So...essentially yes. Unless you are at a Tier 1 unit, you will not have a PRC. But at that level you are shooting nonstandard stuff anyway. For instance, SOCOM as a whole is moving to 6.5 Creedmoor but there are units that are shooting 260. That's the benefit to being at a Tier 1 unit. They can...

Barrett won with their MRAD rifle. This contract is a $50 million contract. SOCOM as a whole will get the ASR. Tier 1 units can get whatever they want in whatever flavor they want. They do not have the same rules as the rest of us in SOCOM. Now that a unit is "evaluating" it they could do a...

The ASR is the advanced sniper rifle. The program went out for bid in 2017 for 7.62x51, .300NM, and. 338 NM. Barrett recently won the contract with their MRAD rifle. Once I looked like the winner would be the MRAD, another group went out and purchased the same MRAD rifles but with 300 PRC...

The 300 PRC won a limited quantities contract in the Barrett MRAD. The ASR program as a whole is still using 300 NM. I am intimately familiar with this. Also, you have to consider how contracts are done in the military. When this unit bought the 300 PRC, SOCOM had already completed operational...

The ASR is .338 Norma, .300 Norma, and 7.62x51. Some one off units have bought .300 PRC rifles but that is not SOCOM at large. These units have deep pockets and can buy whatever they want.

Lever action .45-70

You can also build a rifle like the bighorn I mentioned off of a factory savage long action. The thing with modern day barrels, actions and stocks is that you can build a .5 to 1 MOA rifle by basically bolting together parts. If you bought a savage long action in .300 win mag or any other long...

Bighorn TL3- $1500 (including extra magnum bolt head Barrel- $350 ($700 for 2) Magpul hunter stock- $375 (including bottom. metal) Calvin Elite 2 stage Trigger- $200 Total- $2775 for essentially 2 guns These prices are...

I built one off of a Bighorn TL3 long action, best thing I ever did. With the interchangeable bolt heads I can make it any caliber I want with a simple barrel change. I practice with 6.5 creedmoor and hunt with .300 win mag. My 6.5 and the .300 win mag loads I shoot are very similar out to 850...
