[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 604337, member: 10832"] I would go with a Savage or Howa stock gun. I personally would look at the 6.5x284 or 260 in the Savage and 6.5x55 in the Howa. The Howa is going to be really tough to beat IMO because it is very well priced to start, to keep your overall package under $1,500, but you will also have a great action to build off of later on. $520-750 Burris Signature rings and bases- $75 SWFA 3-9x42 with mil quad reticle- $600 MIL/MIL scope excellent turrets, plenty of power for 600 yards shooting, compact and nice for a decent carry option. Redding micrometer seating die set- a great die for precision loading- $92 Lapua brass in any of the 3 calibers I mentioned! You are getting me all fired up just thinking about the potential of this setup! Scot E. [/QUOTE]
