I want to put together a hunting and general purpose gun. Factory ammo. Local range out to 600 yards, 2 miles from home. Also mule deer, blacktail and bear in PNW. Want to run one of the lightweight folding stock chassis like an XLR atom. Budget is $1600 ish for barreled action, chassis. I have optics, bipod for it already. 308 for ammo selection and avail, functional hunting round, barrel life.
If I can snag a BA on exchange and order the chassis, I think I can make the budget work.
I was thinking I could snag a used bergara premier, rem 700 footprint makes it easy enough for the chassis selection.
But maybe I'm in the budget range for a build on an origin or something similar. Not sure if that's of much benefit to me?
Open to any thoughts or feedback. Not interested in caliber change tho.
