[QUOTE="CaptBeach, post: 591824, member: 31011"] TenXix, Semper Fi brother...thanks for your service... Just my 2 cents...I'm a former USMC 2111/2112 Armorer/RTE Armorer as well as PMI and Western Div Shooter with a little helo door gunnin thrown in too... With your budget you could have TWO absolute banging setups... A lightweight .308 built on a Savage action with a lightweight stock and a very good glass as well for under $1000 or so...best thing of all is you could build it yourself and pass it along to your kids... AND again building it yourself... A Heavy Barreled Long Action chambered in 300WM with a high end stock and glass... Savage LA $325 Recoil Lug and TRigger $150 CDI Bottom Metal with AICS Mags and inletting $300 Premium Stock (McMillan, Manners) $600-750 Premium Barrel $350-$500 Harris Bipod $125 Mount and Rings $125 Scope Leupold Mk IV $1100 NEW or little more for one of the Huskemaws seen here... Spend the rest on Brass and components and shoot the **** out of it... There is nothing quite as satisfying as hearing the UPS truck delivering more gun parts and then building it yourself...you can pretty much ONLY do that with a Savage. Or you can spend $5K on a custom one off rifle... Anyway your choice bro...lot of satisfaction building your own... Again...Semper Fi...keep your *** low and your neck on a swivel...come home safe...
