Most accurate semi-auto for around $700 ?

Balbino · Jul 27, 2006

Just as the title asks. Im looking for the most accurate long range semi-auto gun for around $700. I was thinking about the Romak 3 but they want $789 and I heard they arent that accurate for whatever thats worth.

im wanting maybe 5 inch groups at 200 m if that is feasable.

Got a caliber in mind? You just looking to punch paper? Going to hunt anything specific?

Help me out here.

Edit: Oh yea, 5 inches at 200m isn't all that accurate. I can almost do that with iron sights on an M-16. Mine were about 6-7 inch groups from the 300 yard berm.

Well I would say look around for a PTR(precision target rifle) 91 in 308 Winchester/7.62NATO. SARCO inc was selling them for 695.00 new. Its basically a HK91 with some improvements to help accuracy. All parts interchange with the original HK though.

You may be able to pick up or build an AR for that as well. But I always go for a 30cal over the 223 AR anyday. They tend to be more reliable, and have more knockdown power at longer ranges.

Get a VEPR. :!:

Adler · Jul 28, 2006

The VEPR is hard to find right now due to a dispute with MOLOT who makes them for Robinson Armament. I guess they are now resuming production and a new batch is on its way for import.

I still say PTR

an ar-15 without optics can run right around $700, and can easily get the groups you've mentioned. hell, even a Mini-14 could come close to that grouping.

fatcat · Aug 14, 2006

got get a yugo SKS and get smaller groupings for under $150

So if I'm reading this, it's a HK91 knock off for about 900 bucks that shares interchangable furniture, parts, and magazines with the HK91/G3?

fatcat · Aug 15, 2006

Yep, uses many H&K 91 parts as well.

Score!

Found me a new Sub-1k "Survival" cannon chambered in a military caliber.

I'm liking that PTR-91 myself... But what's the difference between the RF and KFOF? Now I just need to save up ~$1,200.

RF = 18" heavy target barrel
KFOF = 16" heavy target barrel

Scirion · Aug 16, 2006

So... that's the only difference that makes for a $100 increase in price? o.0 That must be one nice barrel...

fatcat · Aug 16, 2006

lol Thats how it is with things. The same gun, you add 3 inches on to the barrel and its 100 bucks more.

jhumpich0311 · Oct 1, 2006

ar15 all the way

you can get a dpms ar15 for 650-750, i get 2-3 inch groups at 300m and 6-8 inch groups at 500m (from a 20" barrel)

$N][P3R · Oct 1, 2006

well im withfatcat im going to say that the SKS is about the best weapon to own for the price range, plus the ammo is kick ass

with mine: gun, cleaning kit, ammo- about $205.73
