[QUOTE="ducky, post: 1601488, member: 94420"] I'm not worried about MV that much, if I can get 28-2900 FPS out of either I think I'll be fine for my needs. If you look at wind correction numbers a 103-105 grain hunting bullet is still pretty respectable at 600 yards at those speeds. I thought on the Fieldcraft but at around $1800 for either of the threaded 18" options after fees, I think I can do Howa for less than $800, and I can build a Remington for around $11-1200. The Remington build would actually cost a little more than the Fieldcraft in the end, but I've had most the parts since 3-4 years collecting dust so they've been paid for years ago. I just figure that leaves me a better optics budget as well down the road not buying the Fieldcraft. [/QUOTE]
