Hey guys, I am fairly new to precision rifles. I have two factory Rem 700's that I have done the basic stuff to (stock, trigger, etc). I am now looking to do my first custom build. Can you guys make sure that there isn't something major that I am missing? The purpose of this rifle will be a long range target/hunting rifle. For hunting it will be shot off the back of a UTV/Truck at hogs on a family farm, so weight isn't a huge concern since I won't be carrying it through the woods. For target shooting, I have several steel targets ranging from 4" to 24", I have the room to get about 2,000 yards on my own land about and hour from my house and the local range has a 600 yd range. Right now I do not compete, but might want to some day.
OK, here are the build specs. Are there any blaring mistakes or faux pas that I have made?
Thanks a lot,
Paul
