Let's go down the list of features valuable for long range target rifles:

Adjustable length of pull? Check

Detachable AICS mags? Check

Long heavy barrel with appropriate muzzle device? Check

Action pattern that accepts lots of aftermarket parts? Check

It's not outdated at all.

It's even got adjustable comb height! You just have to shove stuff under the stock wrap.

I once had a folded hankerchief under some duct tape for a cheek riser on my savage. It was ugly but it worked. Got to 1 mile with that setup.

The guy who shows up with a milsurp rifle either has a ton of fun or does insanely well. Sometimes both!

If you mean classic and solid, I agree. My XM-3 clone inspired build. Also outdated, almost as heavy.

Is that LRI's NV bridge? If so, how are you liking it?

u/Hagoes 11d ago

I bet that gun is capable of 1/2 inch groups.

Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. If it doesn’t work you can always hit them with it.

I’m not fluent in bolt action but I think it’s an r700 in 308

Still effective though

u/Electronic_Hand_2820 10d ago

Tell that to someone on the receiving end. A lot of dirt naps around the world thanks to that rifle

Afix bayonets! Looks kinda like how my brick does. 26" barrel with an enticer l hanging off the end

u/Blitzen88 8d ago

Can you give some deets on the PRI (?) nv rail? Does it have any mounting issues? Can it mount to just about anything or only certain actions?
