[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 469209, member: 13632"] First of Welcome to LRH, it's a great place!! The 308 is a perfect place to start, it offers a long life of stable accuracy that will make the learning process much easier. As far as the stock is concerned you can make it look and function a lot like a B&C, I shot dry wall screws into the stock on my Model 12 and made deep scars in the plastic so that I could mold JB putty to it, I made a more vertical grip with a palm swell almost identical to the B&C. Did the same treatment to the comb to raise my check weld. Bedded two arrows in the forend and poured it full Devcon, bedded the whole action then painted flat black. Worked out great till I got a B&C. As far as optics the EGW base will need bedded but that is super simple and you will need 20 MOA, Burris rings should work out, I use the Weaver tac rings but they are similar and I really like how lightly the larger tac rings hold your optic. The scope it's self I would chose the Nikon or better yet a WOTac 4-14x50, it is more optic than the others listed and much better for hunting, it has a more dependable warranty which at the 300 dollar level a guy has to look at!
