It seems to me on the equipment exchange here there's a ton of budget line "precision rifles" on that section of the EE that are nothing more than a standard hunting rifle with a heavier barrel and maybe slightly better stock and barrel. I think it would be nice to have 2 categories like there are in optics. say 3k and up on the precision rifles so stuff like Cadex, PGW, Sako, Dessert tech etc. not knocking some of the budget stuff like the Ruger RPR but it doesn't belong in the high end category.
Does anyone else think they should have a higher end precision rifle category in EE?

Had one. government made it a prohib...PGWDTI LRT-3
just out of curiosity how is the higher end scope thingy working
the 2 forums work well for the scope ee
don’t know if it would be the same for rifles but it might depending on not only price but must have a custome action or at least 3 things done to it,
trigger, barrel and rail?
not sure how to structure it but I,think it is worth a try
again the scope section is a lot better in my opinion

Thats a good point, a lefty section makes lots of sense too. I don't know what kind of work goes in to making that happen, but I know I'd appreciate a section like that.
High end does not always mean - precision or tactical....
With very well established watch forums where they (members and online stores) sell hundreds of thousands of dollars of (used & lnib) timepieces annually for decades now - they make it simple: Watches Over X$0,000's, watches Under X$0,000's.....so perhaps Rifles Over $3000 WTS and Rifles Under $3000 WTS as an example. Take a poll on this one for our forum..
I think it achieves the separation some may be seeking

People still haven't got the hang of the 2 optic sections. I still see high end pieces being put on the "budget" optic section.
OP asked about a rifle category, not a rifle 'parts' category as I understand.....

There are already four separate EE sections for rifles. All the handguns are crammed into one. If the mods are going to subdivide a thread I'd recommend they sub divide handguns before they make a precision rifle and precisioner rifle section.
I think what the Op is asking for can be better achieved by updating the READ ME sticky for precision rifles to advise people that their bone stock Savage 10 Tr and their custom ruger 10/22 are not precision rifles.

My request is the same as always. If you can't figure out how to change your ad to "please remove" or post pics you shouldn't be on the EE.
I understand where the confusion could be as for a long time, I thought “precision” referred to an “accurate” rifle capable of shooting small groups. It was not until someone took the time to explain that “precision” referred to the “style/platform” the rifle is based on.
