So, let me get this straight. I have to choose between the SKS, the BAR, AND the Remy 710? Or just the SKS and the Remy pictured?

Define long range for you. Long range is subjective.

I guess, what is your intent for the weapon in question?

While I don't feel as strongly as Robo about the trade, I have to side with him.

The Sig P-220 is a very nice gun. Why get rid of it for an inferior bolt/semi weapon?

None of those weapons would make a "good sniper rig" in my opinion. Could I a couple of them work? Sure. Would it shoot as well as a factory or custom rig, probably not.

Of the three, and speaking merely from a platform to improve standpoint. I would rate them like this, depending on condition of all the firearms of course.

BAR
Remy
SKS

Ineffable, kudos at your good sense of humor. I don't think JP meant anything serious by it - but the thread direction has taken a bit of a turn that isn't normal.... LOL

If you want to get a weapon platform, capable of the longer range, Zombie stopping type of hits you seem to be describing, none of these is a great choice for you.

Could they be made to work? Yes. Are they ideal? No.

550 yards is a long ways brother. 5 football fields if you think about it, just about endzone out of bounds to endzone out of bounds.

Should SHTF, do you have 500 plus yards of open field within your free fire zone around your place? If you do, then I suppose it's a valid concern.

If you walked into the shop with the same criteria, none of the weapons listed would be the direction we would point you towards. For what it's worth...

PS - Every house should have a good quality boltgun in it. They are just so useful for all sorts of things. :D

Ha. I live in north Texas and I can see across the state.
You live in North Texas and don't own a long gun?!?! I thought they issued you those when you were either 1) Born there or 2) Moved in.

You aren't a Kommunist are you?! ;) LOL

For North Texas Zombie Work - You need a .308 or larger weapon, preferably a bolt gun, with nice optics and an internal box mag for follow up shots.

Gov Rick Perry is a left leaning republican, so I didn't get my gun. I'm trying to do it all on my own now :)

Thanks! That is the answer I need.
If you want, when you get serious, send me a PM with your wants and wishes, along with your budget and I will see if I can't get you pointed in the right direction.

And a BIG +1 on building a long range precision rifle---- NOT a SNIPER rifle.
Dude - Don't kill a nitch market for us here in the PNW... LOL

We sell "S" word rifles all the time, we just don't market them on the internetz for all the Lefties to point their fingers at...

The "S" word is thrown about on all sorts of "kit" ( Oh yes, you know I went there ) for build requests coming through the door.

Discretion is the key - not ADVERTISING it in the Left's face...:D

Sorry my bad-- go rent Shooter and run to your favorite Smith and tell him you want a bolt action Barrett M82 rifle just like the one Marky Mark used in the movie!

Am I the only one that notices that stuff?
*literally laughing out loud*

That scene is classic. Why is he racking that bolt each time? LOL You know, they did so well with the mil dot usage too - and got that so far off...

I may have been the only one in the whole theater pointing out the fact that "paper patching" from a .50 caliber Barrett isn't going to match a direct bore fired, proprietary Chey Tac .416...LOL

Ah, that was funny. I need that this evening. Thanks JP

Sure that makes a difference-- thank you for serving.
Thank you for your kind words. As for your offer:
I'll give you a set of Badger scope rings, 20 MOA base, and a HS PRECISION "tactical" stock for your SIG. Now that is a fair trade. :D
If the Scope Base is Badger Ord also, and the rings aren't some whacked out size, that's not a bad deal Ineff... depending on the condition and model of the HS Precision of course. If it's in two pieces, then I would shy away... LOL

Then you only need an action, a barrel and a scope to get into the realm you are talking about. All quality stuff there...
