[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1298081, member: 12193"] You're definitely on the right track. I've put together several rifles for friends of mine that had a similar budget. All of them were Remington 5Rs or Senderos. I've done 2 of the 5R Gen 2 .308s and both of them shot well with factory ammo. Here is how we set them up: Nightforce 20 MOA rail: $60 Seekins Precision rings (same as Vortex Precision Matched), medium or low: $130 Holland's scope level: $60 Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50: $525 These rifles like the Federal GMM ammo. They shoot around 3/4 MOA, which is pretty decent with factory ammo. I think this is typical for these guns - some shoot better, but I haven't heard of any shooting worse. We tried 168 and 175 grain ammo and each rifle preferred one over the other. There are a few good scopes in your price range. I found good deals on the PST scopes at Euro Optic and Scopelist. A lot of this is about personal preference. Its nice if you can look at these guns and scopes in person before choosing one. Whatever you decide to get be sure to post some pics. [/QUOTE]
