1000 Yards for $500 - Budget Long Range Rifle Introduction | The Social Regressive

Is it possible to put together a budget long range rifle for less than $500? Given the accuracy potential of today's budget deer rifles, I believe the answer is "Yes."

Come along with me as I turn an inexpensive off-the-rack deer gun into a competition rifle. I will only use new, commonly available components: the sort you would buy from a sporting goods store or an online retailer like Amazon.com. My father-in-law and I will give the rifle a tune-up and bed the action into a heavy laminate furniture.

To test this rifle, I will compete in two NRA Highpower matches at Tulsa's Red Castle Gun Club: one at 600 yards, and one at 1000 yards.
