Hello guys. It's been a bit since I've posted, but I'm looking to build a bolt gun specifically for long distance shooting (200-600 yards.) I have 3 calibers I'm mainly interested in. The thing is, I don't really know what is best suited for me and what platform to build it on. Now the kicker is.I don't reload rifle caliber nor am I interested in doing it. I know 7mm and 300 Winchester mag are the cheaper options to shoot, however I do like the retained energy of .338 mag.
The second option is rifle selection. I am biased towards tactical type rifles, and I would like to get a good stock and muzzle break for the gun so aftermarket following is a bit important. Price is a bit of an issue, as I would like to keep it under $600 (already have glass though.)
I'm thinking either a savage variant or a Remington 700. Has anyone had any good experiences with Remington lately or are they still pushing out garbage?
