Hi Guys-
My dad and grandfather are both into their 6mm BR rifles for precision paper hole punching. I'm not ready to move to a dedicated caliber yet but do want to have an accurate rifle in the gun safe.
I'd really like a .308, for me there are lots of questions around this?
1. Which platform, AR, Bolt, which bolt, or M1A.
2. I would like to keep it affordable in the beginning and improve as I go along, to me this scream bolt action Remington 700.
3. Barrel length, lots of folks swear by 20" .308's I doubt the USMC was wrong with 24" barrels either, the M40A1 is a battle proven design.
4. Start with a whole rifle or just an action and build from there? Two things here, I could start with a stripped AR10 or Rem 700 action and upgrade, or I could shop for something like a 700P or 700SPS Tactical. Any other better 700 choices for a tack driver?
5. Any other advice suggestions or tips you could share I always welcome help!
Thanks
Josh
