I've got the urge for a 308 bolt gun. I want to do a nice quality setup, but at a price point under $3k for the whole thing. I was able to come in just under that and keep $30 in my pocket.
I've had a few R700s with my last one being a 20" in a ACIS chassis with a Timney trigger. After looking at my options I decided to try something new. I strayed from Remington and settled on an FN SPR A1a. For the price I figured I couldn't go wrong. After I'd outfit an R700 with a trigger, rail, and stock, i'd be pretty close to buying the factory SPR.
Ordered that and my scope. Wanted to keep it under a grand so I went with a Vortex 6-24x50 FFP. Bipod and rings were next.
Went with Seekins .87" Med rings, Atlas BT-10 bipod with LaRue QD mount, and a Seekins SRS rail for the Mcmillan stock.
Not my rifle, but a great shot of what it looks like. Looking forward to seeing if I made the right choice.
