Browning B.A.R .300 Win Mag.

I would look at an Ar 15 in 25 wssm, 300 ossm, 6.5 sporter/6.5 grendal, 6.8 spc, 458 socom, 30ar, 358 wssm, 338 wssm, 7mm wssm and Im sure there are more cals that would work. The great thing about the AR is there is a huge after market for it and we all know they are tried and true

B.A.R. 7mm or .300

Probably best to buy the BAR.  But if it's not going to see a lot of use, and long shots(300+) are not in your plans, can't go wrong with Remington 740,742,or 7400.  And you can usually find them pretty cheap. My Mom's 30-06 in 7400 still shoots lights out with 180gr remington corelokts.  Have heard some complaints of accuracy, although have heard it usually explained to be copper fouling.

AR 10 in 7mm-08 or AR 15 in .450 Bushmaster.

[Straight Shooter]

AR-10 in .308 Win.

Couldn't have said it better.  Have uppers in 17 Remington, 223 (of course), 25 WSSM, and will have one in 17 Practical and 30 OSSM soon.  Antelope don't like the 25 WSSM at all.  My wife even wants one for next year when we go speed goat hunting again.

I would try the Remington R-25 in .308Win.

[carpsniperg2]

r-25 is 243 7mm-08 or 308win great guns

Only if you buy over priced remington built AR's, I've handled a few and always put them down in disgust. No AR that costs so much should have such a pile of crap for a trigger. The camo job is nice...

[carpsniperg2]

  that's funny! i have the first 2 groups i have shot out of that gun. the first 2 both are well under 1/2 at 100 yards. it is one of the best shooting guns i have ever shot. o and its dpms that build the r-25 for Remington and the r-15 is built by bushmaster all 3 are sister companies and price them against other 308/ar-10 and they are not that much

[FC]

Sorry I know what it costs to build vs buy and there is no excuse for that horrific trigger at that price point.

[carpsniperg2]

your welcome to try one any time you like and see how that horrific trigger on the gun groups

Don't you live in eastern Wa? If not you're on!

If we lived closer I would take you up on that! I'm always interested in shooting something new, I would be happy to let you try my AR, I put a RRA NM fcg in it and it really made that rifle easy to shoot

BTW, if you ARE in eastern Wa, I would still like to shoot yours...Just show me some rockchucks 

[Bofire]

R-25 is heavy!!
Carl

[carpsniperg2]

live in goldendale wa, so about as south as you can get in washington but still on the east side.

the r-25 is a bit heavy for sure but it i can't pack a 10lb rifle, at 6'1 and 260lbs i should not be hunting my sako i hunt with weighs more and then some. weight does not bother me much. i also pack a 45lb rifle from time to time so it makes the 10lb'er feel pretty light

[demontang]

I would stick to the ar15 over the ar10 its a lot cheaper to play with a ar15. Both AR's can shoot under moa and are hard to hurt.

[carpsniperg2]

here is the first 2 groups i ever shot with the r-25. i grabed my 7mm-08 rounds that i had loaded up for my weatherby cfp and the r-25 loves them

my cuzz got the 308win and i am loading almost the same loads for his gun. and it shoots them very well 2.

i think i'm going to get me one of those R25's in 7mm08. then I'll get a DPMS in 338 Federal.  The wife will probably approve the purchase when pigs fly.

[carpsniperg2]

  when you get back, we can kill a hog and hang it in a tree on a zip line. we will make that sucker fly, and get ya a new gun or 2 thay are great guns.

that reminds me..... off to a new useless thread
