I have recently started shooting my rifle and really enjoy the challenge of "long range rifle shooting."
At this time, I do not have the money to go out and buy the rifle set-up of my dreams, but I would like to make some improvements on what I currently have.
Over a period of the next several months, I would like to accumulate some aftermarket parts for my build and would appreciate the input from some more experienced shooters.
What I have now is a Remington Model 700 30-06 springfield. The gun shoots great and operates flawlessly. It is pretty basic with the factory walnut stock and a BSA 3-9x40 scope.
Both the stock and the scope need to be upgraded.
I have looked at some aftermarket stocks and some of them are pretty expensive...400-500 bucks. Can you guys give me some pros and cons of some stocks that would fit my gun and also which scope would you perfer?
Keep in mind that I am on a budget, but would like to improve what I have.
Thanks in advance.
