Sniper Rifles

That's what I love about my 17! Dead-on accuracy and quiet! I've stretched out to about 300 yds now. I'm very confident in it but would still love to have a good .308!

A=VxF Accuracy equals volume of fire.

heck yea. single shot is good if you stay hidden and aren't taking on a huge force. But if stuff hits the fan, its hard to hold down a hidden shooting position for a very long time in a neighborhood.

I personally own a DPMS LR-308 24" Bull and the accuracy has proven to be superb. I routinely group 3 shots that measure <1/2 MOA at 100yds with Match ammo or handloads. The DPMS rifles are built to such tight tolerances that they will typically shoot as well as high-end bolt action rifles that sell for three times the price. You simply cannot buy a more accurate semi-auto rifle for the price.

Hell yeah...I just need some money and know how on the AR and the sniper....

Yea this weather has me screwed up. I ordered custom handloads for my 308 and they came in on the afternoon before my jaw surgery. I got the ok to shoot from the doc last week and now that I got time off work, it rains everyday

c- diddy, you can find them on gunbroker right now for about 1900.00. Back last year or so,when guns and ammo were flyin off the shelves,they had gotten to around 2400.00 on this site. You might be able to order one through a gun dealer,but I think its still taking about 6 months to come in. The gun is designed for sniping,but also for rapid fire,in case you find yourself in close quater combat. This will prolly be my next rifle.

unfortunatly, I sold my AR15 last year it was a bad az gun. It was a DPMS but I had to use bushmaster extractor parts, because dpms used cheap parts that didn't last I changed the extractor, the plunger and spring after 200 rounds went down the barrel.

if I wanted a sniper rifle this is what I'd want

I'm just not sure about how to get ammo for it!

better yet I'd probably stick with a .308

Getting .338 bullets is easy, but finding the wallet to purchase them is the hard part. about 5 bucks a shot give or take a little

what is the best value ammo? .223 .308 ??

are you asking the cheapest place for these ammos? or are you saying is it better to go 223 or 308?

308 is a much better way to go. you can get federal match grade ammo for like 24 bucks a box. 223 used to be alot cheaper when I bought my AR but now that junk aint much cheaper than regular bullets.

308 is the better choice. you'll get more accuracy at longer ranges and if you wanting to hunt, you get more knock down power.

cheaperthandirt.com has the cheapest federal gold medal match bullets that I have found.

the 5.56 is nice in a full auto gun where you have to pack it for miles, can carry a lot more rounds.

yea definitely. if you buying a AR I'd go 223/5.56. but for a precision rifle you much better off with a 308/7.62

what would be the best price/ammo for an AR...which .308 is sounding good

couldn't tell ya, I stopped shooting my AR because the bullets got too expensive to have any real fun with it. When I bought it winchester had 40ct boxes for like $10 at walmart. Now they $12-15 for the 20 count boxes. and 20 bullets don't even fill one clip. you better looking on that website and buying the bulk in the ammo cans.

Only thing I will say is never ever shoot those painted steel casing cheap bullets. they will screw your junk up. stick with brass casings

[speck-chaser]

check out the sportsman.com and also the-armory.com they have some pretty good prices too. I usually compare several before I make an order.
