1,000 Yard Factory Rifle For Less Than $1,000?

[padom]

Another option that's a really good deal is just buy one of these Howa M1500 6.5cm barreled action and drop it in a stock of your choice. Save you a few hundred dollars. 24" Heavy barrel. No issues hitting your target at 1000yd

Drop the barreled action into the Bravo chassis, tighten 2 bolts and you have a great setup for $839.. add an AICS 10rd magazine and your right at 900 ready to rock and roll

I saw the Brownells review on the Howa on YouTube. Nice rig and the price seems fair /‘good for Japanese made firearm.

There was a pretty nice review not to far back in the Bulletin here too.

Buy a beat up, flat top, pre accutrigger, Savage 110 or 112 etc, almost doesn't matter. buy a quality heavy barrel, per the instructions of one of the guys on here, then have another competent buddy install the prefit barrel. get it 6.5 xyz or 6.5 CM and buy 6.5 CM Match Hornady. that should easily get you done. you may have to do some major favors for your buddy who is going to do the barrel swap for you. Or, just buy a clean Savage 308 or 243 'police' etc model, pre accutrigger, work on some loads and good bullets. I think it will hit steel at 1K. I would probably pick a HB 243 as described above.

Savage LRP in 6.5 Streetcred

I had one of those 10 or maybe more years ago. It shot 140 Amaxs really well.

 

[LVLAaron]

I had one as well.... It shot bugholes. Loved the rifle. Hated the trigger. Sold the action, shot out the barrel, and reworked the stock to a left hand single shot for a different project.

Thinking about the big picture, if you're on here asking about LR shooting my advice is to not buy a Savage. Many of us started that way. They shoot well, but soon you'll be wanting a better trigger and a smoother action. I'd suggest Remington/Bergara/other clone or the Tikka platform. And I'd suggest buying lightly used, more rifle for your $. Good luck!

I have one in .308 too. I like the rifle, I put a Timney trigger on it which was a big improvement. So far, I can't get much better than 1 moa out of it though, but I only have about 200 rounds through it...so time will tell.

To be clear, I think it is virtually impossible to be even remotely competitive at 1000 yards with a new factory rifle under $1000, especially when you consider that you will need a scope and bipod to compete. Virtually impossible.

 

[Ranger188]

I don't think he wants to compete, just hit a piece of steel @1000 yds.
just to say, I did it.
Do you have a decent scope?
Adding that isn't in your budget.

 

[Turkeytider]

Guys, REALLY REALLY appreciate everybody taking the time to chime in! LOTS to think about and consider.

I`d be getting a new scope, and that`s a whole different discussion!

 

[Ranger188]

If your new to this, it will become a HUGE rabbit hole that all of us have
fallen into. $$$$$
So run now as fast as you can and take up needle point..
