I'm looking to build a 300-500yd tactical rifle. I currently have a Savage 111FCXP3 in 30.06 (No accutrigger or accustock) I know these Savages can be a real shooter, however the aftermarket for them is kinda small compared to the Remy 700s. Especially when you look into the stock options. Thinking about building a Remington SPS Tactical in .308
Both would have Viper Vortex PST 6-24x50 and a harris bipod
If I were to build the Savage:
Manners MCS-T4 stock $700
Shilen barrel $320
Timney trigger $110
CDI bottom metal $280
Total: $1410
Remy 700 SPS .308 tactical $ $650
AICS stock 1.5 $850 -- I freaking love this stock
Total $1500
The Remy has a heavy barrel and a decent adjustable trigger so I figure there really isn't a need for an upgade on these yet. I also really like the detachable mags on the AICS stock. If I build the Remy, I'll still have my Savage... Or I could sell it and make the Remy about $300 cheaper.
With the shilen barrel, I assume the Savage would shoot a bit better, but both are probably better than I am. I'm not a real big fan of the Manners stock. But for LA savages there isn't much out there... Frown.
I have recently started reloading... Mostly for my AR and ACR. Picking up a set of 308 or 30.06 dies and doing that should not be a big deal.
Your thoughts...? I'm looking for a project that is accurate and fun to shoot.
