[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1282960, member: 229"] This. Personally, (and knowing what you've already done with building several ARs), I would buy the cheapest Remington 700 action you can find in either .308 or .243 (because you can swap barrels on a .243 and you're back to .308) and then have Steve Baldwin upgrade the barrel to a Hart and blueprint the action. Put that on a decent stock (B&C's Medalist Tactical is the best bang-for-the-buck in my opinion) and you've got a precision shooter that you didn't have to fund up front. Upgrade the trigger later and pick up a solid 20MOA base and some good rings and you've basically got a serious shooter. I'm a huge fan of Timney triggers. If you want a precision shooter with serious upgraded goodies already on it for a pretty good price, get this: [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98699[/url] Here's my first one - I started with a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .308 (I would not do that again - spent a lot more money on stuff that I ended up replacing - Remington's stocks are crap until you get into the Hogue or HS stocks on particular models. Before: [attach=full]79109[/attach] Ended up looking like this: [attach=full]79110[/attach] [attach=full]79111[/attach] Here's one I built for my son - started out with a cheaper ADL (much better as it was cheaper up front and I was planning on replacing all the crappy parts just like I did with my SPS). I was originally going to use the old SPS barrel off of mine and have Steve re-cut the chamber, re-crown it at 20", thread it and chase the threads, but I decided it wasn't worth the extra money on a factory barrel and just had him put one of his Hart barrels on it.
