mostly target shooting. I'm not the hunting type but in the event I need to kill something for food I'd like to be able to shoot the shizzy out of a moving target far away

For what purpose are you looking? Hunting, target shooting, instilling fear in the neighborhood?
I'd say for a good all around rifle, grab a 270 caliber. Tika makes an affordable .270 that is a good all around rifle for target shooting, varmint hunting, or big game. If you're not looking for a big game rifle a 22-250 makes a nice rifle for casual shooting and varmint hunts.
If you're looking for a big game rifle with some serious killing power, get a rifle that shoots a 7mm STW. It's a necked down 8mm cartridge, and will pretty much drop whatever you put it on dead in it's tracks.
Or you could just get an Ak-47 if you're looking to mow down streets fulla nigras like it's GTA4...Comment

If all you want to do is have some fun shooting targets, and you're not looking to spend a whole fuckload of cash. Skip right passed the rifles and get yourself a good shotgun. A model 870 Remington Wingmaster makes a great shottie for under $1k. Get yourself a couple boxes of clays, your shotgun, and a couple buddies, and you'll have a blast.
Wingshooting is way more fun than target shooting with a rifle or big game. Any day, hands down.Comment

hmm, well if you're mostly interested in target and small game the 17HMR is a fast hot accurate (and cheap)
it won't break the bank for ammo either 10 bucks for 50 rounds
not for deer though
270 is a good round like jewcat said but a bit expensive for shooting target
for target and occasional hunting i would look at ruger or remington, they both make a nice bolt action rifle chambered in 7.62 x 39 (ak47)
so you have a nice bolt action accurate scope rifle thats cheap to shoot and plenty of knockdown power for up to deer size animals
here is what you want http://ruger.com/products/m77Hawkeye...ets/17125.htmlComment

You could get one of these...This is what I used in Iraq...

Yes it is.. But once I had it dialed in You could not get away... A few times we had to make a run for it and it does get very heavy with all the ammo...But I would not trade it for anything for making a shot over 800 meters... most of my shots were around 800 and a few out to almost 1600 meters..in the right conditions..wind, temp, etc...

starting to really consider the AR15... there's a ton of options http://www.dpmsinc.com/firearms/Comment

Depends on how you build it.
I'm currently building one chambered in .204 Ruger. I plan on dialing it in at 600 meters. Most people that shoot long range with AR's will never shoot that far with them. If you want to be accurate beyond 600 then I would consider building a .308 AR-10.Last edited by AaronM; 12-24-2009, 04:32 PM.Comment

Exactly. Loads of options to make it exactly what YOU want.starting to really consider the AR15... there's a ton of options http://www.dpmsinc.com/firearms/
If you decide to go this route, hit me up and I will show you how to do it right. Yeah, you could buy a ready made rifle from DPMS, JP, or a number of others but to me it's kinda like a computer. IMHO, always better to select the parts you want and put it together yourself. If anything ever goes wrong, you also know how to fix it.

You will never shoot tight groups that far with an auto feeder though.Depends on how you build it.

But in the end it all depends what purpose you want the gun to do.
This is why we (hunter/firearm enthusiasts) have so many.
One for every occasion because you'll never find one that does it all.
(but if he wants to shoot allot of targets and have fun .308 and .223 will get expensive)
If I got the AR to mainly target shoot I would get it chambered in 7.62 x 39 (because its 3 x cheaper to shoot)
If I got an AR to kill or hunt out to 250 yards I would get it in .308.
If I wanted to shoot shit out at 600 yards i wouldn't get an AR
(i'd get a nice bolt action magnum)

I most likely will end up getting more than one rifle. One for short/medium range and another for long range stuff. Right now I'm thinking the AR is the best route for the short/medium and a bolt action for the longer stuff.You will never shoot tight groups that far with an auto feeder though.

I'll be sure and post the targets for you.
When you're spending 2.5k+ on a custom build, you tend to get above average results.
MOST people will never shoot this distance but most people don't compete either.Comment

I've got a .22LR that my grandfather left me when he died. It's a Marlin Arms Model 60. Shit's not been fired in 20-30 years though lolOriginally posted by Jesus H ChristWow, that's more then a descent hunting rifle. Remember, the two things that will complete this package is the type of glass you put on it and the rounds you put in it.
I don't know if you have a small rim-fire but I would get that next so you don't develop a flinch reflex shooting that 30-06. Finally, your fun guns should always be synthetic stocks because the fancy wood ones will ruin your day when they get their first scratch..
Looks like a great Christmas for you!Comment

That's a decent rifle. Always wanted one of those actually. A nice midpoint between hunting rifle and an end-of-it-all weapon.
Damn I remember when you could get one for way less than that.Comment

AN AR-15 is very accurate, fast bullet, lots of different kinds of ammo. Loads of mods you can do to it. Get one with a heavy barrel. I have a scope for mine, but don't really need it, takes the fun out of it, but I can put in on the gun in a minuteCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about thatComment
