So I posted a while back about building a long range hunting rifle, got some info. Things have changed, to advance the project!!!
Well a few weeks ago I won a shotgun in a raffle, but I have no use for it. I'm going to go to pick it up but just trade it towards a 700 .308. Now I just need to figure out which 700 to get that would be a good platform to build from.
I have no clue about long or short actions, or which model I need to start with. Remington makes waaaaay too many different variations for a rookie to figure out
What should I get? I don't want to spend more than $1200, and I'd like to be closer to $6-800, since the gun is basically going to end up being nothing more than a serial number surrounded by all custom parts.
Also should I stick with a .308, or would any other caliber be a better choice for long range hunting? Distance of 800yds max
Are there any models I should avoid?
I'm going to get the gun tuesday
