r/longrange

Just finished up this 22 Creedmoor, excited to see what it’ll do. I’m jokingly calling it my spare parts rifle since I sold an old rifle to buy the action, got the chassis in a trade a while back, and had a spare trigger and mount tucked away. That means it was basically free right?

Some details:

- Lone Peak Fuzion SA

- Bartlein 26” MTU 1-7tw

- cerakoted KRG Bravo w/ XL Enclosed Arca Foreend

- Trigger Tech Special

- Atlas SuperCal

- Leupold MK4 4.5-18x52 (for now)

Still tossing around what muzzle device I want to put up front…..

Considering the price and what people are getting out of the box, does it really get better? Also, how much better could it possibly get if you went the custom route? I'm trying to determine if the rifle is worth the purchase as it would be my first long range gun.

Long time lurker first time poster. First day out with the new gat, shooting pmc bronze 150 grain because it was the cheapest ammo I could find. Was able to ring steel at 600m sometimes. Gonna find match rounds to take it further.

MDT LSS gen 2 chassis

Vortex venom 5-25x56

Cheapest bipod I could find

So far this is really fun I’m excited to spend all my money on this.

No group photo because it wasn’t good

Visiting family in Idaho and they have a really good public range. Lots of steel targets out to 500+ yards. This is my 4th or 5th trip to this range.

I shoot a Savage Impulse Predator in 6.5 CM with a 20” barrel and a Discovery Optics 5-25 milrad scope (half a notch above an Arken 😂). This trip was using Norma Gold 130 g. This was a 3” hex plate at 532 yards. Wind was light coming from 9-11 some small gusts.

Sorry about the video (cheap amazon spotting scope but it works for now). There was another shooter shooting at the plates to the right and I had my spotting scope on the bench I was shooting from (eventually moved it to the ground and got more stable video)

Not the best setup but it works for me and my budget and like I said I have fun. The worst day at the range is better than the best day at the office.

My brother in law, son in law and myself are about to head out for the second day at the their long range school inland, Va. Feeling super confident we are all going to hit the 1000 yard target and hopefully beyond. I had never shot beyond 200 yards before and Dan, Forrest and Ron made it super easy to learn and become better marksmen. In the video I am taking shots at the 900 yard target and feeling super confident after 3 consecutive hits!

Shot 10 Rd groups with my RPR 6.5cm using 4 different cartridges. 1) Hornady ELDM 140g. 2) Federal sierra match king 140g. 3) Berger J4 target 140g. 4) Remington core lokt 140g hunting Rds.

I used the Remington to zero my scope ( Vortex Venom 5-25x56 FFP). From the recommended cartridges (Berger) shot the worse @100yards. Remington actually had a better group which was surprising since it's a hunting rd. what are your thoughts?

Anyone ever seen a barrel shoot this bad? 1:7 twist chrome lined.

This is with AAC 77 gr. Roughly 15 MOA 10 shot group.

All my other ar15s sit around 1-3.5 depending on the ammo, gun, and optic. Just thought it was funny.
