I realize that if there was a "newbie" forum, that is where this question would go. I wanted to get a sniper rifle built, but I really want a semi auto as opposed to a bolt action. That being said, can someone tell me why a bolt action rifle is more accurate shot by shot than a semi-automatic?

As the title states, my brother has recently entered gun smith school. Not only does he get to re-blue 15 of the families guns for free, but he is also required to build 4 custom guns. And that’s where I come in. He is going to build 2 for himself, 1 for my dad, and 1 for me. Now, each gun has...

great idea:)

I'm getting those numbers from a mini 14 "accuizing" forum. And almost everyone says the same thing, crappy groups out of the box, half decent groups after work has been done to it. http://www.perfectunion.com/forums/index.php?showforum=55

Ok I tried this once before, and have since done a lot of research on every suggestion everyone gave. I’ve come up with a few preferences since then. I was dead set on a mini 14. Then I read what needed to be done to “accurize†the gun. I don’t want to take a gun out of the box and add...

Hmm, never thought to do a search, but a lot came up. Thanks, and sorry for taking up the space.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to buy for my first semi auto rifle since I keep reading about mini 14 accuracy problems(the gun i almost bought). I recently came across this M17s. I like the bull pup design which, to the best of my understanding, loses over-all length without...

Does anyone know a good site that I can punch up a gun make and model and get a price? Or if not that, at least something close to that so I can get an idea of what I will pay for a particular gun when doing my comparison shopping.

I'd love to have that gun, but it's a little out of my price range:(

Although i know ak's are supposed to be the timex of guns, i've also heard that accuracy isn't their strong suit. I think right now i'm in the market for a gun with some mid range accuracy. I'll have to shoot some guns and decide what i want, and what cal.

Here's a question. For the people that recommended guns that use ak clone parts such as SLR or SAR, why not just buy an ak?

Knife_Sniper , that is a good lookin gun. But I'm not really looking for "beautiful". I'd rather have something that's so wicked lookin' that people run in terror:cool:

I was looking to buy a nice first semi-auto rifle. I don't really know a lot about them, so anything you throw out there i can go do some research on. Anyway, i have around 800 bucks to spend, and was looking at maybe a mini 14 with a new stock, maybe an ar15, maybe a STG-58 clone. I want...
