Thread: websites to keep an eye on looking for rifles

My real interest tends to 308 (its specific to long range but also a very general purpose round and, cheap). Class, well real competing is just too dollar intensive now and I just want to improve my shooting / have fun.

I'd go plama if I could but say a Savage M12 is $3100 front sight $900 and rear peep sight $600, bye bye the best part of $5k, even with a second hand gun its close to $4k (about $2.5k plus sights). So I probably wont end up not doing palma. That leaves F - open and in that I could also pop furry things with the same gun

Since my local 22 range is <5mins away and 22LR ammo is 9 to 18 cents Im looking for a good 22 first off but not a dedicated target gun. I dont want to compete just blow holes in things uh I mean practice ;] so say a Savage BTVSS mk2 or better...lots of choice from $800 to $1500 that looks reasonable and good enough.

@cyclist at that cost I could get a M12 and get it re-barreled with a tru-flite!
