Jmar I'm glad you seem to be shifting from the idea of one gun to do everything. I think in the long run you'll be better served by having several.
I looked at the 700 and 770 last year. The 770 seemed nice but cheap. The 700 is really nice. I hope you get many years of joy from it. And hopefully you'll learn and grow with it.
I can't comment on 30-06 vs 308 so all I can say is if you're swapping stuff I hope you get good instruction as I'd think it'd be a bit more involved than swapping an upper on an AR.
I can tell you that I'm hoping to have my AR build done minus the optics in the next month or two. I'm thinking maybe a cheap red dot or flip ups to shoot it some until I get the scope I want. In my case I'm hoping to work on my short range to 100 to 200 yard skills to eventually try 3 gun. In my case I'm hoping this helps me with building some practical skills and also having some fun too. Plus a goal to train for.
I hope your long range goal does the same for you.
