Savage precision carbine, Remington 700 tactical, or howa 1500 varmint? looking to build a long range(up to 500get yards) precision gun. Also will be upgrading stock soon after purchase unless y'all think the savage accu stock will b alright. Will b reloading. Which would u pick and why? Thanks.

Welcome to the Hide

Remington all the way, reason being there the most heavily supported action on the planet.
 
Re: cant decide on which 308???

None of the above. Go with a Rem 700 5R, either 20 or 24" (doesn't matter). You can get them from milehighshooting.com

I can't complain with my 5r. Outshoots me!
 
Re: cant decide on which 308???

i am starting with the aac sd but would like to work towards another barrel. more so because i want something more exotic.
 
Re: cant decide on which 308???

Remington anything over the other. Just look at the amount of stuff there is on here for them.
 
Re: cant decide on which 308???

i've owned remingtons and savages but not howa

a savage accustock is a good stock

bell and carlson makes stocks for certain savages and remingtons
 
Re: cant decide on which 308???

If your looking to build and change stocks and all then
consider the FN A3 FBI 308.
Of course all SPR's are trued from the factory, but with
the A3 you get 1/2 moa guarantee plus the chrome lined
barrel(all sprs again) As far as the barrel the SPR's are like an M24
They measure. 924. Comes with McMillan A3G stock.
The more I think about FN the more I like.
I just hope the info Ive given you is accurate.
If not, please feel free to correct me.

The 5R is definitely hard to beat for out of the box accuracy and price, only downside for me was the trigger.
 
Re: cant decide on which 308???

Another 5r lover here! Easiest gun ever to find a load for and shoots consistent .75 moa Average accuracy at 300 yds, This is my go to hunting rifle now.
 
Re: cant decide on which 308???

Remington is definitely the way to go if you plan on making upgrades later.
