Want to work up to 1000yd...need build advice on the reasonable for the rifle

[bob4432]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I definitely overthink things, it is why it takes me forever to get things done .

I had thought about going straight to a 6.5C first, but I(!) need to learn to shoot at distance and in my head, I would just be wasting $$ on ammo since I wouldn't have the necessary knowledge to anything near accurate at that distance. I do like that

As far as finishing an 80%, I already have the parts, but maybe I will buy some well respected 80% lowers and send then to friend mentioned above as he has made thousands of them (understand their FFL info would have to go on the side and the lowers would have to go to a FFL, not a problem) and being AS9100 and ISO9100 Certified, they machine correctly as most of their machining is somewhere in the aerospace world, he probably had a program already where he could bolt in a 80% lower and finish it off as I think they are are running at least 4axis machines.

According to the ballistic calculators I seem to be very safe @ 600yds w/ a 16"brl, maybe I will start there and crawl before I walk.

Again, thanks for all the feedback.

Bob

Thanks for the link on the Remington - covers a lot of bases....
