What is your favorite long range rifle setup?

Thank you! I have both my current guns set up and shooting now. Grey gun is 300 Norma Improved and the tan gun is a 6 PRC.

It’s a sweet shooter!! I’m currently shooting a 108 ELDM at 3250fps with 53gr. H4831SC. 24” Bartlein Rem Varmint 7.5 twist.

I have have a 9 twist barrel to play some of the lighter bullets during the off season

That’s a hard question. I’ve had some serious shooters over the years. I have three that come to mind.

My first real long range hammer was a custom:
Stiller
300wm built by LRI (my 248 mod 1 chamber)
Bartlein 26” M24 barrel
Pre 2014 AX Chassis

Current rifle is
Alamo precision built
30nosler
Definace anti
Proof sendero 26”
Ag adjustable hunter

And the rifle in a class of its own…
Barrett MRAD IN 338 Lapua
Nightforce NSX 3-15 FFP

Where did you get a FFP NXS 3-15?

Several years ago, a friend was helping a widow move some stuff for her late husband and he didn’t want it so I ended up buying it. They were only made for a short amount of time and are hard to come by these days.

My current long range set up is a nosler mod. 48 long range carbon in 300 wm. I have had good success out to 1200 yards on steel with this rifle shooting handloaded 190 grn nosler acubonds and also 178 grn Hornady eldx. I don't shoot at game past 500 yards simply because I enjoy the stalk and the hunt honestly 99% of my shots are under 300 yards. And I typically shoot 180 grn acubond loads. I have been getting 1/2 moa accuracy. I have been testing the 200 grn federal terminal ascent this year with good results. I get about 3/4 moa with it and it hits hard and has good weight retention. I don't see it being as good of a long range shooting load as my others but it will hunt for sure.

Anybody shoot a bix Andy and a trigger tech? Curious which is better

I’ve tried the Bix and Andy Dakota and didn’t care for it much. Not sure how many triggers they have, I’m sure they have better triggers. I am slowly switching everything to TT diamonds now.

3 of my rifles have triggertechs. They are awesome.

I've had a few, the one I somewhat regret was a 30 Nosler.
All by APR with TT's.

30 Nosler, Mk5, Def Tenacity, AG stock, 26 inch muller in a 10 twist with a Vias radial brake. Shot the 215 and 230s great.

Currently a 7 Saum, MK5 Def An-Ti, AG, SSR 4 port Ti brake 20 inch muller in an 8.5 twist running 180 hybrids. Going to start testing the 155 Hammers soon for a short to mid range home option.

Ordered a 338 RUM, Trigicon Tenmile, Def Classic, 26 inch 9 twist Bart, SSR 5 port Ti brake, Manners. Looking to run 250-300s; Berger, SMK and Super Bull Dozers.
