Nice rifle. I was into marksmanship a few years back myself. I've put together a box of parts for an AR-10 custom build but I haven't had a chance to put things together. I'm actually downsizing my gun inventory and plan to get down to just my 9mm pistol and my AR-10 build rifle. That way, with today's ammo prices, I only need 2 calibers. When I was super into my target rifle, my best group was 1/4 inch at 100 yards- ie one ragged hole. I never got out past 500 yards because I didn't have a range that supported it. My target rifle was pretty cool. I built it off the Savage single shot target action with a custom McGowan bull barrel. I also had a machinist friend who has since passed fabricate a barrel tuner for me. I was able to tune the barrel to any factory round vice spending hours reloading ammo around my gun. Good times.One of those rifles looks a LOT like one that I had. As a retirement gift to myself, I ordered a custom precision rifle based on an Accuracy International chassis. I never got anywhere that I could stretch it out beyond 300m, but at 300m, you could cover a 10 shot group with the base of a coke can.
