Please QC My Proposed LR Rifle Setup
Yes I read the FAQs, Google Sheets, and guides. The guides said the B-14 is better for the same price because of R700 footprint. But I can get the chassis, mags, and parts I want for the tikka. And I read that B-14s can be picky on ammo and QC isn’t as good. It said the CTR stock is bad but I’m putting it in chassis. Am I missing something? I was super interested in the SOLUS competitor but cannot find it in stock anywhere. Do I roll with this or just start with an action and barrel and go from there? Ight now tear my shit apart. Pause.
Purpose: PRS / NRL Matches, very occasional hunts (I know, still gonna be a LR setup) and overall fun.
Distance: out to ~1000
Context: I want a folding stock. I want arca. I’m set on 6.5CM. Im set on suppressed. Im open to thoughts on barrel lengths.
