I also posted this on snipers hide. Looking for advise and a little education.
I have a 1980 Remington 788 243win. I have read a lot about these rifles and heard good things about them. This is my first .243. I would like to make this rifle a better long distance shooter. Keep in mind I am a Army SSG so I am not made of money. But I'd like to re-barrel it, What barrel should I use, How long, what twist. I want it in a tactical Stock, I was thinking a McMillan A2, your thoughts. It has a 3x9 leupold scope mounted right now. I'm looking to go out beyond 800yrds. I will take all your best advise and do things one at a time, post pics and results. And any info on the Remington 788 would be greatly appreciated.
