Who makes a quality AAC 300 Blackout bolt gun?

[bigjake]

I don't know whether to go with the bolt action or AR style rifle. What do y'all think?

Check out the Ruger American

If you already have an AR, just get an upper. For suppression nothing beats a bolt gun, but it is not hard to add a gas block with a shut off. Add a side charge upper, and you have the best of both worlds. I really like the 300, but you have to understand its limitations on game, and not make it into something it is not. It seems given the choice when I take people to the range they prefer shooting the 300's more than the 5.56's for some reason. It does a little better on the fun factor I suppose.

I like the bolt rifle. I can shoot light boolits subsonic with trail boss, red dot or any of the fast pistol/shotgun powders. They are very quiet compared to 200+grain subsonic loads wi th AA1680 or similar powders. I think there is a lot more flexibility with the bolt gun.

Mine is a custom 300 whisper on a 700 short action so I can't help you with current available rifles.

I have a 300 blk ar pistol that never get a shot. I always grab the bolt gun.

I just got a Ruger American in 300 BO...and without having a chance to shoot it, I am very impressed. I bought mine at Whitaker guns, and with a Sightron S1 3-9x40 HHR scope, it was about 450 shipped.

I have both the AAC which is built on the remington model-7 action [700+ bucks], and the ruger American.
the ruger costs half and the looser tolerances show it.
I still like shooting it better.

you have another option, buy a 223 bolt rifle and get a 1-7 twist barrel screwed on it.
that would be the road I would take looking back.

[liliysdad]

I have a fast twist 223, and the Blackout...the Blackout does things the 223 wont, and the reverse is true. I dont find them comparable in many, if any ways.

I have a Remington 700 SPS in 300 Black Out. I bought it before the Ruger American in 300 came out. I like it but it is heavy. Shoots well off the bench. Still might buy the Ruger American in 300 Black out if I find a good deal on one. Have the Ruger Predator in 223 and really like it.

cooper firearms builds a 300 blackout, nice guns!

Check out CDNN, they have some Remingtons in 300aac on sale right now.

They have the Model 7 for $599, the cheapest I have seen it.

If you can find one, H&H made some Handi Rifles in 300 Blackout and CVA makes in in their single shot (Scout or Hunter, I forget which) as well. I bought a CVA from Bud's for <$200 and have been quite pleased.

[liliysdad]

I have the CVA as well...but its being replaced by the American. The CVA is OK, but a repeater is a much better package for the round.

[runfiverun]

I think you misunderstood my last sentence.
buy a 223 rifle and have a 30 caliber 7 twist barrel screwed on it.

[liliysdad]

Ahh...I follow now, and that makes perfect sense.

[nekshot]

yup, I got a 300 BO barrel for my sav 111 and a bolt head for it about $235 or 240 ready to go as a single shot.
