I am looking at buying a Remington 700 308 here in the very near future. I plan to buy the Varmint SPS which comes with the heavy barrel and the non bedded stock. I am wondering if it is worth just going ahead and buying a McMillan stock for this gun right away or if it will shoot accurate enough without one.
Looking at the different models of this gun it seems like I can spend $600 for the gun and about $850 for the McMillan A5 stock and come out about the same as buying the gun with a Remington tactical stock on the gun. I would plan to bed this stock in the future but from what I have heard the stock will shoot much better than factory stock even without any bedding. I also believe and I could be wrong that the McMillan stock would free float the barrel out of the box.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am definately no expert on this and I am a week into research on getting this project going.
