[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 799872, member: 2736"] He is right. With a proper pillar bedding, Ammo and a good shot they can be very good for long range shooting. The problem with a factory stock is when the humidity changes some of the solid wood stocks move around and may change your zero. Heat also makes the stock move. Laminates or composites are much more stable and normally fit better (More models to chose from) instead of one size fits all like the factory. If you buy a Varmint rifle I will come with a better stock, a heavy barrel and a better trigger. And with good reloads shoot well enough to compete in long range matches. I would recommend the Remington or the Savage Varmint (Both come in 308) and save some money. You can Hunt and compete with the rifle and later you can build a custom rifle that is what you want that will do it all. And if you buy a rifle with a good stock all you need to do is have a custom barrel installed and maybe a Jewell trigger and spend $800.00 to $1000.00 more and have a custom rifle.
