75% bench, 25% hunting. Something very closely configured to what a Bergara HMR is. 26in bbl, heavy profile, threaded. Mag fed(likely mag fed, I'm flexible on that) , likely in a KRG Bravo.
What real world cost am I looking at? What's the most effective specific brand parts to compile for this? Again, not looking for flash.
Assuming I go with a trued factory action and bolt...?
Something like the Pacific tool and gauge actions for $67ish
Or, would I be better off starting with the Rem 700 Long range, and have it worked? I know Rem QC ain't all that but having my smith true up the action should fix all the factory shortcomings, and I hear the stock is decent. I can get one for $679
Thoughts?
