[QUOTE="liltank, post: 475055, member: 13275"] I like this setup to start. The 5R and 700P are nice rifles, but you pay for it. Instead of the A2 (Which I own for my Savage), if you can swing the cost look into the A5 offered by B&C from Stocky's stocks. It is fully adjustable and a much better stock. I couldn't get it because I own a Savage. Just something you may want to think about. [url=http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/the-108/mcmillan-a5-stock-tactical/Detail]Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist A5 Fully Adjustable - Remington 700 BDL (SPS, XCR, VTR) & Weatherby Mk V - #2094, 2098, 6629[/url] I essentially started with the same setup only in a Savage Mod12 Low Profile. It's a very nice rifle and easy to work on w/o a smith. I will suggest getting an EGW one piece 20MOA base. I own the 4.5x14x40 Buckmaster and like it, but the turns on it can be a little short for distance if you don't add the 20MOA base. That will help and get you to 800yds or more. I was able to get to 1000yds with mine set up like that. That was a paper/groundhog set up. For rings I would suggest the Burris XTR, or Signature Zee Rings. I also like Warne rings too. All three are quite sturdy. Make sure you do a good barrel break in and get the trigger worked on. This will help your success of accurate shooting tremendously. Have fun and can't wait to see the final product. Tank P.S. May want to take a look at Savage. [/QUOTE]
