Would one be better off starting with an AR-10 (any manufacturer) based platform or a bolt gun like a Remington 700, or similar?
Which is likely to have better accuracy out-of-the-box?
With a total budget of $2000.00 for gun & modifications, ignoring the cost of any optics, which can be modified for superior accuracy?
Is the difference negligible to the point that a shooter's preference for one or the other rifle's ergonomics should outweigh the gain in accuracy of one vs. the other?
Is one more likely to be picky about the ammunition fed to it?
For the sake of argument and to give the gun a specific task, assume this is for competition in prone, slow-fire matches for ranges between 200 and 1000 yards.
Thanks.
