I bought a 700P about a year ago and have spent the past year getting started learning about the different aspects of precision rifle, reloading and practical/tactical shooting. I knew getting started that this was going to be a REAL learning experience, but looking back now I had no idea. I chose the 700P because it was a decent factory rifle that is known to shoot factory Fed GMM well. This meant that I could buy ammunition to get started until I got the hang of reloading and finding what my rifle likes. I have only been to local shooting ranges and have never been to a match.
I am starting to think about upgrading my equipment and start getting more serious. I am sure that there are many quality rifles from numerous builders. I am not really asking for opinions of which one is the "best", however I would like to limit the amount of money that I spend by getting a new rifle only to realize next year that I would have been better suited with another choice. I also don't want to neglect the option of truing and re-barreling the rifle that I have.
I have been lurking around here for a while and I really appreciate the wealth of knowledge flowing around by this group. I would like to hear what advice you would give to a guy like me; with the knowledge you have now.
Thanks in advance!
