New Rem 700 AAC-SD .308 . . . now what?

[JustCallMePapa]

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">I just picked up my Rem 700 AAC-SD .308. Before I go forth to make a bunch of mistakes, I would like to get opinions on how to dress this girl. I plan to hunt deer and coyotes, but plan to shoot steel and paper year-round. I am limited to 850-900yrds typically. I handload Berger VLDs in 168gr and 175gr. I'm in no hurry to get her running, so if I need to save $ for a while that's OK. What would you do? I want lots of options and then take the best advice.</span> Thanks, in advance!
I guess I was looking for mystical advice from the Masters of the Shooting Universe. You know: "replace the factory stock with this new <span style="font-style: italic">magical</span> stock" or "replace the cheap plastic floorplate with this <span style="font-style: italic">magical</span> metal".
I value the advice and opinions on this site. Hope I didn't waste anyone's time. Think I'll just go shoot it.

Sorry brother, you just need to shoot it and decide what issues you have. Then solve the issues. That is how you get better with a rifle and fit the rifle to you.

I could tell you all kinds of stuff to throw on the rifle. It won't necessarily make you a better shooter.

Bell and Carlson or a HS precision stock, then get out and shoot it. The factory hogue stock is crappy and will need to be replaced for best accuracy.
