Help me build my first sniper riffle

[manny78]

I'm looking to build my first sniper riffle ever. I have many weapons and this one lacks my collection.

SO here's the deal:

- MUST be .308 caliber

- bolt actions only, no semi-auto

- maximum 3000$US scope not included

I dont mind buying parts from different sources/companies (receiver, barrel......)

Check out the Sauer 202 I'm pretty sure the make a tactical model (probably not that same number though).

These things shoot sub MOA right out of the box and you can swap out the barrels for different calibers.

If that doesn't float your boat,a pre '64 Winchester and have it blueprinted and set up for precision shooting.

Either of the 2 should be less than 3 grand, the Sauer would be cheaper and IMO a better choice.

From reading your posts,you know not to skimp on the optics.

can't go wrong with the reminton 700 SDM. AWESOME action and proven accuracy.


Leopold scope...any of them are good

Get your synthetic stock customized....I know a good guy out of Pembroke, Ont. if you want a hook-up.

I was looking for a custom made. I think accuracy international has such service. My first idea was a .300 magnum but seems like impossible to find good riffles and parts.

Guards;Only problem with the Rem is that it is push feed vs the controlled round feed of the Win.

Albeit the chance of a failure to feed is small w/ the push feed,it is next to nil w/ the CRF.To me very important in a tactical arm.

This is just for recreation right? A 50 Caliber would be better in the damage category if you are going for mechanical targets! I'm not up to snuff with Canadian gun laws! They may have special permits like the states! Otherwise my mouth is sealed!

I have a Remington PSS (.308) in an Accuracy International Chassis System, and I love it! Shoots sub-moa all day with 168 grain Federal GMM, and even with a Mark 4 Leupold it came in well under 3 grand.
Plus, I find that the AICS is the most comfortable stock I've ever used, particularly while in the prone position.
It is an awesome system with many benefits.
