How the hell did I miss this thread.

Here is one of my long range reach out and touch someone toys.

It is an Iron Brigade Armory Chandler M40 Long Range Precision Rifle

Spec's

Remington 700 .308
Hart 26 inch Stainless Steel Fluted Heavy barrel
McMillan A5 Stock
Leupold Mark IV 4.5-14 X 40 mm with custom Premier MILDOT reticle.

I hand load my rounds for this gun.
42 grains of IMR 4064, 175 gn Sierra Match Kings.
2650 muzzle velocity. At this speed they stay super sonic out past 1000 yards.



My last four acquisitions were

Armalite AR-10 M4
Armalite AR-10 SASS
Kimber Eclipse II .45
Benelli M4 12 gauge.

^ Very nice rifle. I debated saving up and buying a Remington 700 or a Winchester 70 a while back, but decided instead to use the saved funds on a Sig 556 Classic SWAT.

One question, though. If I may ask, why 2 AR-10's?

I also just purchased a new rifle. In 22 hours, I will be the proud new owner of a Savage 64F .22. Also known as Lilly 5.

They're two different animals as they say.

The M4 is a short barreled .308.

The SASS (Semi Automatic Sniper System) is a long range weapon.



The M4 is a 400 meter gun while the SASS is good for 800 plus meters.

The mouse guns (AR-15) are fun but I moved up to .308 for a change.

In fact my first Semi Auto rifle was and is still my favorite, a Springfield Armory M1A Super Match. A few years ago I had it re-barreled with a Krieger heavy barrel and had it gone over by Charles Maloney a semi-retired National Match Gunsmith who's located just outside of Baltimore MD.

That Savage is really nice. I've been looking for a nice .22 rifle but haven't decided on which one. I'm partial to finding a clean Winchester 52 to add to my collection. I already have a Winchester 9422 which I really like. Most of the bolt actions I've held are almost like kid guns and that is why I'm looking for either the Winchester 52 or a Remington 40X in 22 long rifle. The 40X's are almost impossible to find on top of the exorbitant prices people are asking for one when they do come available.

I see. Money is the biggest concern for me now. Otherwise, I'd need an armory to hold all the guns I'd buy. I guess I would rather have multiple rifles for different ranges.

The M1A is one of my dream rifles. Once I find a Standard with a Walnut stock for a more affordable price, I'm dropping everything and buying that. Unfortunately that may be a while. Around here, I've seen the standards go for around $1500-2000. Maybe once I get a more stable, higher paying job. I've also entertained the idea of making a life-goal of saving up for an M25 White Feather.

(In case you didn't know already, my user name is based off the man the rifle is named after.)

Congrats on getting the Savage, they make probably the best .22 out there, at least for a reasonable price.

If I were to do the M1A/M14 route I'd have to find a USGI parts kit I think, I'd maybe go the Norinco route as they are at least reasonably priced, and have a nato chamber to boot.
