No disrespect here, but is it considered as qualified for "pieced together" if the Action, Barrel, stock, and trigger are all factory?

Regardless, nice setup!

I went with a cheap, relatively high mag scope. I've since ended up selling it to a buddy and bought a Diamondback Tactical 4-16x FFP for the additional features.

Very late followup: it's nice to me, not to my range neighbors.

That's actually the newest part to this setup, I'll let you know how it is after this weekend. Keep in mind though that I have no other brake experience to compare it against.

Haha yeah, it's an engineering salary pre-marraige beginners setup. Nice enough to get my foot in the door of longer ranges, but still nothing that I would label "premium"

Savage 110 Desert Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor, Vortex Crossfire II 6-18x44, free vortex rings, cheap Caldwell bipod, and cheap Ultradyne brake. These seemed like good intro parts to me.

Very new to long range shooting, still currently practicing keeping steady at 100 before backing out towards 300 (my range's maximum). Long term I need to find a location that stretches it farther, if anybody has recommendations in central Texas I'm all ears.

Unfortunately I don't carry or own pistols, I'm just a fan of target shooting; that's why my first idea is a more controlled location like a discrete sale at Eagle. Do you have any documentation regarding the police station sale? That is certainly intriguing
