What sniper rifle was used in the movie “Phone Booth” ?
March 24th, 2011 by eranio
I think it was a AI AWM .300 Winchester
No way, it’s not a Remington 700.
Look at the stock

What is the standard sniper rifle that the US army and marine use?
March 4th, 2011 by eranio
I notice that from all the military shows I watch that every sniper has something different. I often see the Barrett .50 but that gun isn’t ideal for mobility. I also see the Remington 700 used as well. This gets me confused so I was just wondering if the US military’s sniper rifles are standard or does the military choose for them?
waiting for three answers

Building Marine Corps M40A3 sniper rifle. How much will it come up to and what are the specs? Trying to budget
February 11th, 2011 by eranio
I know it has a 25" schneider barrel. A McMillan A4 stock. Harris Bipod. Trigger guard and various parts from DD Ross, and that it is built on the Remington 700 short action. But what I don’t know is which Remington 700 model, there’s a 100 of them out there, and the price for one. Since I’m budgeting I’m hoping to get one for under 0…preferbly 0 or 0. Also the cost to true the action, and the kind of various work that needs to be done on the rifle by gunsmiths, with the cost as well.

What should my next gun purchase be?
October 17th, 2010 by eranio
More of an opinion question really but I really want some advice on what my next gun should be. I currently have three Remington 870′s (2×12 Gauge Super Magnums, one 20 gauge), a Norinco SKS, and Remington 700 in .270 with an older Leupold Vari-X scope hanging on my bedroom wall. I’m nineteen years old and live in Virginia. The only guns that technically belong to me are the SKS and the 20 gauge 870. The rest all belong to my dad and I hunt occasionly and have all my duck, rabbit, squirrel, and whitetail needs covered.
My question is what type of firearm should I get that is under 0-0 in price. I enjoy all kinds of shooting but am most experienced with shooting milsurp rifles and 100-200 yard hunting and target shooting. I was strongly considering picking up a Mosin Nagant just for the sake of adding to my ComBloc collection of military rifles. Next would be the AK which i could potentially get both for 0, 100 for the Mosin and 500 for the AK. I have also flipped around the idea of a Springfield XD or shelling out the big bucks and building my own AR for 00. I’m open to any suggestions from those of you who have a favorite gun or have faced a similar situation as me.
Also in VA it’s legal for me to posses a handgun just not to purchase one. My dad would be more than willing to buy me any handgun I wanted and I have numerous friends I could have buy me ammo. So handguns are part of the picture as well
I cannot afford to pay 10,000 dollars plus all the title II paper work and the 200 dollar tax stamp for an M16 and as much as I love the SCAR-H i believe they cost about 2,500 to 3000 dollars. Remember 0-0
I have six 22lr’s. A pump action, a semi auto rifle, two bolt actions, and for pistols a revolver and an automatic. Also no more shotguns
Seth just reminded me I’m also very interested in a marlin lever action or any other brand someone can recommend

Civilian Sniper Rifles?
July 22nd, 2010 by eranio
I am interested in getting a rifle, more for long range target shooting than hunting. I’m thinking .308 or .338 Lapua. Any comments on Caliber and/or grain would be most welcome.
I have shot plenty before, but haven’t done much long range shooting with a scope. My question is, if I get a rifle like a Remington 700, or a Ruger M77 Hawkeye, should I be able to hit targets beyond 1,000 yds? I believe that it’s the shooter not the gun that makes the difference.
Any advice on ammo, optics, technique, or rifles is welcome!
Thanks!

What is the best rifle I can buy for $1,000?
July 3rd, 2010 by eranio
I was going to invest in a new .308 Winchester rifle and have ,000 to spend (not including scope, bipod, etc.). I have heard good and bad about the Remington 700 and want some suggestions. I was particularly interested in a rifle that the military uses, but will settle for something else. Thanks.

M24 military rifle's parentage?
March 5th, 2010 by eranio
I keep seeing posts that the M24 is based on the Remington 700. I’d always thought it, like the Marines’ M40, was based on the 40 action. Am I wrong, or just being too picky?

What is the best ‘sniper rifle’ for a girl. I have been looking at remington 308 rifles-not sure tho-?
November 16th, 2009 by eranio
I am almost 5’7, medium/slim build and do have some experience shooting rifles…I am not to bad a shot!
Here’s some more info-NOT looking to take out any person! I dont know a lot about guns, I have a friend who reloads his 308 cartridges, & said in general 308 ammo is cheaper, he said I could learn to reload my own as well, that is why I thought of going with a 308. I LOVE to target shoot, and am thinking about trying hunting deer this fall. I grew up shooting 22′s and recently shot some semi auto assult riffles of my Dads and fell in love with the power of them compared to the 22′s. I want to get something I can target shoot from long distances-I enjoy it, especially with my guy friends who like to assume I cant! I do like military guns and that is part of it too….I don’t know much about any of it however. I have been told by my boyfriend that I should stick to a 308, and that he prefers a bull barrel and synthetic stock. I like to figure stuff out on my own so I am checking other peoples opinions. Let me know if you need more info from me! And thanks for all your help!
Oh ya, almost forgot. I dont want to spend much more than 0-0.00 to start with. I know this may not include a scope.
Here is some more…my boyfriends brother just bought a remington 700, 308…I forget the rest, but it is a bull barrel, and he bought a scope for it, but it is HEAVY! He said it will kick a lot more than any gun I’ve shot yet (I havent shot that many really). Some of your answers have mentioned some different caliber rifles, what is the big deal between them and a 308? And no matter what gun I went with, would I have to take it to a gunsmith and have it adjusted correctly? It sounds like if I went with a remington I would not have to maybe, but if I went with a Salvage or another kind, I would be better off to do that. what do you all say?
