[QUOTE="trebark, post: 421275, member: 19172"] Cap - Although the Savages are nice rifles, I personally lean towards the Remingtons because that's what I have. Also, everyone makes aftermarket parts for the Rem700 and all gunsmiths will work on them. The Rem700 SPS Varmint in 308 is a great choice for a first rifle. Although you only plan to shoot 600 for now, the 308 is certainly capable of shooting 1000 yards. Once you have the rifle, I would encourage you to do a few things to maximize the accuracy (this is pretty much true of any rifle, not just Remington).... 1. trigger 2. stock 3. bedding 4. recrown My nephew's rifle went through the same transformation that I'm suggesting you do... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/nephews-transformed-rifle-53634/[/URL] Similarly, my entry into LRH was with the Rem700 SPS Varmint in 308. [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-308-1k-rifle-evolution-continues-43510/[/URL] After shooting the rifle for a while, I used the action to go all-custom!
