[QUOTE="k4ylr, post: 3310651, member: 40231"] Here's a good run down: [LIST] [*]Don't buy a new Remington. Despite what Fuddlore tells you; they are **** since the Freedom Group buy out. [*]Continue to not buy a Remington, and then also don't buy a factory Remington in case you were thinking you'd buy a Remington. [*]R700 footprinted clones or trued/printed semi-customs are fine. [*]Do buy a 6.5 over a .308. Factory ammo is plentiful and it's better. [*]Pick from Savage, Ruger (American Predator or Precision Rifle), Tikka, Bergara or Howa/Weatherby. [*]Shave your rifle budget, to afford better glass. SWFA SS in a fixed 10 or 12x, Vortex DB Tac FFP, Athlon Argos BTR are where I'd [I][B]start[/B][/I]. [*]Other optics choices obviously the Viper PST II, Sightron SIII, Bushnell Match Pro, SWFA 5-20, Athlon Midas TAC [*]If you want to go bespoke, ARC Nucleus, Bighorn (now Zermatt) Origin, Defiance, Kelbly's actions, pick a stock or chassis and a good barrel. X-Caliber, Bartlein/Criterion prefits, Preferred Blanks, Hawkill etc... [/LIST] The aftermarket support is huge and wide, buy the best glass you can afford (buy FFP glass, in mils or MOA. But [I]most[/I] precision shooters use mils. So if you want help, get mils) and shave your rifle budget down to afford better glass and more trigger time. [/QUOTE]
