Long Range Shooting Rifle Options

You have ARs that put 10rds thru the same hole at 100yds?
Okay, then.
If not, maybe like Newshooter alluded. A .22LR in a precision chassis.

 

I didn’t say I could, I said “practice“.

 

That's a deterrent to good marksmanship...practicing with inaccurate weapons. How do you know whether your groups are your fault or the weapon's?
Before anyone jumps me for implying an AR is inaccurate, show me one off-the-shelf AR capable of better than 1.5″ groups. I'm guessin' 2.5″ is more like it. That's not teaching anyone anything but doubt.

Now, if your idea of practice is really just an excuse to go plinkin', then call it what it is - wasting ammo.

 

This is my off the shelf AR at 100yds, Spikes AR with the Geissele SSA trigger & Vortex Strike Eagle scope

 

That's more than one hole.
Just messin' around...that's good shootin'.
Was taking a stab at your choice in ARs with my previous posts and missed. My apologies.

 

Lol no worries, I learned my lesson with my first AR years ago. It was a cheap one with a cheap optic & I was lucky to get 3 inch groups at 100yds lol. I’ve since learned the value of quality components, I was amazed at how just changing the trigger tightened up my groups. I look a shooting like racing, range time will make you better but only if you figure out what you’re doing wrong and correct it instead of just staying out there making laps.

 

Nice analogy.
Triggers = Suspension?
Ammo = Tires?
No one races on Cheng-Shins. Whose ammo do you like for the Spikes?

 

Yep exactly!
Those were shot with Hornady 5.56 55gr. That’s mostly what I run through it.

 

I gotta find the right ammo for my Colt 6601...haven't shown good results with 55gr.
1-in-7 twist, I shoulda been using heavier bullets to begin with...thinkin' Federal GoldMedal.
I went straight to the GoldMedal with the AR10 and it's sub-caliber MOA all day.

 

Larue

 

How many do you want me to name? The AR has progressed to the point that the good ones can run with bolt guns, or really damn close to them. Look at GAP, Larue, Knights, SCAR 20s, etc . . .

 

I gotta visit that gunstore. Where is it?

 

I shoot with Ben from JP, and his LPR-07 is right up there with lots of bolt guns. Of course its also twice the price....

 

I just ordered this one. Can't wait : )

 

Exactly - also JP, Seekins, Wilson Combat, just to name a few. There's also the capability to build them with quality parts (upper receiver barrel fit and stiffness are critical). If anyone doubts this, please come shoot with me and I will demonstrate how an AR can outshoot many bolt guns. The 1.5" group being out of reach is hilarious...try a lot smaller than that.

 

Aaaand these guns are all off-the-shelf?
I say again, where's this store, I gotta go!

 

Online store doesn’t work for you? Buy a upper from larue. Slap it on your lower. Done.

I think your argument is moot. Plenty of AR’s shoot sub minute.

Here, I did two of them. I would hope that you can google the rest.

 

Some people just can't admit when they are wrong . . . that never happens on this site : )

 

Um, online ain't off-the-shelf...save your breath.
