[QUOTE="britz, post: 215858, member: 7865"] I guess I think that you should know what you are doing if you are going to build a rifle. So I would get a factory rifle first and maybe in a few years you could build one. However, If you buy a stevens (savage) rifle, a Shilan barrel, a better stock better trigger and take it to a gunsmith to put together you could easily get by under $1,100. A 308 is an excellent rifle to practice long range shooting with because it will last several thousand rounds. If you are going to cary the rifle through the thickets, you will be dissapointed in the varmint rifle cuz it will get heavy and it is long. That is why I suggested the sporter weight rifle, but that is just personal prefference. THe SPS trigger leaves something to be desired, it's stock isn't freefloated, but it is a good rifle for the buck. An HS stock isn't very cheap and I think the Sendero has one already. I am a big believer in free floated barrels, so I steared away from the SPS when I picked a 22-250 varmit rifle. I went with the Savage, but I wish I would have paid another 150 for the Tikka.
