[FONT=&][FONT=&]I have private access to a range that maxes out about 650 yards..and really want to build a midrange/long range gun capable of shooting accurately at that distance. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&][FONT=&]Budget $1500 plus Glass.. likely go Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP, considered the MK5 by Leupold but can’t justify it for a 50 round a month/600 round annual gun. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&][FONT=&]I’m stuck between building/assembling an AR10(Aero revivers, likely a Ballstic Advantage barrel, Geissele trigger, JP bolt(Fulton cattier) which puts me right about $1500 or getting a Bergara Premier LRP (right at $1500 with discount) [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&][FONT=&]I would likely chamber the AR10 in .308 and the Bergara in 6.5... [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&][FONT=&]What’s leading me to AR10 is longevity of barrel especially with budget ammo.(likely start hand-loading shortly after owning a larger caliber) [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&][FONT=&]However I know it will not be as accurate as a BA gun in regards to its semi action and requires much better fundamentals- which I think could be of benefit in gaining/building a better foundation of skills in regards to longer range shooting, so I don’t necessarily see that as a negative. [/FONT][/FONT]

[/FONT]
[FONT=&][FONT=&]At 600 yards I really don’t see the benefit of the ballistic advantage to the 6.5 however as my intro to mid range shooting I’m afraid I’ll enjoy it so much and want to reach out to 1000 in due time, leaving me with buyers remorse having chosen the .308. [/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=&][FONT=&]Help me decide, what would you choose and why?[/FONT][/FONT]
