hey guys, ive done so much reading and asked several of my buddies about what im wanting to do but i would like to hear from yall as well. aight i want a nice precision weapon for medium to long ranges. maybe 800 yards max. so my dilemma is that i cant decide between a savage 10fcp with mcmilan stock (maybe the h&s precision) or a remington 700 ss r5. i love the r5 with the mil spec barrel and that smooth 700 action but i hate the stock. ive read and heard great things about savage but ive never owned one. between my dad and i there are 3 700 (all long actions) that shoot really well. ive never held a mcmilan stock but i love the way it looks and as silly as it sounds it kind of inspires confidence lol. my concern i guess is that since i love the r5 barrel and action should i just stick with that? or kind of go against the grain so to speak and test the waters with the savage? the twist on the r5 is 1 in 11.25 and the twist on the savage is 1 in 10. my dad and i reload together so that working for us. the caliber will most likely be 308 but havent completely ruled out the 300 win mag but its not likely at all. i just cant decide! its killing me. i mean the rifle will be for fun realistically as there arent many areas around me to stretch out a rifle at long ranges. ij plan on putting a bipod on the weapon and want to use my left hand up against my shoulder on the bottom to help hold/steady it so my action hand is more free. im not sure if the a5 mcmilan stock is more conducive for this type of shooting vs the r5 stock (which is a h&s precision). thanks for your time and here are links to both.
