Thanks all for the suggestions. Fortunate to have Brownells down the road I had them get me set up with the EGW 20moa base and some TSR med rings. I ordered the Vortex optic from Optics Planet a week ago (it was in stock) and it still hasn't shipped. To say I'm anxious to get this setup to...

Thanks for the feedback. My local options are Sportsmans Warehouse, Bass Pro, Scheels and Brownells is just 40 miles east. Sportsmans has been less than knowledgable and BPS has no selection in the store. Trying Scheels tomorrow and then Brownells is always a failsafe. I'm just most...

Here's what I have: Remington 700p 308 and a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP. Setup will be used for target shooting (out to 500 yds to start). The guys at my LGS were useless as far as recommending an appropriate base and rings thus this post. What would you recommend? My local options...

I'm not planning to hunt with it. Main use will be at the range.

Been shooting handguns and tactical rifles for years now and am moving into LRS as well. Recently purchase a Remington 700P 308. For now, wanting to shoot 100-500yds at the range...fortunate that Brownell's range is down the road and goes out to 500. My budget is $500. Would prefer...

The deal is done. Now I just need glass and rings. Cannot wait. The dealer is Rhine Group Firearms: 762SASS.com :: www.762sass.com 515-963-3484 While they don't have a huge selection in their shop, they will order for you and do quite a bit for the Des Moines PD and other area departments.

Thanks all for the feedback. I'll report back when I have more...if I can't find the answers elsewhere in the forum to the questions I'm sure I'll have...I know I can count on the members. Regards.

If I can get started w/o having to change the stock, it'd be all the better. At the end of the day, looking for great out of the box value that's going to last me and perform when I need it to.

Just getting into LR shooting and my LGS is offering me a NIB 700P .308 for $825. Is this a fair deal? After doing some research, I'm also aware that many have gone with an SPS Varmint or Tactical and replaced the stock. Is the HS stock on the 700P worth the extra $225 or so I'd be...
