High end Rifle question
recurveman replied to MULEPACKHUNTER's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Buy the gun and do load development…….If you want to maximize your guns capability. With a good custom gun you should be looking for an honest .3” 4 shot group. Here’s the question. Just how good does your gun need to be? If you have an MOA gun and shoot 500 yards at a deer (given no conditions) you will impact within 2.5” of your aiming spot. Thats with a gun shooting 1” groups. Honestly that is plenty good for most hunting. Everything above and beyond is just gravy. Now with that said. I would cut my wrists if I had a gun that shot 1 MOA. I barely tolerate .5 MOA. I like maximizing the gun. Plus it gets me some time behind my gun working it and putting it through its paces. No rifle builder is going to put the effort into my gun like I will put into my gun. here is another way of looking at it. If you aren’t going to maximize a custom guns potential then just buy a nice factory gun and be done. I have a tiki that shoots 1/2 MOA (after load development) but easily shot sub 1MOA before that. It does just fine for its intended purpose. there are a few to many guys out there right now with “1000 yard guns”. It’s super possible but it requires load development and practice. I have found that most guys aren’t willing to do either and then miss their animal when the time comes. I was in camp where a guy missed a 240” buck 7 times at 600 yards with his 1000 yard gun. The buck walked out of sight and then they heard a bang. That’s how we know it was a 240” buck. Bet he wishes he had done load development and practiced. 600 yards is a chip shot in the hands of a guy that has put in the work. -
Looking to build a couple rifles. One is a hunting rifle and one will be for F class shooting. Does anyone have recommendations for either? thanks Chad

I have an action coming that I need an FFL for. I live in Tempe but east valley would be great. I just need to have it shipped to him and then transfer to me.
