[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 571430, member: 6536"] This was my approach. Built a nice longrange rig. Bought good glass for it and put a 20 moa base. I spent alot (relative) on glass so I could use it on both my longrange gun and then use it on the 308 in the off season. For the 308, I started with a used rem PSS. The nice thing about 308 buying used is ok because barrel life is great. I shoot that setup for over a year. Barrel had over 3000 rounds through it. Because longrange shooting and building guns is a sickness I had a new barrel and stock put on the 308. So now I have a really nice hunting rig and a 308 to shoot. I share the glass between them. Now I shoot the 308 from jan to late aug and then set the hinting rig up and get it dialed in. Takes about 25 rounds to get comfortable again. And have 25 rounds for hunting and target practice during the season. Just how I did it. Just remember you can get almost ANY 308 to shoot .75 moa. [/QUOTE]
