable ballisticly to the .300 magnums in all but the heaviest .308 bullet weights.

There is a wide variety of excellent .264 bullets available for just about any shooting you want to do.

It shoots the light (for caliber) bullets nearly as fast as the .25-06, but the "light" .264 bullets are better ballisticly than the "light" .257, so the difference downrange is minimal.

It shoots heavier bullets (140gr and above) as fast or faster than the .270, the only real advantage of the .270 is the choice in heaviest bullets (160gr) is better with the .270. 160gr 6.5 bullets are limited to round nose.

The down side is that as a wildcat, it is handload only, but as wildcats go though, it isn't all that "wild", simply neck-size 25.06 cases and you are ready to load. All the major loading manuals list data, and loading dies are off the shelf items.
 
AI-AW .338 Lapua Magnum w/ Trijicon TARS

Like this, but in snow camo pattern and with the Trijicon TARS scope:

My choice is subject to frequent change!
 
I probably would have said a MRAD in 338 Lapua Magnum, or a M200 from Chey-Tac in .408 but after seeing the 14.9mm SOP rifle and cartridge earlier today I think I would choose that. If you guys haven't seen it google it.

Quote taken from www.thefirearmblog.com "The 14.9mm SOP is an incredible extra long range rifle project that a number of people at Snipers Hide have been collaborating on. The huge rifle fires a very long and heavy projectile with a high ballistic coefficient giving it extreme accuracy. It has 0.5 MOA accuracy at 3000 yards and remains supersonic out to 5400 yards (5 kilometers). The 14.9mm SOP cartridge case is formed from a 20mm Vulcan case. The 1,690 grain projectile leaves the muzzle at 3,350 fps with 42,104 ft/lbs of energy (that is not a typo!). This is almost twice the muzzle energy of the 14.5×114mm Russian and 14.5mm JDJ. It has more kinetic energy at the muzzle than a 20mm Vulcan, and far more kinetic energy downrange, although the Vulcan is carrying an explosive payload "
 
While I'd love a Chey-Tec, I have my M1A Super match for iron sights and just finishing a Remington 700/5R (w/Jewell trigger and a USO SN-3 5-25X TPAL scope placed on Badger rings/base).

The M1A will out shoot me, and the 700 should as well (even with that big chunk of glass on top) once completed.
