Hey everybody. Another guy looking to get into long range shooting. I think I've settled on 6mm GT. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on rifles. Nothing too crazy. I'd be looking at production class if anything once I bone up on skills. Pretty sure they have a $3K limit. I don't know of many long distance ranges in the WNY area so I suppose it's just for recreation as I try to progress. I'd rather get something that is better then I am so I don't have to buy again later. Let me know your opinions. Thanks
6mm GT Rifle recommendations
- Thread starter Holland
- Start date
Shop I quasi-associate with had a Customer that had a lot of exotic 6mm caliber Bench Rest/Long Range Rifles; he passed away and the Shop was tasked with selling them, essentially you can buy a ready to roll Rifle for about the cost of the Action (precision, custom actions, not reworked Remingtons or other Common Commercial Rifles) We brought them and tons of accessories to the last Hamburg and Syracuse Show, and I anticipate we'll bring what's left there again Sept. 6 & 7 or you can call/visit the Shop in Evans Mills. I don't remember the details, but ALL of them were damn nice!

I did not know that....they were selling complete Rifles for about the cost of the Action alone.
I help them with Gunshows, have for years, so last time I saw them was packing up after the last Hamburg Show...sorry for wasting your time.

Granted they're not the caliber you specified, but they're ready to kick ass, there's tons of Bullets, and other accessories.
This Post IS NOT an offer to sell, only letting folks know what's at the Show.

Years ago I was on the hunt for a 300-yard (and in) woodchuck rifle. Found The Shooters Corner in Lake Hoptcong, NJ. Mom & Pop store owned & operated by a Benchrest medal holder and top gunsmith Bob White. I settled on a gently used Sako single shot rifle in 6PPC that cloverleafs @ 200 yds w/varmint bullets. Call Bob , or at least go to the Shooters Corner website and see his inventory of precision rifles. He’s a very nice guy to deal with.
