My long range precision rifle build finally done!!! PICS - 04/01/11 06:15 PM

We finally finished last night late. We finally got around to chambering, and threading the barrel last night. This is a MK13 Mod 5 soccom sniper rifle clone, the AICS are in service in militaries around the globe. Shot my partners and have been drooling over one ever since. I will use this gun for fun, hunting, and competing in sniper matches at Tiger Valley. Will be hitting the 1k yard range my buddy has in Burleson next week to start stretching her legs.

Specs: Accuracy International AICS 1.5 stock
300 Win Mag
Shillen Barrel
Badger Knobs and base
Leupold 6x18 scope (this will be upgraded to Nightforce shortly)
YHM 762 SS phantom silencer, waiting on QD mount for it.

Trigger is set at 2 pounds, zero creep.




Here is link, where an AICS rifle made the longest confirmed sniper kill.

Record shot linky


Here is an actual Mk13 mod 5, got close enough for government work. LOL

Thanks! Yes, he is the best smith I know. Glad we work together.

There is a reason his shop is always packed with jobs and most from repeat customers. He is a perfectionist for sure, never ever heard of someone leaving unhappy in 3 plus years now.

Buddy built one on his land. I am headed down to our land today, and gonna scout for a long range place on mine. I think the max I can find a spot on my land is gonna be 800 yards or so.

I already had several components, but if someone was gonna build similar would break down like this.


Accuracy International AICS 1.5 stock $900ish
300 Win Mag
Shillen Barrel $200-300 depending on options
Badger Knobs $30 plus machine labor
Leupold 6x18 scope $550ish
YHM 762 SS phantom silencer, waiting on QD mount for it. $600ish
Remington 700 donor rifle $600ish
Badger $140ish
Badger Rings $100ish
Machine work would run about $350

So to build a similar rig would be in the vicinity of $3,000ish

Only shot it 3 times this weekend, mainly for function etc. Will shoot it seriously next weekend, once my flashhider mount comes in for my can.

Other changes I am making after shooting those three rounds. My scope needs to be a little further back, and am ditching the Harris Bipod. These stock come factory ready for a Versapod, these will work alot better for my terrain. Its so dry where my land is, my harris was sliding around too much.

Gun shot great though, will really test it next weekend.

How much noise reduction do you get out of that silencer?

Re: My long range precision rifle build finally done!!! PICS - 04/11/11 01:26 AM

Which ammo you plan on shooting?

Ton of reduction, especially on a bolt gun. The can makes the kick feel like and AR. No hearing protection required at all, like a .22.

I'm going too soon. Just experimenting right now. I am still getting my setup done at my house we just bought. We have it setup at the shop, but will have more time to load once my setup at home is how I want it.
