[QUOTE="gremcat, post: 211748, member: 10148"] Ok guys need some advice I curently have a 12 fv in .223 custom built with all kinds of goodies I also have a 93 fv .22 mag.SO I have about 1500 to spend on a rifle and 600 on the scope.I am pretty sure the scope will be a leupold mark 2 tactical.I am stumped on the gun I thought about changing the barrel on the .223 to a .308 and getting a stag super varminter with the half moa guarantee .Very tempting but I have never owned a ar and don't know the first thing about maintaining them .The other thoughts are a remington 700 xcr long range in .308 ,a 700p in .308 a tikka t3 tactical in .308 or a sub moa vanguard in .257 weatherby mag.The last one is kinda out there but would be fun.I am just starting to get gear together to handload and thought since the .308 is tried and true I can get a wealth of knowledge on it.I should state that I shoot to 300 yds and might soon have the oppurtunity to go further with this new 1500 yd range being built near raleigh.I also will use this rifle for deer ,pigs,etc.But the majority of it is for paper punching.However I have a .223 and a 22 mag so probaby not a lot of paper punching.I use the .223 mostly.ANy help would be great .I thought of a f /tr but own 2 savages already.Mostly just trying to replace the model 70 7 rm with a fun to shoot gun.
