I was just having a look at military grade sniper rifles builds, and the Rem 700 and the tikka kept getting mentioned.
I want to build one in .308 or a like caliber, and so it is in par in accuracy with a Scout Recon/USMC sniper rifle. Any ideas?
You could buy a surgeon/deviant/pierce action with built in recoil lug and pic rail, they retail for about $1300-1500 in the USA, a Bartlein or Kreiger barrel could be fitted with a jewel trigger,Bartlein have a price list on their website yet they have a 6-8 month wait due to a backlog of orders.
Then it is just a matter of deciding what stock to use.
Or you could buy a surgeon scalpel they are about $3.5K in the USA and organise to have it shipped over.
The snipers in the USA mainly use Barrett rifles, there is a forum member here with a M98B Barrett who has posted pics,nice rifle.
