Want to work up to 1000yd...need build advice on the reasonable for the rifle
#1
This was written on a phone, so if things seem off, you gotta love auto-correct...

Haven't shot in a bit due to just life stuff, but I need to get back to the range. Was thinking 100, 200, 600 & then 1000.

Can this be accomplished by a 16" brl, say BA Hanson style, AA, Faxon or these GREEN Mountain Barrels? Would like to stay as short as possible, obviously past SBR land.

Also, what do I need optics wise? I have heard plain 10x is g2g while others say variable ~5-20x is where it is at. I am in Phx, AZ so don't think any illumination of anything would be necessary, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Where I am at shooting wise ATM, hitting paper @ 600 (rusty) would make me a happy camper as I learn to read the wind, etc, then refine and shrink the groups.

Or, am I asking just too much from too little (both in length & quality).

There is A LOT if info out there that contradicts each other and I don't want to waste $$
FWIW, I plan on running a AGB, quality, lightweight internals, etc.

I want to start to reload but sneaking the ~$1000 by the Boss won't be easy...in the meann time will be shooting Hornady Match (as little as possible as I would like to stock up on Papua Brass) - also what about annealing after how many shots/brass? (And have a friend could probably machine me me a billet unit in either 6061 or 7075 to the .001 or even to the .0001 if necessary).

Please educate me.

So far, I have both BCM & Aero Precision uppers, plan on squaring those up - can the barrel extension to upper fit be 2 tight that it distorts the upper because with just a qpq extension, the BCM is very tight - can a upper to extension be so thight it distorts the upper itself thus throwing the whole upper out the window?

LaRue Target Trigger (these will be going in everything Smile)

Have a 13" V1 rail I am going to get rid if to pick up a V2. Is the upper to lower fit extremely important? If so I may ask a 80% lower / 100% non- anodized seller to hand select me a few pairs that are very tight.

Also, FWIW, I have certain reasons for going as small & lite as possible. Also, when I say 1000 I mean 1000, not 1150 or 1200. My elevation is ~1400' and at shooting time 40% or less humudity (if that matters). Also, can you tell me what weather parts matter

Thanks in advance,
Bob
