Long Rifle

I think its time to start my long rifle build. I'm thinking maybe in the 308 lapua or possibly the 7.62 maybe even 22lr. Any thoughts on what caliber. I'm leaning towards the 308 Lapua

What are you using it for

308 Lapua? No such animal. Do you mean 338 Lapua?

If you do mean 338, you might want to check the price of ammo to feed them.

After that, narrow down you choices a little. Anything from 22LR to 338 Lapua is pretty broad.

I say .22lr. Reach out there.

Then you need someone calling your shots. So that's 2 guns?

I don't even...

I can't...

I could have sworn that when I was looking at 308 online they labeled it 308 lapua. Not to say that the online article had a miss print. But either way I feel the need for a long rifle. Just wish the stores close to me had bare stocks.

Hoser knows. Listen to him.
If you want to look at LR gear, go to Mile High Shooting in Erie, they has the goods in stock.
Biggest thing you need to decide is: What is long range shooting to you? 600y? 1200y? Decide this, decide you budget and then we can help you.

Don't forget how much do we , I mean you, have to spend.

^this

Was at Cabalas 338 Lapua was only $82 per box of 20. If I read the label correctly

It would be a long drawn out build for sure. But that's what I did when I built my ar. I would buy parts as I got spair chash. It's what I do

At that price, we should all have a rifle chambered in it.

That's why most of us reload it.

Screw $4-7/rd.

Don't forget to budget for glass and ammo when you are thinking through what you want to build.

Good glass is important for LR.
