Ode to the Sniper of this generation. Going Home.

Thank you ericire12, the box looks like a Big Red Bow would look lovely around that case.

This is the "bug" I have between now and October.

I know .308 are "pricey", as all ammo is now. and a Norinco SKS in 7.62x39, is more "cost effective", but when presented the chance to get a Rem700? I have a weakness for getting a really good one when I can, plus that rifle can be "tweaked"

(I'm still going to look for the Norinco)

Thanks again. to all who took the time to post, I knew you guy's would know the "skinny" on a great rifle.

You will have a hard time finding a Norinco anything, and when you do you will pay through the nose for it. There is a gun store near my house that has some Norinco stuff, AK's for $1500 -1800 and an SKS for $450, Get the European SKS, it's the same gun for $250.
Norinco has been banned from importing to the US for the last 10 years or more because they got caught selling SCUD missiles to North Korea and Syria. Interesting fact, Norinco is a front for the Chinese Army, and many of their factories are "Labor camps" attached to prisons.

twyacht,

You can't go wrong with a Rem 700!

Get the Remington.

The barrel maker that contracts with the USMCs also sells to the public, but I can't for the life of me remember who it is....... but technically you can get a custom job that is about 99% of what the Marine snipers are using

Just wanted to come back to this with a little more information.....

I found out that it is Gary Schneider who makes all of the barrels for the USMCs and the M40A3.
