[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2383058, member: 94420"] So make his old 670 more modern, $1500 will go further just getting a stock and optics. One of the McMillan Game series stocks start at $500 for standard fill, PT&G Stealth bottom metal are $150, that leaves you $750 to buy a magazine and some optics. My last budget build went $2300 but I couldn't have bought a factory rifle I was looking for for that. That included buying a used rifle, Greyboe Trekker stock, Warne Mountain Tech rings and base, Used NF 3-10X42, Trigger Tech Primary trigger, and some gunsmithing work to mount my suppressor and fix some minor inlet issues with the stock. I'm very happy with how my rifle turned out (9 lbs suppressed), and I'll put more money into it eventually with some sort of coating and maybe eventually a DBM. For your buddies budget I'd be looking at some T3x Tikka in a cartridge he's interested in and use the rest of the money on optics and mounts. Realistically that'll be the most bang for his buck. I wouldn't call it a significant improvement over a good shooting Winchester. [/QUOTE]
