Jow Forums, Are there any modern rifles that are similar in the aesthetic of the M40A1 available for a decent price and a "common" caliber?
I don't necessarily want this to be the camo colors, but the general lines with the fat barrel are incredibly appealing to me.

>are there any modern bolt action rifles with heavy barrels in common calibers?
Is this a fucking joke?
Ever been to a gun store once in your life?
Not a joke, I just do not hunt or do long range shooting. That might change soon with some property I am looking at and I want a decent rifle that mirrors the aesthetic of this one.
Length of barrel? Is the stock bedded?
The M40A1 is a Remington 700 in a glass bedded stock with a bull barrel.
There you go imbecile, try google next time.
>Mossman Patriot
Kek the Ruger American would be a better price to quality ratio bud.
I’ll post some of my own designs that I think would fulfill all your hopes and dreams user.
pls no bully. I've been Nogunz for all my life until last year.
If that doesn’t wet your whistle this sure will
Literally any .308 or 6.5 creedmore with a heavy profile barrel in a hunter-style tactical stock with a fixed 10 powers scope.
My rifle looks very similar. It's a Savage 10T in .308 in a Choate Tactical stock with a SWFA 12x scope. I have about $1800 into it and it shoots lights out.
Which rifle is in pic related? It looks quite similar.
Actually this one
You've already been told, faggot. Now go away.
Thank you, going with the VLS model.

Model 70 heavy barrel nam style
If you are buying new, the Remington 700 5R I believe is the only model they are making right now with a 24" heavy barrel. The Police and Varmint models come with 26" barrels now. You can drop a .308 5R 700 in a McMillan stock and get a 1907 leather sling and have a fairly accurate M40A1 clone, but unless you have thousands to drop on a scope you might have to settle for something other than one of those Unertl ones they use.
nice

Going out of business since a hedge company bought it via stocks and drove down production value for those sweet dolleerdoos when?
>precision rifle
>decent price
Precision shooting isn't really for poorfags
>isn't really for poorfags
You're right you know. It is for penny pinching brass jews that scream about "muh reloading & sueperrrrior BallIstics". Burn out that barrel richfag burn it out like a candle in a bonfire.
GA precision makes actual M40, A1-A6
Texas brigade armory makes them too but cheaper and you provide the action.
Or just buy a rem 700 spsaac sd 20in and throw it in a mcmillan or whatever.
But if it were me, and i was doing my firstlong range again, howa 1500 on a krg bravo chassis
I have a 1977 700 .308 BDL "Varmint Special". The only differences between it and an original USMC Vietnam M40 are:
Action and barrel is not parkerized
Receiver is not "clip slotted"
Walnut stock is checkered and high gloss
I even have the same Redfield dovetail base, 4-screw low rings, and 3-9X40mm scope with Accurange reticle. The scopes the USMC used were anodized green but mine is just black.
It's basically the civilian version of a M40.
Most posters on here are poor. Don't listen to them.
Jarrett Rifles Beanfield Rifle, or a Texas Brigade Armory replica.
You want to build a rifle. Get an action you like, drop it onto a stock, get a nice optic. Done.
OP specifically asked for a cheap alternative.
>Or just buy a rem 700 spsaac sd 20in and throw it in a mcmillan or whatever.
This is the right way to go, OP. A perfect blend of aesthetic larp, it's authentic enough to the original, and it's doable instantly if you have the $$$
get rid of the eotech and i am okay with this
Does the doorknob open the bullet chamber?
Model 700 SPS Tactical. Replace the stock with something you want unless the stock works for you then all is good.
Here's my 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD in 6.5Creedmoor
>mememoor
>poorfag
Oh and I'm considering replacing the stock with a m40 style one. I'm not sure which one I want a B&C or a Mc one. I just want a proper free floated M40 styled rifle.
In the future, I might switch up my scope but for now it'll do all I need and more.
>the M40 is just a rem700 guyz
this is what remshit owners tell themselves.
Get a chassis, magpul or krg. Bedded stocks are a thing of the past. No reason not to go with a lighter and free floated chassis.
Definitely replace the shitty stock on that sps aac. I have one, and put it in an xlr element, pic related, not mine, but mine looks exactly the same with the same shit on it.
I don't know about BC but Mc pillar beds most of their stocks so it doesn't really matter
Ya but bedding eventually wears out, and there is always shit touching the barrel. At least with chassis, it totally eliminates the issue.
But it is...
Its literally a rem 700 that has been worked on by gunsmiths to the standards set by the usmc.
>buying Remington filth
Just get a .308 Savage Axis 2 m8, and try to find 10 round mags if you can along with a bipod and you're golden.
>to the standards set by the usmc.
Which just means it has to work for 20+ years while operated by a semi-literate moron who beats the shit out of it and serviced by a quasi-literate moron who also beats the shit out of it, but in a different, by-the-book way.
>Literally any
this. i feel like OP IS the fag who posted about the awp last night.
just go to literally any gun store and buy literally any rifle.
buy green spraypaint and a bipod if u get wet about it
no...im talking specifications like, specific barrel length and twist, specific stock and bedding process, etc.
But now they are just buying AI rifles, since they werent retarded like army who used long actions to shoot 308. And everyone is officially making the switch to 300wm.
>officially making the switch to 300wm brass
That'd be great, lapua would start making them again.
It could have been a good beltless caliber like 30 nosler if they weren't all proprietary but I'm still happy with it
Chair force detected
Army made the switch to 300wm because thawas their plan all along, lmao. Thats why the m24 always had a long action, instead of a short one since 308 was the mainstay. Reason why usmc went short action with the m40 is cause they came in after the m24. And saw they would be using 308 for the forseeable future. And guess what, it lasted alt 4 decades.
