Sweet...now just got to decide on a basic rifle setup. Remmy 700 sps, savage 10, or Howa 1500...

Remington 700 or clone. We all shoot them, it's the most capable and configurable.

700 and the way.

Yeah...will probably search the boards for a used remmy 700 sps and upgrade it as i go. Would love a clone but completely out of my budget right now. Will consider one for ny 2nd bolt action build.

Any sggestions on a basic scope. Heard allot of good things on the bushnell 3200. I wanna keep it under 700 for the glass. Just looking for something to learn with. Will upgrade later to a nightforce or leu mk4. Will most likely thow it on my ar308 aftarwards.

Find a Bushnell DMR with the G2 reticle. They are super solid, more capable than a Nightforce (FFP, beter reticle) pretty cheap these days (I'm selling one in Badger rings for $1K) and the glass is totally servicable.

You can pick up a new Remington varmint for around $ 600

Worth considering but over my 700.00 range. Thanks thou ..

There is nothing in the $700 range (really $800 with rings) that comes close. If you're in this game to save $200 you're in for a hard time. That said my two scopes are now sold.

Not as solid as the Bushenll DMR but it's a pretty darn good scope. Contact Nathan or Rich at Short Action Precision and they'll hook you up a deal.

G2 reticle, ffp is what would be most useful.

So the Weaver Tactical, Burris MTAC, or Viper PST are not decent entry level scopes? All 3 are in the 800 ranges.

What would be the basic requirements in considering a good scope?

Not mil dot recticle?

The mildot is so 70s ;)
The G2 is an improved mil hash reticle with 1/2 mil marks, milestone markers and a windage (xmas) tree. Much more useful than a standard mildot.

Awesome...so glad i joined this forum...tons of usefull info and friendly advice... Thanks!

Out of those three the PST is the only one I would consider. But unless you find a great deal on a used one you wont be able to keep under your budget of $800. You want the 6-24 FFP Viper PST. Normal retail on that is $950. If your interested in one let us know and we will be able to get you a great deal.

OK, gotta ask, even though Randall already said probably NO, which is probably the only answer I need, but is there any point in attending clinic A with an ar308, dpms hunter light 20" barrel, Nikon m-308 4-16scope? I know; bolt actions only, but that's all I've got for now. OK I asked, flame suit on.

It's the wrong weapon to learn on so you'll just be wasting your money. If you're serious about this pick up a .308 Rem 700 SPS and a Bushnell 10x mildot scope, some TPS rings and a Harris BRM-S (around $1K total). Sell the gasser if need be but you wouldn't go to a golf clinic with a tennis raquet would you?

New guy here........ But been shooting my bolt action for awhile.
Would love to attend the clinic, what do I need to know or where can I go for more info?

I would say although not ideal.. the rifle would probably be ok. The limiting factor is the scope. Ditch the 308 bdc scope and get a mildot based scope and you'd gain much more out of the clinic.

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and want to attend the next clinic which I heard was in March (ASR). Is there a gear list other than just bolt guns, ammo and pack? Thx

Rudy

If you want to be thorough... chamber flag, shooting mat/blanket, bipod, tools. Usually if you don't have it, we make do or someone will be able to lend you something.

Cool!! Thanks for the info

Rudy

Please delete this account.

That would be an excellent setup.

I don't do any of those things.

Is there going to be another of these?

Not until 2016.
