those cooper rifles have a guarantee of 1/2 groups at 100 yards. but they are about 1k

well im intending target shooting b.c im playing on going into the marines as a sniper...hoora...but anyways i love the sport of shooting(that is non-killing) and i wanna push the limits .....i preiviously was scavaging for money bout got a new job so im playing to dish out a couple paychecks to get a awsome gun.... but still be in a fair price...i want 30-06 so i can shoot target as well as hunt.....i have studied and shot constatly, my shoting is not the delema its an affordible gun that i can get hard shots...im a savage man but im willing to go for the rem 700 ????

"To those militants and minors who believe sniping is about killing, they are partially right. Sniping involves death. Yet, it is not the killing that a sniper enjoys. It may not even be the hunt. It is the satisfaction that multiple lives have been saved by the death of one individual. Anything less, and a man ceases to be a sniper; he becomes a madman."
MAKO

I would just wait until you get into the Marines and get used to whatever weapon they issue you. Then when you get out, buy one just like it so your already use to shooting long range with it. IMO

Go with whatever gun you use on Counterstrike.

if only i could afford and AWP i would be in heven .....**** id be god himself

oww btw im not some punk ass tough kid that thinks he ganna join the army to shoot ****...thats how u get killed!!!!! i wanna give a child a choclate bar

HOORA
(i got into west point and im going to be a doctor/sniper ....keep myself in buizness)

The "most" of anything positive and being "cheap" just don't fit together. At some point you compromise, either on performance or cost. Make the choice! It's not so easy as saying model "X" or model "Y". it''s a combination of gun, shooter and cartridge. Finiding the preferred bulet/load combination can help make most any decent gun a very good shooter. Weather the shooter himself can do the rest is not always a gaurantee. Also, a qulaity scope adds to the price too and also plays a part in the equation.
Were it me, for the money, I'd look at Savage.

After reviewing your spelling, I have a hard time believing you got into West Point.

To answer your question, if you're looking for a rifle that is similar to a sniper rifle, try to get your hands on a Remington 700 Police chambered in .308. You'll have to do some looking to find a dealer that can get ahold of one for you since you're a civilian.

LMAO!!! I have to agree.
