Cheap Long Range Setup
I'm curious to get thoughts on the feasibility of putting together a long range setup for very cheap. With today's options for entry level bolt actions that typically come in at sub-MOA perhaps it's not impossible.
Suppose the shooter did his part with:
-Ruger American in 30-06 or 308 - left handed [I know perhaps something like 6.5 creedmoor may be better, but '06 or 308 does have practicality wins for me]. I would be relying on factory ammo.
-mid-high magnification scope in the $600 range
Capability to consistently hit 3'x3' plates at 800-1000yds would be the target.
Could it work? Is spending money on glass more effective than spending money on a rifle?Last edited by jthrelf; March 30th, 2018 at 10:28 PM.
