I'm not exactly new to shooting but I've never gotten into the longer range stuff (600m+) and I got a Remington 700 SPS .308 right before I deployed. I'm looking to get some parts together to build it into my long range hog/deer rifle when I get home. I'm not the kind that will just shoot and hope the animal bleeds out before I get there. In my opinion, hunting should be a clean kill or not at all. So with that in mind, I've got a few parts scoped out and I'd like to get the forum's opinion on if I'm going the right direction or wasting my money. I want the rifle to be a 1000m nail driver. I also plan on suppressing it (and every other firearm I own). The tacti-cool mall ninja stuff makes me gag so if it doesn't have a legitimate function I'm not really interested. Anyhow here are the parts I'm looking at. If I'm completely off base please steer me in the right direction.
Chassis
AICS 1.5 FDE
or
KRG X-Ray
Glass
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP with a Horus TReMoR2 Reticle
or
I am really open to suggestions here. I firmly believe in buy once cry once, but I'm still working with a budget of about $1K for glass.
Scope mount
Badger Rail
2 Piece QD Rings
I'm not planning on replacing the trigger but I'm not opposed to mirror polishing every surface in there. I did a ton of polishing to my AK and she shoots like a dream (for an AK). Oh and I have a high cut MICH helmet with a bunch of upgrades to trade if anyone's looking to get rid of parts.
Thanks for the help yall.
