Want a High Powered Rifle
 

What is without a dout the best quality rifle out there that will group out to about 450 yards in like an inch or so. I want the best quality because im a firm believer of you get what you pay for. Caliber doesnt matter because it will be for target only. Mabey somthing that will be good for Deer and Elk when I get out west in a couple years. I was thinking somwhere about a 7mm round. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

just dont think its possible and at least a 5000.00 rifle at least

Apparently with he doesn't know enough about guns to shoot 1'' at 450 yards.

It would have to be a second custon beause he would have to burn the barrel out of the first building up enough skill to shoot 1'' at 450 yards.

Well its pretty clear I dont know much about high powered rifles, What is the average group at 450 prone. Like I said this would be mainly for target shooting. Im on our schools rifle team and can clean a target prone, 100.10, set the school record. Just want somthing with a little more kick then a .22. And im shooting like a 4500.00 .22 so I was planning on spending that or more. Is there a way to buy a custom rifle somwhere?

Average rifle at 450 will shot 6''-10'' a good custom rifle will do 2''-4'' some can do the 1'' you want but its alot different them shooting 100 yards. Look for a custom gun maker with a good reputation and they can do it for $4500. Check out Allen Percison Shooting.

Tell you what...Now I really hate to part with it, but I have a couple of daughters in college, one's getting married and another is pregnant, so money down here is tight...

I've got a custom, .243 with a Shilen target barrel...The trigger is set at a crisp 2 1/2 pounds, she is free floated and piller bedded, the action has been bedded, lapped, squared and trued...The scope is a Leupold and she has been sent back so it's parallex free and adjustable for both windage and elevation...I've killed about 175 deer with this gun and never missed a one...I've killed them out to a ranged 350 yards...If you do your part, all your bullets will be touching at 300 yards...You won't find a better rifle...

I truely hate to part with her, but if you really want this fine a rifle, they don't come cheap...

I'll take $5,300 for her...Just let me know how you would like to send me the funds...

a 5 inch group at 450 yrs would be great shooting but i still would think more in the 7 to 10 inch group and hope no wind

RE: Want a High Powered Rifle
 

If you are going to be serious target shooting, take a long hard look at the Tubb 2K rifle. Its one of the best centerfire target rifles ot there. Get one in 6.5 creedmoor and you'll have long range ballistics better than a 300 magnum with recoil less than a .308. It will set you back abot $5000 once you get the rilfe +sights. Worth it, I wish I had the money for one. If its target shooting you will be mostly doing with it, there is no reason to compromise and buy a hunting rifle and trying to pound a square peg in a round hole.

Thank you, I will be looking at that rifle for sure, It looks a lot like the comeptiotion air rifle I shoot.

I'll Keep you guys postest but I wouldnt buy till the whether turned better here or I move down South.

RE: Want a High Powered Rifle
 

I'm not sure about a 1" group as far out as you are talking about, but this wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Bring your checkbook...

First, what are these $4500 .22's that a school has enough for a team?

Second, try doing some actual researching, you know homework, on the subjects. (Google is your friend) You'll get more from the reasearch (tangents ar good sometimes) and perhaps better undertand what it is you're looking at for equipment and prices. Lots of sites specifcially geared toward long range shooting. Maybe even ask the shooting coach.
Baby steps...shooting 100 is all well and good, 150, 200 fine but you don't jump from 100 to 450 overnight and expect to shoot 1" groups.
On specific disciplines, it's better to find the sites & forums dealing with that specific area not a general "hunting" based forum. Be kinda like finding a broad based, blanket forum on cars and asking about technical aspects on a Bugati.

You can get the best of the best built by top notch gunsmiths here in PA and put a Nightforce scope on it for around $5,000. If you want all out custom to shoot little tiny groups at 500 yards Call Eric Springman or Mark King. Bat Action, 8 twist Krieger barrel, McMillen Stock, Jewell trigger chamber it in a 6BR and shoot 108 Bergers. Not a High Power but if your punching paper so what. If you want a high power to kill big stuff go with the same set up with a big 30 cal. in a 10 twist. 300WBY, Win Mag, 300 WBY Improved, 300 WSM pick a heavy bullet with a high BC and start shooting. 190 and 210 grain Bergers work good and in the 300 improved the 240 SMK's are hard to beat

That rifle is my own, had to get a ton of paperwork done to bring that thing to the range in school. The other team doesnt shoot that great but they are about 2,000 or so each and are about 20 years old. They all shoot fine for being that many years old and god knows how many shots through them. Our school did just buy the team a nice air rifle too, just like mine except it doesnt have a dry fire mechanism.
