[QUOTE="ucdengineer, post: 111603, member: 6035"] There was a post a bit ago by a 15 year old looking for a rifle and you guys gave him some great advice so I was hoping you could give me your .02 as well. Ive been shooting all my life (I'm 20) and have always had this urge to get into the 800 and 1000 yard shoots. The rifle I want to build will not be used for hunting, I've got a slick Savage thats been to hell and back and can still drive tacks at 300 and 400 yards. Thats going to remain my hunting rifle. I've got around $3000 to spend but if I need, I can draw out a maximum of up to 4000 or 4500, but I'd like to keep it low. I want to go with a .308, the .30 caliber is kind of a family tradition. The .30-06 is the only chamber my family has ever owned, despite having upwards around 20 rifles! I looked at the Accuracy International rifles and they looked pretty amazing, but they were around 4500. Anyone know anything about these? They looked like they are pretty solid and claim to be the "most effective sniper system in the world". My dad loves the AI as well so if that was a reasonable choice I could probbably get him to pitch in a little for one. (Hes totally into the new military sniper concept.) Anyways, those are my thoughts, thanks for your help! Jason [/QUOTE]
