High value predator rifle?

[Steve300xcw]

Likewise…. $14/box Frontier ammo flattens everything I shoot at

I've been messing with the AAC stuff from palmetto. Have not ran it across a chronograph but accuracy so far has been way better than expected.

Ran out of value when you replace everything

what?

If you already know you're replacing the stock, grabbing a Howa barreled action would be your other option. Brownells has 223, Grendel, 6ARC, etc. Add an MDT field chassis for $299.

Keep an eye out for discount codes that come around frequently and you can do pretty well in terms of accuracy and value for dollar.

i think this is the best option if he is wanting to replace the stock.


That or find a rem 700 or clone of one used and upgrade as he sees fit

I thought about a barreled action from Howa too, but with a 90° bolt angle, I worried about clearance with the big thermal scope and gloves

15 rounds of ADI 69 SMK from a Gen2 Ranch.
I call this a 12 for 15 group.

10 rounds of 77TMK/XBR/ADI/CCI 400’s from a Gen1 Ranch.

DAMN! Sounds like the heavier bullets may be favored for that gun… tell me about the stock on the gen1

It’s a factory stock that I modified to have an “appropriate” grip.
I’ve done a couple of them.

Ruger American Vertical Grip

I looked for a long time to try and figure out a good way of modifying a Ruger American stock to have a vertical grip. I found a thread on Rimfire Central where a man had modified a factory stock using basically just the bedding blocks. Thumbhole, high roll over cheek piece, and wide fore end. A...

This is the write up with some pictures. Feel free with questions if you’re interested. I’ll help with what I can.

I wouldn't exactly call $550 a high value rifle.

What would you consider a high value rifle?

Any other work done to them besides your stock work? Or are they just “that accurate”?

I back the trigger adjustment screw down as far as it will go and take the blade out.
Barreled actions are stock.

Can you elaborate on the blade removal? What’s the reason for that?

Just look at it. It is very obvious

What’s the reason for that?

Its dumb

 

[BLJ]

Personally, I don’t like the way the blade feels. I like a normal trigger better. I’m just too cheap to buy one.

High value to me meant one that cost some serious coin. Something in the $10K range and up.
Regardless, the OP had a different meaning and I missed his intentions.

 

[BLJ]

Removal is pretty easy once the barreled action is removed from the stock.
I can pull one and get some pictures for you on what to remove if you like.

My high-value brokedick thermal rifle is a Gen1 Ranch in grendel with a high-value Wraith mini thermal attached. MOA to 800 with factory 123's....

Homie you bag a house cat? Haha

You must not understand what value means then…. The American is a damn good rifle for 550… that’s what value is. I didn’t say it’s a Sauer or a Blaser

So during the old covid times I found a gen 1 rar .223 1-9, 22” barrel. Paid 400ish for it. Great value for what it is, comes threaded, groups 55 grn cheapo fantastic and has killed a small pile of yotes, thermal scope would be a great addition! I put together a tikka t3x .223 with the 1-8 and it’s arguably nicer, but ran me an additional 500ish after cut, thread, cerakote

0 hate from me, they are serial killers. I was just scrolling and was like wow that is the weirdest bobcat I’ve ever seen….
