Alright folks, I call upon your expertise.
I'm looking to start building a bolt action system, here's what I got so far:
I'm looking to achieve long range (700, 800+ yards?). So I'm thinking .308,
Remington 700 SPS 20" 5/8-24 threads for breaks/suppressor options. Mcrees precision stock. That's about as far as I've gotten, I don't really know what I want for glass, rings, and base. Suggestions?
Is the Remington 700 capable of that kind of distance?
I would appreciate your thoughts on a system like this, I keep coming back to the Remington 700 for the cost and precision. I'm not looking to enter any competitions, and I'm kind of on a budget.
Should I be looking at a whole other bolt action to begin with?
Thanks,
~Scott
