I'm new, and I shoot long range!

[bengates]

I'm new to the forum and thought I'd say hello. I have built about 15+ AR's over the past few years and am going to start another 6.5 Grendel build soon.

I am spending most of my time doing long range shooting now days. I own a Desert Tactical and am a Schmidt & Bender guy. Anyone else into that kind of stuff? I'm hoping to pick up a Sako TRG in the near future as well, but we'll see how that turns out.

Thanks everyone, and I look forward to learning more from everyone.

I'm a NoOb long range shooter... it's always fun putting expensive holes on the ground [LOL]

Thanks guys. I once did a 24inch Grendel build that was nice, but I think I want this next one to be an SPR or battle rifle style. I was thinking about using a Mega billet upper and lower - you guys got any thoughts? Also, I would like to get a good quality 16 or 18 inch barrel and matching bolt. Perhaps AA is the way to go, but I'm open to others.

I was thinking Leupy MK8, or maybe an ELCAN Spector. Basically, I'm going to take my time and build this one up nice right from the get go.

Welcome Ben! There are lots of active and skilled shooters here, I have met quite a few here that share the same addictions and are solid, fun people to spend time burning powder with.
You will love the TRG... pick one up soon if you are looking for a 300wm, those are disappearing fast.

Yeah, that's what I ordered back in January and I'm still waiting for it!! I'm not sure if it will come through though :( I already have a 308 and 338, so I thought the 300wm would be fun! Oh well, might not happen!
