Hello everyone!
Just wanted to start with this is my first long range build and did not want to break the bank entirely. I do not mind Buy once cry once if it is the better choice. I have been lurking around this form and with encouragement from a buddy, finally decided to take the plunge.
Will be using Remington 700 AAC-SD and adding.
-Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 ffp mrad
-muzzle brake from Ross Schuler
-NightForce 20moa rail
-Griffin Armament E-Tac rings
-KRG bolt knob ( unless I can find a gunsmith in Houston that is capable )
And this is where I would like to pick your brains.
1. With so many stocks out there what would be recomended for a beginner? Would like to stay under 1k for the stock, and have been looking at a Manners T5a and a Rock Solid Stock. The Rock Solid is appealing since bedding seems easier on it, and would not need to get a Mini Chassis for box magazines.
2. What are some Bipods to choose from? I see Atlas are very popular, but are there any other viable options?
Lastly, are there any good training courses in Texas? I found Rifles Only, but not many other choices. I know basics, but a firm believer of doing things the proper way from the get go.
Thank in Advance.
