I'm stuck between a Remington 700 AAC-SD .308 20'' or a Remington 700 Tactical 5R (22'' Fluted barrel, SS barrel, 5R, non-threaded, HS stock, coated barrel and action)
The AAC-SD is ~$700 and the 5R Tactical is $1300+tax, does the 5R Tactical options justify $650 extra?
The HS stock seems ok, I prefer the McMillian A5/A4 or Manners T4A maybe even a AICS 2.0.
Will I have to bed the McMillian stocks or the Manners T4A?
I'm drawn to the threaded barrel because my AAC 762SDN-6 will be here in a month or so. And I'll probably have to pay a smith $200-$300 for him to thread the 5R Tactical.
Also what is a good magnification for shooting up to 1000-1200 yards? is 3-15x O.k?
Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions. Thanks for the help in advance.
