Distance guys please check this out

*I placed this in the Noob shooter forum and got some looks but no replies. Please take a look for me.


I was reading this month's "Special Weapons for Military and Police" issue and the cover story pertains to a .308 Patriot Arms bolt action, but it never gave a model name. The kit comes complete with a handbuilt rifle, suppressor, 3.5-17x58mm SW&T scope, Raptor 6 power night vision scope, torque wrench, Leica rangefinder, and Leica 8x32 binoculars. Oh, a case is also included. I have more info on the rifle itself if needed. Problem is, I can't find this particular "gig bag" on Patriot Arms' website. Is anyone familiar with this?

I'm pretty interested, but I can't find a price or a broker. The article was well written, and it's a good read. there's also some information on a couple .338 Lapua rifles.

The author hit a target the size of a TIME magazine from 1952 (?) yards. 1.11-1.14 miles.

Yow, I hope they offer low interest 60 month financing on that puppy!

.338 Lapua is a sweety, I built a Rem 700 chambered for that one last year and I believe the AR 30 is available in .338 Lap as well. It will reach out there!
For varying distances I have decided that the following comprises a full and ready locker from near to far - .308, .300WinMag, .338 Lapua, .50BMG

To me that about covers it?
