Alright, looking for recomendations. My first build ever. Decided to try it myself. Remy 700 SPS Tactical, Tac Ops knob, Badger M5, and a HS Precision PST093 stock. I turned my Varmint rifle into something better. Nikon has to go as it was great for hunting, but not for the new objective. I am looking for some recomendations, after a big outlay of cash to build from scratch. Optics? Ammunition? She has a 20" barrel, wondering who has had success with what loads and optics.

looks good , very satisfying doing it yourself isin't it.

For a starting load I like to start with 42gr Varget and a 175gr SMK bullet and creep my way up , generaly end up around 44gr with the bullet around .020" off ther lands
