2MOA, less than $200, 300 yards

[ChalupaCabras]

An H&R single shot with an aftermarket stock and a bi-pod would meet all of your qualifications.

Actually the Wylde chamber is a slightly generous 223 chamber with a slightly longer freebore/throat/lead than the 5.56.

fixed it!

Keep trying, you'll get it eventually.

It might be easier if you look at the chamber print comparison I posted above.

You use to be able to find a K31 Swiss for under $200. They shoot the 7.5x55 which is similar to a 308 win.

Exactly what I was thinking.

or the 6.5x55 Swede.

As I posted in a related thread, I bought a used NE handi-rifle in .223 at a gun show for $150. I shot it for the first time today. It appears to shoot a little over 1 MOA, though each group had one shot that was noticibly further away. Without the one odd shot per group, the rifle would actually be closer to 1/2 MOA, as crazy as that may sound. Very pleased with the purchase, thanks to those of you who advised me about this rifle.

BTW, these groups were shot with a cheap Simmons scope that came with the gun, and bulk reload ammo purchased at the gun show.

I had a buddy that had an H&R and he loved it, I had a real hard time getting comfortable with it, I'm 6'7" and often have that problem.

Clearly I am the least bullet savvy member here... but just to throw it out there... won't some (303, nagant) mil-surplus get 2MOA and reach to about 300yds? And easily break $200?

K31 is going to be hands down the leader. K31's will shoot better than most ~$1,000 bolt action rifles.

That said, for 2MOA a Mosin, Mauser or K31 will easily do that. All three of those rifles will land hits w/o a problem at 500 yards (and beyond).

The skill (and vision) of the shooter will determine if you need to put optics on it, when shooting beyond 300 yards.

Who are you buying rifles from?
