Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and I'm looking to build my first rifle. I have shot a bolt action rifle before but I have zero experience with rifles and scopes. I'm looking to build a rifle, probably a .308. My general philosophy is to start small and work my way up. As I progress, I will look to upgrade to better equipment.
With that said, can someone recommend a good newbie build. Nothing too fancy and nothing that would make me look like a poser. I would rather show up to the range with a crappy rifle that matches my skill level, than showing up with the baddest rifle in the world, which I can't shoot.
My budget is limited and would like my first build to be as cost-effective as possible. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
